BACKGROUND

Ibstock Brick are the UK’s largest brick manufacturer and produce bricks suitable for all building projects. A visit to their Birtley site in County Durham earlier this year by Atlantic Pumps Operations Manager, Ed Smith found that the drainage sump pump installed by their current supplier was unsuitable for abrasive fluids and was collecting clay. Until Atlantic’s intervention the site had been replacing the pump every 4-6 weeks.

SOLUTION

In this particular case we installed a KZN37 heavy duty submersible slurry pump from JS with agitator. The pump was supplied from our Sheffield based warehouse where we have large stocks of pumps and parts available for next day delivery. Supply and installation was seamless.Fast forward two months and Ibstock Brick removed the pump for inspection and cleaning. The photos featured in this case study were supplied to Atlantic Pumps by a pleased Chris Duggan, Engineering Manager at the Birtley site; the parts show very little sign of wear. Additionally, because of the increased pumping capacity the site didn’t have to run the pump for as long therefore resulting in better dewatering of the slurry.
