Challenges in Pump and Compressor Technology

In modern industries, pumps and compressors are often operated under extreme conditions. The biggest challenges include 

  • Wear and friction under high loads
  • Corrosion from aggressive chemicals or media
  • Temperature fluctuations and extreme operating conditions

These factors frequently lead to failures, increased maintenance costs, and productivity losses. A central question, therefore, is: How can operating costs be reduced while simultaneously increasing reliability?
