University Pump Project

A prominent public university recently faced the challenge of maintaining around 30 critical pumps across its campus, including heat and chiller pumps, sewage pumps, storm drain pumps, inline booster pumps, and condensate pumps. With no in-house maintenance department due to a shortage of skilled trade workers, the university turned to Horner for a comprehensive solution. The project involved refurbishing, replacing, and repairing various pumps, with some also requiring new motors. Horner Pump Repair, Horner Terre Haute, and Indianapolis Field Service collaborated closely to deliver outstanding results. The project was led by Kenzie Mace, Sales Rep, and Travis Brown from Terre Haute, [...]

High Wear Environment Bowls – Industrial Coatings

The presence of a duplicate part submitted for repair serves as a testament to the quality of our workmanship. Specifically, we have recently received the top section of a bowl assembly, an item that has been a recurring client in our facility. These bowl assemblies play a critical role in the processing of grain slurry, a substance known for its erosive tendencies, causing wear and deterioration from within the components. To facilitate the repair we had to cut out about a 16-inch section of bronze and cut a new piece to put in its place. Once the new piece of bronze [...]

Agricultural Seed Plant Drying Facility

A company that raises seed corn has two large locations in Northern Indiana. They bring in the corn during harvest season every August to October when its on the ear, which means its wet. The company dries the corn and shells it on site. The company then sells the seed to farmers to grow the following year. These facilities have a bunch of large belt driven fans that are used for the drying process. One plant has 24 and the other 48. Since the facilities only run a few months a year, they sit idle the rest of the year. They [...]

Horner Helps Biofuel Plant Reopen: An ethanol plant that was recently closed decided to reopen. Their plant equipment sat idle for years since 2018. They are in the process of reconditioning all their equipment and Horner has been tasked with a cooling tower that has a total of six motor/pump combos where they need four of them working at all times. These motors are 600HP vertical pump motors. Other projects that Horner is helping the plant with is rebuilding some of the bases that the pumps sit on, 3 stage Gould pumps, and two large dryer fans.     Cement Finish [...]

Horner Springfield: Sulzer Pump Company Repair Center

          There is an old saying that when you mix water and electricity, water will always win. Judging from the amount of submersible work that the Horner Springfield division has been receiving, I would say that the old saying is very true. We have seen a substantial increase in the number of underwater submersible pumps and agitators that have a motor, gearbox and fan. Part of the reason for the increase in this line of repair work is the long lead time for replacement units. Underwater submersible equipment that our division has repaired ranges in size from [...]

Horner Coatings Saves Customer $75,000!

The process Horner Industrial uses on pumps and pump parts maintains efficiency longer than not coating a pump and it extends the life of the equipment five-fold. It’s also less expensive, in most cases, than purchasing a new part. The pictures on the right are an example of a job we recently had in house. All the parts are 48” multi-stage pump parts, (this company only shipped us the parts). The first picture is a before picture of the suction bell, the second picture is the restored suction bell with our ceramic coating process and sprayed bronze on the wear ring. [...]

Field Service/Pump Repair Go Diving

We were asked to remove a 600 HP vertical motor and the 13 foot long turbine pump that it couples to, from a cooling tower water basin. The motor was removed without incident, but when we lifted the pump out, instead of the expected 13 feet, we only got 5 feet of pump! The pump had actually broken in two! We probed the water, using 8 foot long poles, and could not feel anything. And with caramel colored water in the cooling tower, nothing was visible. The customer had no way to get it out, and even if a new pump [...]

Motor Steel Bases at Pumping Station

We were called to a very rural pumping station in Kentucky. We had to remove two motors from there for repair. When those motors were removed, there were some real issues discovered with the steel bases they were mounted on. One was over filled with grout, and actually bedded the motor into the grout. The grout had actually flown up in between the fins on the bottom of the motor. The correction of this may be a future article, but without correction, this motor will never be able to be moved for alignment! The point of this article is to discuss [...]
