AKT Delivers Critical DESMI Marine Pump Ahead of Standard Lead Time

OVERVIEW

In marine and industrial operations, equipment downtime can quickly affect productivity, schedules, and operating costs. When a client required an urgent replacement for a DESMI NSL100-215/A02 Vertical Centrifugal Pump, AKT responded with a fast-track sourcing and delivery solution designed to keep operations moving.

Although the standard OEM lead time was approximately 3–4 months, AKT successfully supplied the complete pump within 25 working days. This rapid turnaround helped the client avoid extended downtime and maintain continuity in a critical marine application.

Project Requirement

The client required an urgent replacement pump for a marine operation in Africa, where delays could have resulted in vessel or plant downtime. The key requirement was to source a reliable OEM-grade DESMI pump and deliver it within a significantly shorter timeline than the standard manufacturer lead time.

Equipment Supplied

AKT supplied a DESMI vertical centrifugal pump matching the client’s technical and operational requirements.

Technical Details

• Equipment: Vertical Centrifugal Pump

• Model: NSL100-215/A02

• Type: 672736

• Capacity: 90 m³/h

• Working Pressure: 0.4 MPa / 4.01 bar

• Speed: 2930 RPM
