Cognito Empowers a Leading Indonesian Manufacturer With Efficient, Leak-Free Resin Transfer

Our customer, a leading Indonesian manufacturer of high-quality decorative paints and coatings, faced persistent challenges in resin transfer operations. Resin, with a viscosity of above 1000 cP, requires stable, leak-free pumping to ensure consistent production quality.

 
As a critical part of the process, the resin transfer pump must operate reliably to prevent contamination, downtime, and safety risks in paint manufacturing. However, existing equipment struggled to meet these demands.

Discovering the Customer's Need 

The customer relied on gear pumps, an industrial pump technology prone to  higher energy consumption in demanding applications. These caused:

  • High transfer time for viscous liquids
  • High energy costs and unplanned downtime
  • Absence of safety provisions, creating operational risks

The customer required a modern industrial pump solution that could deliver:

  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Lower energy consumption
  • A leak-free pump design
  • Reduced MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
  • Enhanced safety features
  • Lower maintenance costs

The Right Solution: Cognito's EODD Pump

Cognito’s EODD pump solution delivered a measurable and transformative impact:

  • Energy savings of more than 70% compared to AODD pumps
  • Significantly lower noise levels, improving operator comfort
  • Enhanced safety features for secure operation
  • Robust diaphragm design supporting long-term, stable performance 
  • Reduced downtime due to fewer spare part replacements and maintenance interventions

Customer Experience & Results

Switching from gear pumps to Cognito’s diaphragm pump technology delivered significant reliability and efficiency gains.  The customer reported:

  • Leak-free operation with zero contamination
  • Substantial reduction in maintenance expenses
  • Improved workplace safety and reduced downtime
  • Enhanced pump efficiency with observed energy savings

By upgrading to a modern resin transfer pump, the customer significantly improved operational reliability and process consistency.
