In 1893, cousins Friedrich Krumm and Gustav Magenwirth founded a pair of small companies: first, the “Krumm & Magenwirth Mechanische Werkstätte” and finally the company “Krumm & Magenwirth OHG zum Betrieb einer Maschinenwerkstätte” in Germany. At the time, they could not have known this would be the genesis of the modern machinery industry in Bad Urach. From these humble beginnings, the companies Magura and Uraca emerged.
The Krumm & Magenwirth Maschinen-Werkstätte developed their own 3.5 HP horizontal gasoline engine to drive their machine tools. This piston engine laid the foundation for generations of plunger pumps.

Sulzer acquired Brithinee Electric, an independent electromechanical service provider in Southern California, USA. Last year, Brithinee recorded annual sales of about USD 10 million with a workforce of 46 employees. Through this acquisition, Sulzer expands its electromechanical services business into Southern California and gains access to the Californian water, wind and cement markets with established offerings and customers.
Tomlinson Hall delivered 13 pumps that have since been installed in a food manufacturers latest state of the art facilities located in Teesside, which have only recently opened due to unprecedented demand for its products across the globe. Supplying a range of ITT Goulds Pumps in different sizes, these have been located in various parts of the plant. They will be used for several applications including recirculating water in the plant and pumping food produce.
Sulzer will be joining other leading high-tech companies for the Swiss Digital Economy Awards which will be held on November 21 in Zurich. Its Blue Box solution, which uses existing pump data to deliver near-real-time analysis of pump performance and reliability, has been shortlisted for an award in the Highest Digital Quality category.
In this “Centrifugal Pump Minute” video, James Farley, Griswold Product Manager, discusses total dynamic head, and its importance when assessing a pumps performance in the field. Using the Griswold test lab, James shows the difference in measuring discharge pressure versus measuring differential pressure.
Liquid pumps made by KNF were on board an HTV-7 unmanned cargo spacecraft launched from Japan on September 23, 2018, destined for the International Space Station (ISS). These space-worthy liquid pumps are part of a new Life Support Rack for the ISS. Also known as an Advanced Closed Loop System (ACLS), the rack purifies air and produces oxygen for the ISS. It was developed by Airbus Defence and Space for the European Space Agency (ESA). The new ACLS rack will be installed in the ISS’s Destiny module (also known as the US Lab) by ESA astronaut and ISS commander Alexander Gerst on November 2, 2018.
KNF-Engineers worked with Airbus for four years to specify and design the pump, which is based on the proven FEM 1.09 dosing pump. The project was part of Airbus’s COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) program, which uses well-established components to reduce the price tag for space flight.
The B70H is a variation of the B70V by Lutz and is designed for the horizontal use on a trolley. It can be used in situations where the B70V comes across space limits or limits of handling and thus completes the range of eccentric screw pumps with a mobile version.
