Overview
The Ruffy is what you reach for when the liquid is full of hard, abrasive solids like sand, grit, gravel, that sort of thing. The design is dead simple on purpose: no screening needed because the open vane impeller handles it, no priming because the casing sits below the liquid, and no bearings underwater to wear out and cause headaches.
You can get it in standard mount or flange motor mount. For power, there’s direct coupling at 2.2kW or 3kW, or belt drive at 4kW or 5kW if you need more grunt. The impeller is CNC machined from 4140 steel with a deep open vane design that just eats through whatever you throw at it.
What Sets It Apart
The open vane impeller handles solids without any pre-filtering.
Won’t damage itself if the pit runs empty. Handy for intermittent use.
No bearings below the liquid line. Less maintenance, fewer problems.
2.2–3kW direct coupled, or 4–5kW belt drive for heavier applications.
Common Applications
How Pit Depth Works
Column length is measured from the bottom of the pump casing to the high water level mark just below the top bearing. Measure your pit from bottom to where you want the max level, and pick the closest size. If you’re between two, go longer. You can always run with extra column, but you can’t run short.
Reading the Model Numbers
Ruffy models follow this pattern: [Length Prefix][F for Flange][Outlet Size]
Length: SR = Short (2’6″), BR = Basic (3′), CR = (3’6″), MR = Medium (4′), LR = Long (5′), XLR = Extra Long (6′)
Mount: No suffix = Standard mount, F = Flange motor mount
Outlet: 50 = 2″ (50mm) BSP discharge (all models)
So an LRF50 is a Long (5′ / 1.52m), Flange mount, 2″ outlet.
