Verder Blogspot 23rd January 2014

“Woke up this mornin’! Saw my pump leaking something brown! I filled out 8 forms of bureaucratic paperwork and the rain came tumblin’ dowwwwwnnn, oh yeahhh......!” The infamous ‘Blue Monday’ hit this week, suggested to be the most depressing day of the year as sang by the Verder resident Blue Maestro ‘Hollerin’ Spanners Hill’, our top pump engineer. The day of reckoning for many people hits with a combination of cold, dark days, penny-pinching from Christmas overspends and realising that the gym membership you signed is for 12 months and not just for January. Here at Verder we have been fielding plenty of calls from plant managers with a blues number of their own: leaking pumps, expensive energy bills, prolonged downtime, messy clean-up operations and they ain’t go no rhythm. However, just as the blues passed on the baton to rock ‘n’ roll, we decided to pay Hollerin’ Hill for once and he wrote a new song... “He’s a maniac! Maaaaaaaniac! I sure know! And he’s never bought a Verder mag drive pump before! He’s a maniac! Maaaaaaaaniac! I sure know! And he’s better get a Verder rep through the door!” Thanks Hollerin’ Hill. So it’s time to get your plant and process some rhythm, so without further ado it’s time to get the official Verder rock ‘n’ roll countdown.... 3) A Verder pump survey – Yes, you too can get your plant in tune with a full site survey with an examination of the demands that your process will need to consider in the short, medium and long-term. The Verder Service Team will audit the existing pumping system(s) and specify any required pumps for where the gap in demand is not being met with a recommendation for spares stock to ensure that downtime is being kept to a minimum. Mmm, catchy! 2) A Verdermag mag drive pump – If you like your records to spin at 78, then step it up to 2900rpm with a Verdermag metallic or non-metallic mag drive pump. Every mag drive pump in the range is free of mechanical seals so there is no wear and is 100% leak-free (widdlin’ guitar solo....). Verdermag mag drive pumps are renowned for providing plant managers with very long MTBF cycles and extended planned inspection and servicing. Combine this with a low spares requirement and a totally contained fluid and you’re going into overdrive. 1) If you’ve had problems with unreliable contractors, inconvenient over-runs and high labour bills, it’s time to leave that mad ‘prog’ concept album alone and give the chart-topping Verder Service Team a call.
