French pumps restored after 175.000 running hours

Two French pumps from fish farming have been restored after 20 years of uninterrupted pump work


They pump and pump and pump.

For more than 20 years, two Lykkegaard pumps have worked continuously on a French fish farm.

Every day, 24 hours a day.

This corresponds to 175,000 hours og work - continuously.


Now they have been back to the workshop for the first time and got a new axle and new propellers. The rest of the pumps have been checked, inspected and examined - and put back on the pump.

So now the pumps are ready to be shipped back to France and pump water to the fish again.


A little curiosity: If a car managed to drive continuously for 175,000 hours and we just count on an average speed of 50 km/h, then it would have driven 8 billion km.

There are probably no cars that can do that anyway - not even Mercedes
