About us
A pump works named after the volute
The volute is the spiral casing around the impeller that turns speed into pressure. We named the company after it, and we still cast it ourselves.
Every pump
runs on our test loop before it ships

Five shops, one works
Who We Are
One works, from the pattern shop to the test loop
VOLUTA designs, casts, machines, assembles and tests centrifugal pumps for water supply, buildings, fire protection, irrigation and process plants.
Keeping every stage together means problems are found and fixed here, before a pump reaches site. It also means the person answering your question can go and look.

How we work
Four rules behind every pump
// 01 //
Sized to the duty
We trim every impeller to the duty point you send, not to the nearest catalogue size.
// 02 //
Proven on test
No pump ships without running against its curve and holding its test pressure.
// 03 //
Built to be serviced
Back-pull-out designs, standard seal dimensions and kits that contain the whole job.
// 04 //
Traceable
One casing number links every record, from the foundry heat to the test certificate.
How a pump is made

Heritage
An old trade, done carefully
Pumping stations once housed beam engines the height of a house. The machines got smaller and faster; casting, machining and proving a pump on test is still the same trade.
Cupola furnace, Foundry Practice, 1909
