PORT ARTHUR, Texas (Nov. 10, 2015) – Standard Alloys Inc., a KSB company, has expanded its pump engineering facilities with the opening of a new 15,000-square-foot workshop in Deer Park, Texas. The new plant is strategically located near the Houston ship channel to add further capacity to Standard Alloys already established repair centers located in Vidor and Port Arthur, Texas and Port Allen, Louisiana. The $1 million investment in the Deer Park repair center is equipped with machine tools, lathes, a specialized rotor balancing center rated to 5,000 pounds, 10 and 5 ton cranes and dedicated pump disassembly and assembly areas. Coupled with these resources is the investment in the key elements of the company's core business of reverse engineering with 3D measurement and modeling and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technology. "Standard Alloys offers engineering, manufacture and repair of replacement parts and pumps for the refining, chemical, power, water and other related industries," said managing director Richard Martinez. "Having comprehensive manufacturing facilities located in Southeast Texas that includes a full foundry capable of pouring more than 300 different alloys, means that we can manufacture many core pump components in-house with a very short lead time." "We can make the parts needed for a pump repair whether they require fabrication, casting and or machining. This means that our customers know where their parts are manufactured and are welcome to come witness throughout the process. It's simply a matter of reverse engineering the parts, making a pattern and pouring a casting. Other parts manufacturers are challenged to make that offer. Another key advantage is we can upgrade components and pumps to improve the mean time between repairs, thereby providing customized solutions. And most importantly, we proudly say that our products are made in the USA." Standard Alloys Inc., a KSB Company, offers replacement parts, repair and complete pump assemblies.
