Relevant Ruhrpumpen´s Fire Projects from October 2024

The VTP pump line is specifically designed for operation in wells or sumps. Its bowl assembly features a suction case or bell, one or more pump bowls, and a discharge case. This assembly is positioned at an appropriate depth in the sump or well to ensure proper submergence. These vertical turbine pumps, available in both single and multi-stage configurations, are ideal for firefighting applications. They are UL listed and FM approved for suction lift conditions and can be powered by either diesel or electric drive.
