Multistage Vertical Pump

The 60 CKX model pump from Ruhrpumpen (Germany) features 3 stages, 43,000 GPM/460 ft TDH with a 6100 HP/4000 volt/590 RPM 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, and 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.
