Low Maintenance Pumps for Kinnerton
During the last 18 months, Kinnerton has converted almost their entire pump range at the Norfolk factory into DESMI ROTAN® pumps. More than 38 pumps have been delivered during these months and more are to come.
Lee Hunt – Engineering Manager says: “With DESMI ROTAN® pumps it has been easy rebuilding the pumps and the benefits are many. However, one of the main reasons is the low maintenance. Before we did a check each 6 months and had to do a full repair. With the DESMI ROTAN® pumps we have done a yearly check and we only had to replace the packing on few pumps.”
