"The shaft seal of the three-effect operation pump leaked liquid again. The leakage of liquid in the bearing box affected the lubrication of the bearing. It has been repaired three times recently." Faced with frequent maintenance of three-effect operating pumps, Wang Shuo, an equipment technician in the heavy ash workshop, saw it and was anxious.
"Every repair costs materials and man-hours, and replacement will cost spare parts. Why don't we go to the scrap yard to inspect and see if there are spare parts that can be repaired?" Equipment technician Kou Bo said. Nowadays, driven by the participation of all employees in the company in cost reduction and efficiency improvement activities, the concept of living carefully has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone has a "small account book" in their hearts and calculates "saving accounts" anytime and anywhere.
So, the two of them went to the scrapyard and made a large circle, but found nothing. Just as he was about to give up, Kou Bo had a plan in mind. "Why don't we go to our brother units to see if there are spare parts suitable for us!" Wang Shuo slapped his forehead: "This is a way. Let's also conduct a research!" After saying that, the two began to "door-to-door" Taobao and finally found two centrifugal pumps similar to the workshop's size.
By understanding the structure of the pump, they found that the sealing form of the centrifugal pump is a mechanical seal, which has more reliable sealing performance, low power consumption and long service life. "The three-effect circulating water pump conveys water medium, which is more suitable for using mechanical seals. We can directly replace it with mechanical seals." The two hit it off immediately. After negotiation, they brought the spare parts back to the workshop as if they had obtained a treasure. After the replacement, the three-effect centrifugal pump operated well, leakage no longer occurred, saving 5000 yuan in spare parts purchase costs.
Subsequently, in line with the principle of "making the best use of everything", Wang Shuo disassembled the two replaced pump heads and verified the structure and size of the parts one by one. In the end, with the joint efforts of everyone, the shoulder, keyway, shaft sleeve and coupling length and inner hole were successfully processed and transformed to ensure direct use as parts.
"Now, these idle parts can be used to repair eight pumps in the workshop. Our efforts have not been in vain." Wang Shuo looked at the pumps running smoothly in front of him and was filled with joy.
