Using genuine parts enables Weir customers to achieve higher equipment efficiency and extended lifespan, thanks to ongoing enhancements integrated into every component.
“With our continuous investment in research and development, along with our commitment to quality design and manufacturing, we ensure that customers benefit from improved energy efficiency and longer-lasting spare parts,” says John West, Regional Manager Slurry Aftermarket at Weir. “In many cases, replacing an old generation part with a newly designed one actually enhances the overall performance and efficiency of the equipment.”
West highlights that energy consumption represents an ongoing and significant portion of a pump’s total lifecycle costs, yet many users remain focused solely on the purchase price of spare parts.
“Our global studies show that the capital cost of a pump and spare parts represents less than about 10% of its total cost of ownership (TCO) over its lifespan,” says West. “Since energy accounts for nearly 60% of this lifetime cost, opting for a cheaper but less efficient pump can quickly lead to significantly higher operating expenses.”
