Why Rebuild?
Remanufacturing delivers the same high performance at a fraction of the cost, all while extending your pump’s lifespan. Failure happens in harsh industrial service. MHV remans match your pump’s core: we measure clearances, machine parts in-house, and ensure proper mating for beyond OEM performance, again and again, for the pump’s life.

Remanufacturing FAQs
Remanufacturing is all we do—never just a repair. Every component is machined to OEM tolerances using original fixturing methods—no shims, no adhesives, no shortcuts. That means your equipment can be remanufactured again and again. Oil-sealed high-vacuum systems are designed to break and be rebuilt—but an MHV remanufacture extends the time between cycles, keeping your equipment running longer and more reliably.
Uptime+ remanufactures take about as long as a standard reman. We apply the same strict quality standards to every build, with upgraded parts included. If in-line filtration is added, lead time may extend by a few days. Thanks to our in-house inventory of American-cast hard parts, delays are minimal.
Yes—a one-year warranty, or 18 months after delivery if the equipment isn’t installed right away—and it’s a warranty we stand behind.
Absolutely—the Sentinel System, along with any additional labor and parts, will be included in your quote and installed on the final pump assembly before it's crated and shipped back to you.
