Europump, the European Federation of Pump Associations, has highlighted the strong support it receives from industry partners through its sponsorship programme, thanking the companies that support the association’s work throughout the year and its upcoming 2026 Annual Meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, from 27–29 May 2026. The engagement of leading technology suppliers reflects the importance of collaboration across the European pump sector and helps support Europump’s ongoing activities as well as its flagship annual gathering. The Europump Annual Meeting brings together pump manufacturers, suppliers, and industry experts from across Europe to discuss the technological, regulatory, and market developments shaping the sector. The event provides a key forum for knowledge exchange and collaboration across the pump industry value chain. Industry partners supporting Europump This year’s meeting is supported by a group of sponsors representing different parts of the pump industry ecosystem. Europump has expressed its appreciation to the following companies for their commitment and engagement: - Gold Sponsor – Innomotics - Silver Sponsor – WEG - Bronze Sponsor – IFM Their support reflects the growing importance of collaboration between pump manufacturers and technology providers in addressing key industry challenges including energy efficiency, digitalisation, and sustainability. Ralph Burgstahler, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Innomotics GmbH, said: “Deepening our commitment to Europump through this year's gold sponsorship is a conscious sign of our close ties to the European pump industry. Europump offers us a unique platform to further intensify dialogue with manufacturers, users, and associations and to work together on more efficient and powerful pump solutions for the future. This proximity to the industry is essential for Innomotics in order to actively shape technological developments and strengthen the competitiveness of the industry in the long term.” Martin Brand, WEG Engineering Director for Drives & Controls, commented: “By partnering with pump customers, WEG fulfils its vision of being a global reference in electrification and automation—because when the world asks for reliability, WEG delivers.” IFM emphasised the importance of strong industry partnerships in driving innovation and competitiveness. Mohamed Al Kadari, Vice President, Industrial IIoT at IFM, said: “It is important for IFM to support Europump as a sponsor because strong industry associations create stronger industries. Europump plays a vital role in uniting manufacturers, advancing technical standards, and shaping the future of the pump sector.” Europump President Alexandre Lacour welcomed the continued engagement of industry partners: “We are excited to invite suppliers to contribute with knowledge and support to our association - both our flagship event, as well as throughout the year. We have built a sponsorship program to create a structured way to exchange with other supply chain members. The aim is to strengthen cooperation in order to join forces to push innovation and performance in our fast-changing sector.” Europump represents the European pump industry at EU level and supports collaboration across national associations. The organisation works on key industry priorities including energy efficiency, ecodesign, sustainability, technical standards, and digitalisation, helping to strengthen the competitiveness and innovation capacity of Europe’s pump manufacturing sector.

With the recently introduced Motor Mounted Line, Innomotics combines highly efficient permanent magnet motors with a mounted frequency converter. The compact system is suitable for applications such as pumps, fans, or compressors. The permanent magnet motor features a particularly high power density. Compared to asynchronous motors, a smaller frame size can be chosen for the same power output. Additionally, high torques are available even at low speeds, which supports operation under variable load conditions. The direct combination with the frequency converter allows for versatile design options when installing the compact overall system. Another significant advantage is its energy efficiency. The motor achieves efficiency class IE5 according to IEC/TS 60034-30-2, while the converter is rated IE2 according to EN 61800-9-2. Together, this results in a system efficiency class of IES5. This significantly reduces energy consumption during operation and lessens the load on the power grid infrastructure. With "Evaluate", Innomotics offers an online tool that allows plant operators to calculate potential CO2 reduction, energy savings, and amortization periods. The Motor Mounted Line is available in frame sizes 71, 90, and 132 mm and covers a power range from 0.37 to 22 kW. The nominal speeds are 1500 and 3000 rpm. The housing is made of aluminum, with a standard IP rating of IP55. For systems up to 7.5 kW, the converter is passively cooled, with an IP rating of IP65. Integration into automation environments is ensured through support for common fieldbus systems. Modbus RTU is available as standard, with options to add CANopen, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet-based interfaces. Furthermore, there are various equipment options such as a potentiometer, membrane keypad, or MMI displays for operation, as well as different connection solutions. The system is pre-configured by Innomotics and can be commissioned without complex parameterization. With the free Innomotics MD Connect PC Tool, parameterization, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the converter can be performed. Retrofitting existing line-powered motors is straightforward. For operators, this means simplified installation and commissioning. www.innomotics.com

  SH 132 At this year's Hannover Messe in Germany, Innomotics – the new home of electric motors and large drives from Siemens – will be represented for the first time as an independent company with its own booth – and is presenting its new "SH71" and "SH132" permanent magnet low voltage motors. The highly efficient permanent magnet motors represent an advancement in the field of low voltage motors. While producing the same output, they are up to three frame sizes smaller and up to 43 percent lighter than conventional motors, thus saving space. This makes them ideal for use in conjunction with pumps and for  many other applications. Thanks to their significantly reduced energy consumption and reduced CO2 footprint, they meet the requirements for energy efficiency class IE5 (Ultra Premium Efficiency). www.innomotics.com Read the full article
