Led by our decades of expertise in investment casting, we provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of the pumps and valves industry. From fittings and pump bodies to valve bodies, stems, brackets, and handles, we take steps to ensure our process allows for intricate geometries and that it produces components that meet even the strictest tolerances and specifications.

Parts Made for the Pumps & Valves Industry

The Franklin team has extensive experience and expertise producing investment castings for a variety of parts that play essential roles in the functionality and reliability of pump and valve systems. Here are some of the parts we've made for the pumps and valves industry using our automated investment casting process.

Pump Components
Casings, Impellers, Wear Plates, Glands
Grinder Pump Components
A grinder pump is a wastewater conveyance device that uses a cutting mechanism to macerate waste. Augers, cutter plates, and cutters are all investment cast with highly durable stainless steel to withstand the abrasive environment.
Fittings
Fittings are an essential component used to connect and join various sections of piping or tubing within a pump or valve system. They promote proper alignment and sealing, allowing for the efficient transfer of fluids throughout the system.
Valve Bodies
Valve bodies are the main housing of the valves, containing the primary mechanism that controls the flow of fluids throughout the system. They are designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures while maintaining tight sealing to accurately regulate fluid flow.
Valve Flow Meter
Stems
Stems are elongated shafts or rods that extend from the valve body and are connected to the valve's control mechanism, such as a handle or actuator. Stems are responsible for transmitting the motion or force required to open or close the valve.
Brackets
Brackets are support structures used to secure pumps, valves, or other components in place within the pump or valve system. They provide stability and ensure proper alignment, preventing movement or vibration that could compromise the performance or integrity of the system.
Handles
Handles are control mechanisms attached to stems or actuators that allow operators to manually adjust valve positions. They provide a means for users to open, close, or adjust the flow of fluids throughout the system, making them essential for controlling processes and maintaining system efficiency.
