What helps us move fastest

  • The pump make, model and size, and where the part sits in the pump.
  • The drawing number and revision if you have it.
  • The material grade, or "match the original".
  • What failed and how: wear, fracture, seizure.
  • Whether a repair would do, or it must be a new part.
  • The documents you need, so we buy the right material the first time.

Can you make a single wear ring for a breakdown?

Yes. MSE makes single wear rings to drawing for breakdowns as well as batches for service programmes. Phone first, then send the drawing.
