Speck Pumps: High Performance Since 1909.

Speck Pumps, also known as Speck Pumpen, are located in Roth, Germany. They were founded in 1909 by Daniel Speck and his five sons. They are an international giant who manufacture a large variety of high-quality pumps, including: heat transfer pumps, liquid ring pumps, centrifugal pumps, boiler feed pumps and submersible side channel pumps.

They also have the status of being an OEM supplier for many applications and have developed a spotless reputation for developing numerous high-quality industry-specific products in the manufacturing sector. We carry their liquid ring vacuum pumps and their centrifugal water pumps, but we are always happy to obtain some of their other varieties of pump for those who need them.

Speck Pumps: High Performance Since 1909.

There are two basic configurations of vacuum pumps: close coupled and long coupled, which are also called “base plate.” Speck Pumpen manufacturers a wide range of pumps in different sizes ranging from 0.12kw-2.2 m3/hr to 45kw-1600m3/hour. Speck Pumpen manufactures most of their pumps in stainless steel, cast iron or brass. They will custom design pumps in any combination of those materials.

Their two-stage pumps can produce up to 33 mbar in vacuum levels with some of their single stage pumps reaching that level. Some of their pumps can transport liquid up to 350 degrees at rates of 100 m3/hr. They also offer differential head capacities in ranges as high as 100 m.

Conventional Speck pumps are built with mechanical seals, but they are also available in sealless versions with magnetic drives. Their smaller pumps are usually peripheral vane pumps, operating at low flow while delivering high head capacities. Conventional impeller pumps are usually used for higher volumes, while heat transfer is usually handled by vertical spindle pumps.

Speck Pumpen also offers side channel pumps which have become the pumps of choice for applications requiring high head and as boiler feed pumps.

Grundfos Pumps: Kings of the Hospitality Industry?

At Pump Solutions Australasia, we have provided high quality pumps for a number of hospitality applications in Perth and across Western Australia. One of our major manufacturers for hospitality applications is Grundfos and we are very proud to be their appointed Western Australian distributors.

Who are Grundfos?

Grundfos Pumps Grundfos is a company that was established in Bjerringbro, Denmark in 1945, where their main facility still resides. They operate in 80 countries worldwide and manufacture more than 16 million pumps per year. Grundfos operates an Australian office in Regency Park, South Australia. This is the best of both worlds for us. We get the stability of a respected worldwide manufacturer who has an office in South Australia.

While Grundfos is known mostly for their centrifugal pumps, they provide a full line of solutions for the hospitality industry. They have outfitted operations as small as a bed and breakfast and as large as a major tourist attraction.

How Grundfos Pumps are Used in the Hospitality Industry

Grundfos manufactures pumps that both supply water and process wastewater. Whether it’s a small building or a large, multi-storey hotel, any hospitality operation needs a reliable way of providing water to guests and moving wastewater away from the building. Here are six different applications for Grundfos pumps in a large building.

Air Conditioning

Any air conditioning system requires efficient, reliable water pumps to cool air properly. Grundfos has a long history of providing high-quality pumps to the air conditioning industry that ensure performance and reliability. With integrated controls and frequency converters, Grundfos pumps provide maximum system intelligence, producing low life-cycle costs.

If the pumps in an air conditioning system aren’t perfect, it can detract from every other part of the system, causing breakdowns, downtime and inefficient performance. Grundfos pump systems are designed to provide maximum performance and efficiency while consuming the lowest amount of energy.

Heating

While heating isn’t as crucial as air conditioning, it is essential to provide a comfortable environment for guests 365 days a year. Grundfos speed-controlled pumps are externally controlled, allowing maximum flexibility, low costs and optimum performance. The end result is higher comfort levels and lower energy consumption.

Pressure Boosting

Nothing inconveniences guests faster than low water pressure in a high-priced hotel. It is important that pressure boosting pumps provide consistent, reliable performance. Grundfos provides application-based software for their most advanced booster set, with controls such as soft pressure build-up function and proportional pressure function, which can compensate for friction loss in large pipe grids. The system, Hydro MPC, can be controlled remotely from a personal computer.

The pumps used in the system are the Grundfos EI2, a state of the art pump noted for high efficiency and low noise levels. As soon as the pumps are connected to water and electricity, they are ready to go.

Fire Protection

Top notch fire protection can be the difference between a minor annoyance and a disaster in a large hotel. From the most simple pump-driver systems to highly-individualised systems, Grundfos allows hotels to exceed every world fire standard. Their global experience has enabled them to provide the best in fire protection.

Water Treatment

Grundfos offers a full line of water treatment and dosing pumps for anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, anti-scaling and disinfection. Depending on your location, this can be an essential part of your operation.

Wastewater Treatment

Especially in a large building, efficient removal of wastewater is crucial to meeting sanitation standards. Grundfos is an industry leader in wastewater treatment, with a full range of solutions. Grundfos provides a proprietary software called “AUTOADAPT3,” which puts sewage processing for any facility on autopilot.

Why We Only Import from High Quality Pump Manufacturers

At Pump Solutions Australasia, we import the best pumps from around the world. We have, some would say, “gone to the ends of the earth” to find the highest quality pump manufacturers, no matter where they are located.

A lot of first-timers ask our customer service people why we are so focused on high quality pumps. They ask why we don’t handle cheaper pumps from different manufacturers. There are a few surprising reasons that we would like to share with you. These are the criteria upon which we judge pump manufacturers.

Reputation Within the Industry

We have been providing high quality pumps in Australia since 1990, when we were called “Pumps and Services Australia.” In that time, we have amassed a lot of knowledge about which manufacturers are known for high quality and which ones are known for less-than-stellar quality. Manufacturers who cut corners to cut costs can fool some customers, but they can’t fool the entire industry.

Import from High Quality Pump Manufacturers

Performance and Reliability

These could be separate categories, but they go hand in hand. We only carry pumps that perform at the top of their industry. We want pumps that can do the most work, day in and day out, with the least downtime.

Downtime and pump failure can cost you a lot of money. We like to say thousands of dollars, but an extreme case of pump failure in the wrong place at the wrong time can literally cost millions of dollars. We want you to know that every pump you purchase from Pump Solutions Australasia will give you reliable, consistent performance, day in and day out, with minimal maintenance and no downtime.

Customer Service

We pride ourselves on having the most professional, knowledgeable, motivated customer service staff of any pump importer, supplier or retailer. We have found that the elite manufacturers such as Grundfos Pumps, Tsurumi Pumps or Speck Pumpen (Speck Pumps) share our commitment to providing the utmost in customer service. Together, we provide solutions to all of your industrial pumping needs.
