About Us

To put pumps and valves into service that match the duty they will actually see, documented with test records that give operators evidence rather than reassurance.

Who We Are

About Our Company

MOUVEX manufactures, supplies and services industrial pumps and valves for water, process and heavy duty applications. On the pump side we cover end suction and split case centrifugals, multistage, vertical turbine, submersible, slurry, sanitary and positive displacement types including gear, progressive cavity, diaphragm and peristaltic. On the valve side we supply and build gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check and control valves with pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuation. Our shop machines wear parts, balances impellers, fits and aligns mechanical seals, and performs hydrostatic and seat leakage testing with documented results.

What brings plants around to MOUVEX is selection discipline. A pump that was correct for a system twenty years ago is often running far from its best efficiency point today, because piping, demand and controls have all changed. We measure or calculate the current system curve, confirm available suction head against required net positive suction head, and recommend trimming, replacing or controlling the unit accordingly. The same discipline applies to valves, where body material, trim selection, pressure class and actuator sizing have to match the service rather than simply fitting the flange.

Pumps & Valves - Hero

Services

Every valve we build or rebuild is hydrostatically shell tested and seat leakage tested to recognized acceptance criteria, with certificates issued, because a valve that will not shut off is worse than no valve at all.

Our Process

How We Work

  1. 1

    Define The Service

    We document fluid, temperature, solids, flow range, pressures, suction conditions and control strategy. Most selection mistakes trace back to a duty specification that was never written down properly.

  2. 2

    Select Or Scope The Repair

    For new equipment you receive a selection with curve overlay and material justification. For repairs you receive an inspection report with measured clearances and a written scope before work proceeds.

  3. 3

    Build, Rebuild & Test

    Machining, assembly, balancing and seal fitting are completed to print, followed by hydrostatic, seat leakage or performance testing as applicable, with results recorded and certificates issued.

  4. 4

    Install, Commission & Review

    We install, align, commission against design conditions and record operating data. A follow-up review confirms the unit is running where the selection predicted rather than drifting off curve.

Our Services

What We Do

Pump Selection & Hydraulic Sizing
Step 01

Pump Selection & Hydraulic Sizing

Calculation of the system curve from static head, pipe friction and fitting losses, verification of available net positive suction head against pump requirement, and selection for operation near best efficiency across the real duty range. We flag applications where a variable speed drive or a trimmed impeller solves the problem more cheaply than a new pump.

Mechanical Seal & Packing Service
Step 02

Mechanical Seal & Packing Service

Seal selection by fluid, temperature, pressure and solids content, with face material combinations and the appropriate piping plan for flush, quench or barrier fluid. Failure analysis of returned seals identifies dry running, cavitation, misalignment and flush problems so the next seal does not follow the last one.

Valve Manufacturing & Assembly
Step 03

Valve Manufacturing & Assembly

Assembly and build-to-order supply of gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check and control valves with correct body material, trim, pressure class and end connection for the service. Every valve is hydrostatically shell tested and seat leakage tested to recognized acceptance criteria, and certificates are issued with the delivery.

Request a Quote
Testing, Certification & Documentation
Step 04

Testing, Certification & Documentation

Hydrostatic shell testing, seat leakage testing, pump performance testing against published curves, and material traceability documentation. For regulated and utility customers we assemble the full data package, including test records, material certificates and as-built dimensional information.

Request a Quote
Valve Repair, Reseating & Automation
Step 05

Valve Repair, Reseating & Automation

In-shop and on-site valve repair including lapping and reseating, packing and gasket replacement, trim change-out, and retrofitting of pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators with limit switches and positioners. We size actuators for the real differential pressure rather than the convenient catalog figure.

Request a Quote
Centrifugal Pump Repair & Rebuild
Step 06

Centrifugal Pump Repair & Rebuild

Teardown, wear part replacement, shaft and sleeve inspection, impeller repair or replacement, dynamic balancing, mechanical seal fitting and performance testing against the original curve. Running clearances are restored to print, because open clearances quietly rob efficiency long before the pump makes enough noise to attract attention.

Request a Quote
Positive Displacement Pump Service
Step 07

Positive Displacement Pump Service

Service and supply of gear, lobe, progressive cavity, diaphragm, screw and peristaltic pumps, including rotor and stator replacement, timing adjustment, relief valve setting and elastomer selection for the fluid. Positive displacement units need protection from closed discharge, so we review the relief arrangement as part of every job.

Request a Quote
Field Service & Emergency Response
Step 08

Field Service & Emergency Response

On-site pump removal, installation, alignment and commissioning, valve repair in line where practical, and emergency response for failed critical units. We maintain records of the equipment we service, so when a call comes in at night the configuration and parts history are already on file.

Our Advantages

Why Clients Choose Us

Duty Point Verified, Not Assumed

We calculate or measure the current system curve before recommending a pump, because systems change far more often than the pumps serving them.

Performance Tested Before Shipment

Rebuilt pumps run against the original curve on our test loop, so shortfalls are found in our shop rather than during your commissioning.

Materials Matched To The Fluid

Body, trim and elastomer selection follows the actual service conditions, including solids and temperature, not just the line size on the drawing.

Seal Failures Investigated

Returned seals are examined and the piping plan reviewed. Repeat failures almost always point at flush, suction conditions or alignment rather than the seal itself.

Every Valve Tested And Certified

Hydrostatic shell and seat leakage testing to recognized acceptance criteria, with certificates issued, so shutoff performance is proven rather than claimed.

Clearances Restored To Print

Wear ring and running clearances are measured and brought back to specification, recovering the efficiency that open clearances silently consume.

Every Valve Tested

Shell and seat testing is carried out on every valve with results recorded against the serial number, rather than sampled across a batch.

Duty Point Verified

Selection and rebuild decisions start from the measured system curve, because most pumps run far from their best efficiency point and nobody noticed.

Tested Before Shipping

Rebuilt and new units are performance tested on a calibrated rig with certificates issued, so the pump is proven before it reaches your plant.

Client Feedback

What Clients Say

They measured our system instead of reading the old nameplates. Trimming two impellers cost far less than the new pumps we had budgeted, and the vibration problems disappeared.
H
H. LindemanOperations Engineer, Water Utility Client
The valve certificates arrived with the valves, properly filled out. Our quality auditor had no questions, which has not always been our experience with valve suppliers.
Y
Y. SandovalQuality Manager, Chemical Processing Client
Our seal failures were a flush problem, not a seal problem. They fixed the piping plan and the pumps have run cleanly since.

FAQ

Emergency pump failures affecting production are attended within hours.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

From the real differential pressure across the seat, the required stroke time, available air or power supply, failure position and any safety function. Actuators sized from a convenient catalog assumption are a common cause of valves that stall part way under process conditions.

Possibly, but cavitation and open running clearances produce similar symptoms. Cavitation points at suction conditions and insufficient net positive suction head; worn clearances point at internal recirculation. We measure suction pressure and internal clearances to tell them apart before quoting parts.

Hydrostatic shell testing and seat leakage testing to recognized acceptance criteria, with certificates issued at delivery. For specific industry or utility requirements we can extend the documentation package to include material certificates and dimensional records.

On systems with genuine flow variation and significant friction head, often substantially. On systems dominated by static head with little flow variation, savings can be modest. We assess the system curve and operating profile before recommending it, rather than assuming.

Seals are usually the victim. Dry running, inadequate or fouled flush, cavitation, vibration from operating off curve, and shaft misalignment all destroy seals quickly. We examine the failed faces and review the piping plan, because fitting the same seal again just schedules the next failure.

Often yes, and it can restore both performance and efficiency if the casing is sound. We measure wear ring clearances, shaft condition and impeller profile first. Where the hydraulic selection itself is wrong for the current system, a rebuild would recreate the problem, and we will say so.
