New Test Ring facility in Tunisia
20/09/2006
Socoopec SARL, the ITT Lowara distributor in Tunisia, has inaugurated the 2nd of August, in presence of ITT R&CW EMEA Sales Director, its new test ring facility.
In 4 years collaboration with ITT Lowara, Socoopec has become the leading pump company in Tunisia. The water department is totally autonomous and their offering goes from the complete study of the irrigation system, the design and selection of the pumping station to the installation and the after sales service.
In compliance to Socoopec’ vision, it was decided a year ago to realize in collaboration with ITT Lowara, a complete test ring facility. This facility will completely fulfil their customer requirements and position Socoopec as the unavoidable pump distributor in the country.
Amongst other features, the test ring is made of 2 independent test lines and allows test up to 60l/s and 400 meters head for both submersible and surface centrifugal pumps. The test pit is 6 m deep and all piping is made in stainless steel. Measurements are made with digital equipment.
This step is of major importance for both Socoopec and ITT Lowara to strengthen and grow their leading position in Tunisia.
Congratulations again to our partner Socoopec.
