Grundfos Pumps
Corp.’s new rollingMobile
Education Centerdisplay is coming to a city near you. The “Pumps On Tour”
exhibit began its nationwide expedition this fall and already has been the
focus of many hands-on educational events typically hosted at wholesaler and
manufacturer’s rep locations.
The
trade-show-on-wheels occupies an entire 18-wheel Peterbilt truck and trailer with
bold graphics outside. Inside is a classroom for hands-on training and a
complete theater room for 40 or more visitors.
“The
wheels won’t stop spinning for several months, and even then only for a short
while,” announcedSteve Goble, Grundfos marketing director. “The
truck and trailer were built to be seen and experienced. The MEC is more than a
mobile display, it’s a hands-on laboratory and demo tool like nothing else in
the industry today.”
The MEC
made a stop in Pennsylvania recently when Grundfos held agrand openingof its enlarged
training and fabrication facility in Allentown, Pa. During the day,
manufacturer reps, OEM partners, commercial engineering, contractor and
wholesale distributor visitors toured through and experienced a wide variety of
working pump displays.
“We
outfitted the MEC chiefly to demonstrate the capabilities of new products
serving the commercial and industrial markets,” saidEd Smiley,
Grundfos market development manager.
The display includes the
company’s new, expanded-range variable frequency drive systems, the
variable-speed Magna pump for commercial hydronics, and the expanded CR line
capable of pumping 800-1,000 gallons a minute. It also demonstrates the performance
of Grundfos’ new sanitary pump lines for the food, beverage, biofuel and
pharmaceutical industries with designs that exceed FDA triple-A requirements,
and even the more stringent European standard, EHEGE.
“It’s
all right here on the bed of this well-designed trailer,” saidDennis
Wierzbicki, Grundfos president. “And we’re taking to it locations
across the country. You might say we’re pretty pumped up about it.”
The trailer will run through Texas and New Mexico this winter. To learn
