Pump Impeller Balancing Machine

The right balancing machine for your pump impeller components depends on your specific balancing requirements. Your particular application may require single plane or two plane correction, and on or off machine correction, and a manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated balancing process.

The photo on the right show a Hines HO-200, a single station, horizontal overhung balancing machine configured and tooled for balancing pump impellers. This machine is just one example of the many configurations and weight ranges available. Click here for more information about the HO.

Impellers can also be balanced on the Hines Vertical Rotating (HVR) Balancer. See the photo below for a picture of a HVR with automatic belt grinding correction. Click here for more information about the HVR. Call Hines to discuss your tolerances and to request a specification and quote.
