SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS: 90 Years of Excellence and Innovation
The year 2025 marks a historic moment for SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS, which, just months after welcoming its fourth generation, celebrates the prestigious milestone of 90 years in business.
Founded in 1935, the company reaches this significant anniversary during an extraordinary phase of growth, characterized by the launch of new product lines, the expansion and enhancement of its centrifugal pump range, the opening of its first international branch in Singapore, and the achievement of ISO 14001 certification.
This period of strong innovation perfectly reflects the company’s ability to evolve while staying true to its core values:
- A deep commitment to customer needs, fostering long-lasting relationships based on trust.
- A highly technical approach, providing innovative and customized solutions.
- A strong focus on its people, who are regarded as the company’s most strategic resource.
A New Frontier: The Launch of Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
2025 has marked a turning point in the history of SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS with the launch of the new VS series in early March—the company’s first liquid ring vacuum pump line.
The decision to develop this new product family was driven by the desire to offer customers a comprehensive range of solutions, recognizing how frequently vacuum pumps are used alongside process pumps in various industrial plants.
Expanding the product portfolio has already yielded significant results in 2025, attracting new customers and strengthening relationships with existing ones, with the first orders secured within weeks of the launch.
Meticulous Design and Innovation in a Well-Established Industry
The development of this new product line, initiated in 2024, required an extraordinary effort from SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS. Starting from scratch, the process involved months of intense design work, followed by prototyping and rigorous testing.
Every detail was analyzed, tested, and refined to ensure that the new vacuum pumps met the highest quality standards while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
What makes this entry into a new market segment particularly remarkable is that, despite being classic machines built on well-established principles, the company critically analyzed existing solutions, identifying several areas for improvement. These enhancements were validated through field market research.
The new SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS liquid ring vacuum pumps feature three fundamental innovations, all aimed at ease of installation and maintenance, as well as machine durability and robustness.
- Inspection Port for Quick Replacement of the Distribution Valve
A specially designed inspection port allows for quick and precise replacement of the distribution valve, the component most subject to wear in these machines.
This smart solution enables maintenance to be performed directly from the front of the pump, without removing it from the system, minimizing downtime and intervention costs.
- Patented Axial Impeller Adjustment System
The standout innovation of the VS series is undoubtedly its patent-pending axial impeller adjustment system.
Traditionally, fine-tuning the clearances between the impeller, plate, and casing involves a time-consuming process of removing and repositioning the impeller for each thickness test.
The new system developed by SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS allows for precise axial impeller adjustment using a simple hex key. The adjustment point is integrated into the fixing system, making it easily accessible once the housing and plate are removed.
This ingenious solution eliminates repetitive extraction and repositioning, significantly reducing production and maintenance times while ensuring greater accuracy in setting operational clearances.
- Exclusive Use of Solid Gaskets
SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS has taken a bold step by opting exclusively for solid gaskets, eliminating the use of conventional liquid gaskets.
While liquid gaskets are commonly used and easy to apply, they create major challenges during maintenance.
By choosing solid gaskets, the company ensures greater long-term reliability and simplified maintenance without affecting overall machine costs.
The combination of these distinctive features, along with competitive pricing, embodies the essence of the VS series: a robust, reliable, and easy-to-maintain solution designed around customer needs.
Innovation and Growth: Expanding the Centrifugal Pump Range
Despite the energy dedicated to developing vacuum pumps, the company has continued investing in and advancing its industrial centrifugal pump line.
Between 2024 and 2025, two major expansions were introduced:
- The cast iron version of the existing “Group 1”, which includes the smallest process pump sizes.
- The RB 400-60, the first model of the newly introduced “Group 6”, the largest pump series ever produced by the company, capable of handling flow rates up to 3000 m³/h, further strengthening the company’s competitive and comprehensive product offering.
Conclusion: 90 Years of History, a Future of Strength and Sustainability
2025 is a year of extraordinary significance for SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS, as it celebrates 90 years of history while taking a bold step into the future.
This milestone, along with the launch of the new vacuum pump series, the opening of the Singapore branch, and the ISO 14001 certification, underscores the company’s ability to evolve continuously while remaining true to its core values—driving stable and, above all, sustainable growth.
The 90th anniversary is not just a milestone to be celebrated, but a starting point toward new goals, reaffirming SALVATORE ROBUSCHI PUMPS as a global leader in industrial pumping solutions.
