Abstract

Shrimp is a product of high commercial value in the international market and its production shows a remarkable growth. The main support of its culture medium is water. Water of good quality leads to good growth, survival and good production of shrimp. To make this happen, the items, which play a fundamental role, are water pumps. An unexpected failure in this equipment can affect or even significantly compromise the production. In the present work the causes of electrical and mechanical failures and deficiencies in the maintenance occurred in the axial pumps, belonging to the Enterprise for the Cultivation of Shrimps were investigated. Maintenance engineering processes was carried out, a SWOT matrix was applied and important economic aspects were analyzed. Finally, recommendations were made to reduce the failures and improve economic aspects; obtaining some benefits already.
