Throughout the year we diagnose hundreds of pump and equipment problems over the phone and have found that in most cases it isn’t a pump problem, but rather a system problem. Sometimes the best tool you can use to help us determine your pumping issue is a camera.

Lately we have seen several pump failures due to improperly installed shaft cushions (p/n 770582). We have noticed that the problem occurs when a shaft cushion is installed in a pump that does not require it.

Often, we get a request for a Pulsation Dampener with ANSI Flanges, rather than the standard NPT port. Yamada only offers the ANSI Flange port option on the AD-25 and AD-40 series dampeners.

In addition to our standard product line, Yamada offers a variety of surface finishes for our stainless steel pumps. These finishes are primarily used for food, pharmaceutical and high purity applications.
