Notes on pumps and factories

What we see at factories, how equipment works and why it breaks. More on Threads @dm.pilyugin.

A new factory sent a video and I froze. Hundreds of slurry pump impellers laid out on the floor.

Inside, a slurry pump relies on four parts, and all four get eaten.

A single casting at this factory weighs up to 10 tonnes. Not a whole pump — one part.

This is what a slurry pump looks like when laid out in one line.

A pump on an excavator boom. Not photoshopped.
