In the past, Interpump Group literally revolutionized the plunger pump market, designing and building pumps that were more compact, easier to handle, quieter and and structured so as to faciliate the replacement of the wear parts. Another qualifying element of the innovation was the adoption of ceramic plungers, which remarkably extended the life of the seals as compared to the steel plungers that were used previously. Thanks to all these innovations, Interpump Group has created de facto a new reference standard, becoming worldwide leader in this sector.
Nowadays the production range of the Companies within the Group encompasses a wide number of models with working pressure from 50 to 4000 bar (700 to 58000 psi) and power requirement from a few kW to 750 kW.
High pressure pumps are used in high pressure cleaners, car wash systems, forced lubrication of tooling machines, water desalination with reverse osmosis and many other applications.
Ultra high pressure pumps and systems are used for cleaning surfaces, ships, pipes, but also for deburring, cutting and removal of concrete, asphalt and paint from stone, cement or metal surfaces and for cutting solid materials.
The plunger pumps of Interpump Group are sold worldwide: in this sector over 50% of the Group’s turnover comes from exports outside the European Union.
The high pressure pump sector is the one from which the entire Group originated. In accordance with its overall philosophy, Interpump introduced a radical innovation in this field that has since become the new benchmark and has made it the worldwide leader in the high pressure pump market. The pumps designed and built by Interpump are more compact, manageable and silent, configured to facilitate the replacement of spare parts.
But the truly unique and revolutionary Interpump breakthrough was the use of ceramic pistons which, compared to those in steel, have increased pump life and reliability. Today, the full product range includes high pressure pumps (up to 500 bar) manufactured by Interpump and ultra-high pressure pumps (up to 1500 bar) made by the Pratissoli Pompe division.
All pump components are constructed of the highest quality materials that are systematically checked and tested at every production stage. Assembly is performed with maximum precision so that the finished product will withstand the heavy wear-and-tear of industrial usage.
The ultra-high pressure sector began within the Group from the experience of Pratissoli Pompe, nowadays among the worldwide market leaders for its comprehensive range of pumps and accessories supplied in any industry: iron and steel, chemical and petrochemical, building, water treatment, just to mention a few. The range of triplex pumps, developed in more than 50 years of activity in the field, counts over 60 different models including flow rates up to 420 liters per minute, pressures up to 1500 bar, powers up to 150 HP, all models designed and produced to stand the toughest working conditions. The Water Jetting sector has been strengthened by our acquisition of Hammelmann Maschinenfabrik GmbHand NLB CORP.
HAMMELMANN is internationally renowned as worldwide leader in ultra-high pressure fluid pumping technology.
It was founded in 1949 in Oelde, Germany, and became part of the Group in 2005.
