Ruhrpumpen, an innovative and efficient pump technology company, has successfully tested the largest vertical pump it has ever manufactured.
The 60 CKX model pump features three stages, 43,000gal/min, 460ft TDH with a 6,100hp, 4,000V, 590r/min motor, and is undoubtedly one of the largest vertical multistage pumps ever built in North and South America.
The customer, North Texas Municipal Water District, witnessed the test, which ran very smoothly due to Ruhrpumpen's extensive experience manufacturing this type of pump as well as centrifugal pumps in general.
Testing was conducted at the Ruhrpumpen test lab in Monterrey, Mexico. Enhancements are planned for the near future to further increase testing capabilities.
