Centrifugal pumps
Mather and Platt manufactured a range of centrifugal, mixed- and axial-flow pumps for the water, sewage, oil and chemical industries.
An important part of the pump
business was pump
installation and commissioning. This could be done by the company or by the customer's own fitters
and engineers. A range of publications was produced that explained how to install, commission, start
and maintain the wide variety of M&P pumps and pump-sets.
The export of pumps and motors
was a major part of the rotating machines business. The painted cast brass pump nameplate shown
here is testimony to the business in Russia. It's interesting to note that many export
nameplates were made of brass, even if they were going to be overpainted, while those for equipment
destined for the UK market were of aluminium.
Another brass plate is shown here: this time using
an earlier version of the Mather and Platt logo and varnished brass. This plate was for the
Spanish market.
