William Davis, Maintenance Manager, David Norris, Maintenance Supervisor, David Martin- Maintenance Supervisor, Steve Lester, Plant Manager, Deb Fedoronko, Purchasing Manager and Jim Frasier, Pump Repair Technician at the Rose Hill Division of Valley Proteins have long been a partner with Tencarva Machinery Company working together to solve demanding pumping applications. With a recent expansion of the Rose Hill facility, the throughput of sludge and grease were increased. Many new pumps were installed in very tough applications involving high temperature, abrasiveness, and corrosiveness. Tencarva Machinery Company and the hard working staff of Valley Proteins identified certain pumps that required material or performance upgrades to increase reliability and other pumps that could be commonized to reduce overall inventory and keep the plant running. The plant runs 24 hours a day and Goulds Pumps play an important role in keeping the facility at peak performance.
