The workshop has been extended to facilitate even shorter throughput times. There is also a test tank for pumps of up to 22 kW motor power. Tsurumi has a turnover of E22 million in Germany and about E30 million in Europe. The Japanese company has a further storage depot in Antwerp, Belgium. “We are pleased with the opportunities this site offers to us,” said Daniel Weippert, Tsurumi Europe’s managing director. “Not only will our dealers and partners benefit from this, but also our customers, who we instruct here free of charge.” For further information, visit www.tsurumi.eu
Ruhrpumpen opens UK sales, design, assembly and test facility
R
uhrpumpen has established a new sales office, design centre, assembly and pump testing facility for reciprocating plunger pumps in Lancing, UK. The new facility allows Ruhrpumpen to bring the assembly and testing of its reciprocating plunger pumps together with its design team. Ruhrpumpen already has its own foundry and global manufacturing facilities, including a plant in Witten, Germany, that will supply the UK facility, in addition to an established supply chain in Europe that will continue to provide ancillary equipment such as seal systems and motors. The new building in Lancing provides offices and manufacturing space for the expanding team of engineers who are designing Ruhrpumpen’s range of
RDP API 674 3rd edition, ISO 13710 triplex and quintuplex pumps. The assembly facility is laid out on a work-cell principle. A new test rig can handle flows of up to 400m3/hr for testing two packaged systems at any one time. Pumps can be switched in and out quickly and efficiently to save idle test time and increase throughput. The test rig has partial automation with flow and pressure ranges controlled by variable speed drives. The rig also has full capability to carry out testing in accordance with API and Hydraulic Institute standards together with remote testing via video links.
