These pumps are used worldwide in waste water treatment plants, waste recycling, refining and in the chemical industry. We are sure that these products will play a key role in cleaning and discarding of sludge and waste in many industries. The IFAT exhibition is indeed a great platform for the introduction and launch of these products in the Indian market.”

VG Sakthikumar, Managing Director, Schwing Stetter Sales and Services, says, “At Schwing Stetter, we have always paid attention to environmental issues. Sludge transportation is the most challenging pumping application in a wastewater treatment plant and Schwing Stetter has gained extensive experience through decades of involvement in this area. It gives us great pleasure to have launched the first ever high capacity, high volume sludge pumps and muck pumps in India.”

Schwing Stetter India was a part of IFAT Expo 2017, a trade fair for water, sewage, reuse and recycling, where the company launched its new range of sludge pumps and muck pumps back in IFAT 2015. The pumps provide turnkey solutions for transport and storage of sludge as well as materials with high solid content. The market for sustainable technologies in water as well as waste water treatment is driven by new opportunities arising due to the global economic meltdown. Sludge pumps are also highly useful to the mineral, petrochemical, food processing and thermal power industries. This product is beneficial as drainage water can be filtered into a sludge that is converted to bio organisers – fit for direct consumption.
