Identification

Have an old pump?Start with the nameplate.

Send us the manufacturer, model or simply a photo of the pump nameplate. We can help identify a suitable replacement, compatible part or alternative pump.

Useful details

  • Manufacturer and model designation
  • Serial number or production number
  • Rated flow, head or differential pressure
  • Fluid, temperature and viscosity
  • Motor rating, speed and voltage

Replacement solutions

Replace the pump.Not the process.

A replacement only makes sense if it fits the duty, the fluid and the installation. We work from the operating data first, then discuss sourcing.

Selection pipeline

  1. 01

    Existing pump

    Nameplate, model, drawing or part number.

  2. 02

    Application review

    Duty point, fluid and installation constraints.

  3. 03

    Cross-reference

    Comparable pumps and interchangeable components.

  4. 04

    VELLKEN solution

    Original, compatible or alternative proposal.

What we review

Every cross-reference is checked against the parameters that actually decide whether a pump can be exchanged.

Possible outcomes

01

Original

The original pump or original component, sourced through available channels.

02

Compatible

A component built to fit and function in the existing installation.

03

Alternative

A different pump selected to cover the same duty point and interfaces.

Cross-reference

Running an ALLWEILER pump?

You may have more than one sourcing option.

Cross-reference scope

We can discuss replacement paths for screw, centrifugal and progressing cavity pumps from manufacturers such as:

  • ALLWEILER
  • IMO
  • Bornemann
  • KRAL
  • Leistritz
  • NETZSCH
  • SEEPEX
  • KSB
  • Grundfos
  • Sulzer

Manufacturer names are used for identification and cross-reference purposes only. VELLKEN is an independent supplier.

  1. 01

    Original sourcing

    The original pump or part, quoted through available supply channels.

  2. 02

    Compatible components

    Wear parts and internals manufactured to fit the existing pump.

  3. 03

    Alternative pump selection

    A technically equivalent pump selected around your duty point.

Commercial logic

Why consider an alternative?

Because the sourcing decision is rarely only about the pump itself.

  • 01

    Acquisition cost

    Budget reality for repeat units, spare pumps and secondary duties.

  • 02

    Lead time

    Delivery windows that fit a shutdown, not the other way around.

  • 03

    Spare part availability

    How easily wear parts can be obtained over the coming years.

  • 04

    Serviceability

    Whether the unit can be maintained with your own service capability.

  • 05

    Application compatibility

    Fluid, temperature, materials and sealing must still match the duty.

  • 06

    Lifecycle considerations

    Expected running hours, criticality and total cost over service life.

The cheapest pump is not automatically the best choice. A unit that fails early, runs outside its efficient range or cannot be serviced locally becomes expensive.

A premium brand is not automatically the right answer either. High price does not prove that a specific manufacturer is required for a specific duty point.

We don't start with the brand.We start with the duty point.

Flow, head, fluid and installation define the pump. The nameplate comes afterwards.

Engineering data

Tell us the duty.We'll help define the pump.

The more of this datasheet you can fill in, the tighter the selection. Unknown values are normal — we work with what exists.

Final pump selection is always confirmed technically before an order is released.

Applications

Industries

Pump duties differ far more between applications than between catalogues. These are the environments we work with.

01

Oil & Gas

Crude and product transfer, fuel handling, and lubrication duties across upstream, midstream and refining installations.

02

Lubrication Systems

Oil supply for turbines, gearboxes, compressors and large rotating machinery, where stable flow matters more than peak output.

03

Marine

Fuel transfer, lube oil, cargo and auxiliary duties with tight installation envelopes and long service intervals.

04

Power Generation

Turbine lubrication, fuel oil systems, seal oil and auxiliary circuits in conventional and combined-cycle plants.

  • 05

    Chemical & Process

    Process transfer and dosing duties where material compatibility, sealing and temperature define the selection.

  • 06

    Industrial Machinery

    OEM and retrofit pumps for machine tools, hydraulic units, filtration skids and production equipment.

  • 07

    Water & Wastewater

    Circulation, transfer and sludge duties, including viscous and solids-containing media.

  • 08

    Energy

    Biofuel, heat transfer and balance-of-plant circuits across renewable and hybrid energy installations.

Spare parts

Keep the installation.Replace what wears.

A worn rotor set or a failed seal does not require a new installation. In most cases the wear parts can be replaced within the existing pump.

Send a part number

Send us a part number, drawing, nameplate or photo.

  • 01

    Mechanical seals

    Cartridge and component seals, with face and elastomer options.

  • 02

    Screw sets

    Matched power and idler rotor sets for screw pumps.

  • 03

    Rotors

    Rotors and impellers, including coated and hardened variants.

  • 04

    Stators

    Elastomer stators for progressing cavity pumps.

  • 05

    Pump liners

    Casing liners and bushings that define internal clearances.

  • 06

    Bearings

    Rolling and sleeve bearings with the matching retaining parts.

  • 07

    Gaskets

    Flange, cover and casing gaskets in application-suited materials.

About

About VELLKEN

VELLKEN combines practical industrial pump expertise with access to European and international sourcing channels.

We focus on technically suitable and commercially sensible solutions rather than pushing a single manufacturer.

  • Technical first

    Selection starts from the duty point, the fluid and the installation.

  • Independent

    We are not tied to one manufacturer, so the recommendation can follow the application.

  • Practical

    Lead time, spare part availability and serviceability are part of the decision.

Need a replacement pump?

Send us the model.

Send us the nameplate.

Or simply tell us what the pump needs to do.

Final pump selection is always confirmed technically before an order is released.
