Excessive vibrations in a vertical pump in a slurry pit application was leading to failure every month for the North Carolina company Befesa. Repair costs per pump were in excess of $20,000. The vibrations were being caused by the blockage of the pump discharge and the build-up of material inside the pump casing, damaging the mechanical seal and plugging the line shaft.
