One flush can shut down your pump station.

Rags, wipes, and foreign materials wrap around impellers, interfere with level controls, and cause the kind of failures that send crews out at the worst possible time. And with disposable hygiene products more common than ever, the problem is only getting worse.

Part 2 of our pump station series breaks down exactly how this happens and what you can do about it — from pump selection to wet well design to operator best practices.

FOG in your pump station is not just a nuisance — it coats floats, chokes pump intakes, and quietly reduces system performance until something fails.

We just published Part 1 of a two-part series on combating FOG in submersible pump stations. It covers where grease builds up, the limits of traditional cleanout approaches, and how the FOG Rod works to keep buildup from establishing itself in the first place.

Gear Pump vs. Lobe Pump: Which One Is Right for Your Application?

Both are positive displacement pumps, but the differences matter. 👇

🔹 Gear Pumps — ideal for high-viscosity oils and clean fluids. And there's even a difference within gear pumps: internal gear designs (like Viking Pump) run smoother and handle a wider viscosity range than external gear pumps.

🔹 Lobe Pumps — better for sanitary, shear-sensitive, or high-solids fluids. NETZSCH rotary lobe pumps are a go-to here — non-contact lobes, low shear, and fully CIP/SIP capable.

Knowing the pump type is step one. Knowing which design fits your application is where we come in.

Not sure? Call us — we'll help you spec the right one. 📞 804-798-8844

Today is National Skilled Trades Day — and it's one we celebrate wholeheartedly at Wood Equipment Company.

For over 80 years, our work has been built on the expertise of skilled tradespeople: factory-certified technicians, experienced service professionals, and the dedicated individuals who keep pumps, drives, and industrial systems running across Virginia and Maryland.

This year, we had the privilege of supporting that tradition by hosting Bryson Marshall — a New Kent High School senior in an HVAC program — through our partnership with Bridging Communities. Bryson brought the kind of work ethic, curiosity, and drive that the trades need more of. He spent time working alongside our team and is working toward OSHA 10 and EPA Universal certifications that will serve him throughout his career.
That's what this day is really about: not just celebrating the people already doing the work, but investing in the next generation who will carry it forward.

To every technician, tradesperson, and skilled professional in our network — thank you. What you do matters more than words can say. If you're a skilled professional who takes pride in your craft and wants to be part of a team that's been doing this for over 80 years, we'd love to hear from you!

Our team just leveled up!

We recently completed an in-depth, two-day Cognito EODD pump training — and we went ALL IN. From product deep-dives and application engineering to a full hands-on teardown of a 3" pump, our team now knows Cognito technology inside and out.
Why does this matter to you? Because when you call Wood Equipment, you're getting a team that has done the training, torn down the equipment, and knows exactly how to help you find the right solution and keep it running.

Cognito EODD pumps are built for serious industrial applications:
✅ Electrically operated — no air compressor needed
✅ Quiet operation under 80 dBA
✅ IoT-enabled for smarter monitoring
✅ Integrated leak detection
✅ Built tough for abrasive, demanding environments

Great equipment + a knowledgeable partner = less downtime and better results.
