Ciserv AB of Gothenburg, a member of the Wärtsilä group, has signed a cooperation agreement with the Swedish pump manufacturer IMO AB in September 2005 to serve the users of IMO pumps. This is the first co-operation agreement signed by a Ciserv company with IMO, and similar agreements will be signed by other Ciserv companies in other countries world-wide.
This cooperation agreement makes an important addition to the range of products and services offered by Ciserv and will improve the component availability for the customers. Ciserv will work as IMO’s extended arm to supply also services for upgradings of existing installations in a wide range of applications. The agreement is designed to increase the availability of IMO pumps to their users.
IMO believes that Ciserv’s expertise and strong customer base will be an asset for IMO and that this agreement will strengthen IMO AB. For example, Ciserv’s trained engineers are continually performing servicing work on other types of equipment where IMO pumps are already employed or could be retrofitted in a wide range of applications, including pulp and paper, tooling machinery, power generation, offshore industries and marine.
IMO AB, a member of the Colfax Pump Group, manufactures high-quality screw pumps suitable for pumping all non-corrosive fluids with lubricating properties. The pumps are of the triple-spindle type, with the basic components of three rotors, one of which is powered and two are symmetrically-opposed idlers. The three rotors seal against each other to form a series of chambers which provide the pumping action, moving the trapped fluid axially from the inlet to the discharge. IMO pumps are used in applications such as oil transfer, fuel handling and lubrication & hydraulic system.
Ciserv is a fast growing global network of companies delivering a wide range of cost-effective support services for marine and industrial applications. The services support both two-stroke and four-stroke engines, together with a variety of equipment including propulsion systems, ancillary equipment, boilers, control and automation equipment, and general steelwork. The overall scope of Ciserv’s business covers all aspects of servicing a ship, from engine maintenance to steel repair works.
