Industrial pumps that vibrate and make loud noises not only disrupt operations but can also be an early indication of damage to the system. Therefore, it is very important to identify and understand the causes and solutions to these problems to maintain performance and extend the service life of the pump.

What are the main causes?

1. Misalignment, occurs when the pump shaft and motor are not aligned, causing imbalance that triggers excessive vibration.
2. Cavitation, which occurs when the pressure of a liquid falls below its vapor pressure, producing air bubbles that then burst and cause a loud noise.
3. Unbalance in the impeller, which can be caused by dirt, wear, mechanical damage, or manufacturing defects that cause uneven centrifugal force.
4. Bearing failure, due to inadequate lubrication or wear due to age, resulting in high friction and noisy sounds.
5. Loose parts, caused by loose bolts, mounts, or other components, resulting in additional vibration when the pump is operating.
6. Hydraulic issues, caused by turbulent flow, where the pump operates far from the Best Efficiency Point (BEP), or head that is too high/low.

So, what can be done to solve this problem?

1. Regular/periodic alignment checks of the pump using a Dial Indicator Gauge/Taper Gauge to ensure that the pump shaft and motor are aligned.
2. Ensure that the suction head (NPSHa) is sufficient to prevent the pressure from falling below the vapor pressure. Avoid narrowing the flow path on the suction side. Ensure that the pump does not operate outside its design limits.
3. Clean the impeller of debris and deposits on a regular basis. If necessary, replace the impeller if it has suffered physical damage.
4. Replace bearings according to the maintenance schedule, use the appropriate lubricant, and inspect them regularly, as well as monitor temperature and vibration as early indicators of damage.
5. Tighten loose components and inspect the condition of the support structure. Replace worn components before they cause further damage.
6. Ensure the pump operates near the Best Efficiency Point (BEP). Evaluate the piping system to ensure smooth and efficient flow.

Vibration and noise in industrial pumps are generally caused by mechanical factors such as misalignment, cavitation, unbalanced impellers, bearing wear, loose or detached pump components, and hydraulic problems. By implementing routine maintenance, monitoring operational conditions, and applying appropriate technical measures, the risk of damage can be minimized and pump performance can be kept at an optimal level.

Be sure to choose a pump that suits your operational needs. Torishima offers a wide range of industrial pumps for various needs. For more detailed information about our products, visit our website torishima.co.id

Referring to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry’s regulation regarding the management of specific waste (e-waste or electronic waste) in Government Regulation No. 27 of 2020, the government divides this into two categories: reduction and handling. The specific waste or electronic waste reduction program is implemented through several methods: limiting specific waste generation, recycling specific waste, and reusing specific waste. Meanwhile, handling involves sorting, collecting, transporting, processing, and final processing.

Electronic waste or e-waste has the potential to be reused or even resold. With current technological advances, the materials contained in used electronic devices can be recovered. In practice, PT Torishima Guna Indonesia (TGI) has provided drop boxes/e-waste boxes for the collection of used electronic devices, such as cellphones, CDs, batteries, power banks, etc. These used electronic devices will then be recycled by TGI in collaboration with partners.

By implementing this e-waste box, TGI hopes to participate in collaborating in implementing the recycling program by not throwing away electronic waste carelessly but sending it to the trash can or drop box that has been provided.

We are excited to let you know that Torishima Indonesia will be attending Palmex Exhibition this year in Medan – North Sumatera (7-9 Oct 2025)

This year we have upgraded our booth to a bigger space. If you are attending, we’re happy for you to stop by. Our booth number is 142-143-144.

Hoping to see you there!

Wednesday, May 28, 2025, PT Torishima Guna Indonesia (TGI) held a Medical Check Up (MCU) activity which was attended by all employees. It is hoped that through this activity, the performance of TGI’s employees can be improved by starting from a fit and healthy soul.  Employee medical check-up is one of the occupational health and safety (K3) programs carried out to assess the current condition of the employee’s health while determining the employee’s ability to perform a job based on His/Her health condition. Because we believe that good employee health, supported by a safe work environment will have a positive impact on our employee’s wellbeing and productivity.

Take a glimpse of our last event Palmex 2024. It was a pleasure meeting with our customers in person to discuss the opportunity with Torishima Pump Indonesia.

We have participated and are on display at the INDOWATER 2017 Expo.

This is the largest trade show in Indonesia where companies and technologies related to water, waste and renewable energy are introduced. During that period, many professionals from various companies and organizations came to our booth and discussed our pumps. We were a big success at the venue.

As one of marketing program to reduce claim market and well handling of market complain to achieve the best customers satisfaction in technical support, PT Torishima Guna Indonesia (TGI) held annual training program for dealer technician on September & October 2018.

This program offers a mutual benefit relationship between TGI and dealers, which create well trained and qualified dealer technician and to gain time effectiveness and cost efficiency.

Due to high enthusiasm of dealers for this program, TGI planes to make it as annual marketing program beside keeping brotherhood sense between TGI and dealers.

On August 1, 2019, Torishima will celebrate its 100th anniversary.

Torishima was founded in 1919 in Osaka, Japan, with a little more than 30 employees. Now it has expanded its presence to 19 countries with a total of 1,885 employees representing 34 nationalities including Indonesia. What is the key to our longevity? Core values and strong technical expertise are passed down from generation to generation, coupled with the desire and determination to succeed.

At Torishima, the opposite of success is not failure, it does nothing. We do everything for customers. We accept changes in our market, this can be caused by market forces, environmental changes and / or even politics. We review, react, and work hard to find solutions.
Now, we have many colleagues from all over the world.

Different ideas, different perspectives, different values have been created in diverse environments, which we did not have 10 or 15 years ago.
When all Torishima members pursue the best solutions with their respective strengths, innovation becomes possible. It makes the impossible possible.
