KAMAT’s worldwide distributor network is growing and growing. “Today we are pleased to announce the official launch of our new sales and service partner PUMP SOLVE in South Africa,” says Managing Director Dr. Ing. Andreas Wahl, who firmly believes that PUMP SOLVE is ideally suited to advance KAMAT’s high-pressure solutions in the South African sector of chemical injection in oil and gas, petrochemicals and refineries, among others: “We are proud to have PUMP SOLVE on board and look forward to our future cooperation. Our new partner has many years of experience in the execution of turnkey high-pressure projects in the petrochemical and refinery fields of application, i.e. in process technology. The initial approach and first business initiation with PUMP SOLVE was via communication by our common cooperation partner Lewa, a German manufacturer of process pumps that PUMP SOLVE already represents exclusively. PUMP SOLVE is a particularly good fit for us because they offer complete turnkey solutions on site, sort of a one-stop shop, as they say. From now on, we want to conquer new markets together,” says Wahl.

Interview with PUMP SOLVE
KAMAT: How did our cooperation start? What was your first impression?
PUMP SOLVE: Pump Solve is a fairly new and upcoming business, only established 1st of July 2018, with a team having more than 27 years of experience in metered and relative high pressure applications, up to 500 bar. The Company started with its Primary Brand, Lewa, by being the sole representative for southern Africa and its mission, “To provide a high quality, competent supply and turnkey service to the Southern African industry, with the view to become the pump company of choice, by providing service excellence.” Due to the similarities between KAMAT and Lewa in terms of plunger pump design and high-pressure applications a joint venture was formed between KAMAT and Lewa in the past to collaborate on robust drive unit designs for both their pumps. This lead to KAMAT being a known and preferred brand regarding high pressure pump in general communication with Lewa. From this history it was clear that KAMAT should be part of Pump Solve’s services and products. The Managing Director of Pump Solve was intrigued with the high pressure cleaning capabilities of KAMAT and saw potential for KAMAT in our industry and local market. Together with the extensive product range and family structure of the KAMAT business, Pump Solve is fortunate and thankful to be a representative for KAMAT.
KAMAT: Who is Pump Solve?

With these fine brands our products offered by Pump Solve has evolved and been honed within one of the most demanding of industrial processes namely the Petrochemical and Refinery Industries. Traditionally these heavy industrial processes have demanded pumps for chemical dosing applications requiring highly accurate dosing flow rates, extreme delivery pressures, material compatibility for very corrosive and hazardous chemicals, ATEX and API 674, 675, 685 certification for installation in Hazardous Areas and last but not least extreme robustness ensuring continuous and reliable 24/7 – 365 operation.

KAMAT: What is the success concept of your company?
PUMP SOLVE: To be a complete turn-key solution for a client, a one stop shop. We specialize in the import of custom build pump for high pressure and metered applications however, we have the capabilities, experience and professional team to provide a complete solution for the client. As the applications we deal with on a day-to-day bases become more and more specialized, we offer the client a turn-key solution that is manufactured and tested off-site. This concept provides the added advantage of reduced down time for installation, more accurate design, lower integration time with multiple service providers and last but not least it allows for minimal input from the client in terms of installation and commissioning.
KAMAT: What makes our partnership a perfect match?
PUMP SOLVE: Pump Solve with its team has more than 27 years of experience in relative high-pressure applications. As we specialize in the metering of hazardous chemical injection field we know the danger and risk involved. With high-pressure applications from KAMAT it falls under the same field of dangerous applications and calls for an experience team to deal with the best solution possible. Together with this KAMAT pumps fall under the same industry as that of Pump Solve with applications in the mining, refinery and food industries.
