GRAPHALLOY®Bushings Run in Vertical Pump for 34 Years
When the repair shop disassembled the pump, they found that the Graphalloy bushings were still going strong, 34 years later! The 34-year-old Graphalloy bushings were replaced as part of the overhaul and new tin Babbitt-grade Graphalloy bushings installed. The original bushings' longevity in a tough pump service brings new meaning to the term install-and-forget. Graphalloy wear parts protect the pumps and increase pump survival due to their non-galling and self-lubricating features. Visit our pump application page to learn more.

A type VS6 can pump at a major refinery was scheduled for an overhaul. This was a multi-stage pump in gasoline service, and the last time they overhauled it was in 1987.
