Sump Pumps
Sump Pumps are volute case type bowl pumps with vertical immersion and
with a semi open or enclosed impeller designed for wet pit applications. They
are designed to provide dependable, economical drainage service on medium
capacity installations in commercial buildings and general industrial
applications.
Ruhrpumpen manufactures sump pumps for clean water applications (VSP),
sump pumps for water with solids (VSP Non-Clog) and sump pumps for
chemicals and petrochemicals (VSP Chem).

VSP and VSP NON-CLOG
Sump Pumps for Clean Water and Water with Solids
The VSP is a sump pump with a semi open impeller, designed for clean water, and the VSP Non-Clog is a solids handling sump
pump with an enclosed impeller, designed to handle water with solids as big as 4’’ of diameter. Standard construction for both
types of pumps is Cast Iron, however API 610 latest edition construction is available upon request.
Ruhrpumpen has 28 different sizes of Clean Water Sump Pumps, and 18 sizes of Solid Handling Sump Pumps, but with the
engineering experience from Ruhrpumpen, any other size and material can be manufactured according to your necessities.

Optional Features
Ruhrpumpen offers you a wide range of features to meet your specific requirements. Please contact us to help you choose the
best feature for your pump application.
Steam Jacket
Some fluids, such as molten sulphur, need to maintain a certain temperature in the pump and
this is possible with the help of a steam jacket. The steam flows through the whole pump
heating the fluid avoiding crystallization or any change in the operational conditions.
-- Pressure of jacket: Up to 14 bar (200 psi)
-- Materials: Available in all principal alloys according to API
-- Vapor-proof construction
-- Self-lubricating system inside the jacket to avoid solidification of the fluid in the bearings
(in case the pump stops).
COLUMN Bearings
Specific applications require specific characteristics and Ruhrpumpen offers a
range of column bearings. Optional fluted rubber with rigid shell, bronze,
carbon and other special alloys are available. Petro-coke cartridge is also
available.
