Impeller Balancing in Houston
Vi-TECH balances pump and fan impellers on Schenck machines to API 610 or the ISO grade you specify. Trim, bore and keyway work happens in the same shop on the same purchase order, so the impeller ships once and comes back finished.

- Single-suction and double-suction impellers

Impeller balancing questions
Can you trim an impeller and balance it on the same order?
Yes. Trim, bore, keyway and balance run as one production flow on one purchase order, so the impeller does not travel between two vendors.
What balance grade do you use for pump impellers?
The grade on your purchase order, such as API 610 (4W/N) or an ISO 21940-11 G grade. The test certificate records the tolerance met.
What do you need for a quote?
Impeller diameter, weight, bore size, the trim diameter if any, the balance spec, quantity and your required date. Photos or a drawing help.
How fast can you return an impeller?
Expedited jobs ship within one week. For a breakdown, call 281-991-6200 at any hour.
