Grundfos Launches SP18 pump across IMEA
The SP18 can perform consistently under high demand ensuring low long-term costs and high operating reliability due to the optimised hydraulics design, the firm said
Grundfos has announced the availability of its SP18 submersible pump in India, Middle East, Africa and Central Asia (IMEA). Following its launch in Kenya, Ghana and the United Arab Emirates earlier this year, the SP18 pump is said to be able to deliver consistent performance during periods of high demand, ensuring low long-term costs and high operating reliability due to the optimised hydraulics design.
The SP18, one out of the four models in the Grundfos SP 6” pump range, is engineered to address two operational challenges in the region faced by farmers and water authorities: high energy consumption and frequent pump failures leading to downtime. With its superior efficiency and robust design, the SP18 promises to enhance operational continuity and sustainability for water management systems. The pumps are suitable for a variety of applications, including groundwater supply to waterworks, irrigation, groundwater lowering, mining and fountains, the firm said in a statement.
This new model boasts state-of-the-art 6″ hydraulics combined with a recently launched permanent magnet motor, which together can reduce energy consumption by at least 15% and potentially up to 30% compared to its predecessor, operated with a conventional induction motor. This significant reduction not only lowers the total cost of ownership but also contributes to decreasing carbon emissions by the same margin, it added.
