EMS Industries Ltd
About
EMS Industries Ltd, part of the Cullum Group, is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in ram pump technology and grit management equipment for the wastewater treatment and anaerobic digestion sectors. Operating from Stoke-on-Trent with a US office in Glen Allen, Virginia (under the GRS brand), EMS designs and builds customized positive-displacement ram pumps capable of handling high-solids, high-viscosity materials including sludge exceeding 10 percent dry solids concentration, food waste streams contaminated with glass, metal, and batteries, and abrasive grit slurries. The ram pump range includes the VRM (Vertical Ram Mechanical) for digester feed and primary settlement tank desludging, the VRH (Vertical Ram Hydraulic) for long-distance sludge transfer and filter press feed, the CVR (Compact Vertical Ram) for installations with limited headroom, and the CVRD (Compact Vertical Ram Duplex) for redundancy-critical operations. All models achieve approximately nine meters of suction lift. For grit management, EMS produces the Hydrake hydraulic grit rake, a grit Classifier for washing and separation, and the Detritor grit separator achieving over 40 percent dry solids removal rates. Equipment is available for outright purchase, trial, or lease, with annual service and maintenance support. The company's website now redirects to innovativepumpingsolutions.com, reflecting an updated brand positioning.
