Grundfos CME Close-Coupled Multistage End Suction Pumps

Grundfos CME Close-Coupled Multistage Pumps for Pressure Boosting, Water Supply, Industrial Process, and HVAC Systems

Grundfos CME Close-Coupled Pumps are compact horizontal multistage centrifugal pumps designed for applications requiring precise pressure control, efficient operation, and a small installation footprint. Commonly used for pressure boosting, water supply, industrial process water, washing and cleaning, cooling, and HVAC applications, the CME range combines proven CM pump hydraulics with an electronically controlled motor for variable-speed operation.

The Grundfos CME is the variable-speed counterpart to the standard CM pump. Its close-coupled horizontal construction integrates the pump and motor into a compact assembly, while the multistage hydraulic design provides the pressure capability needed for demanding water supply and process applications. This combination makes CME pumps particularly useful for packaged systems, equipment skids, and installations where available space is limited.

A key advantage of Grundfos CME pumps is the integrated frequency-controlled motor. Pump speed can be adjusted according to actual system demand, allowing the CME to maintain parameters such as constant pressure while reducing unnecessary energy consumption during periods of lower demand. This makes the CME well suited for systems with varying flow requirements.

The CME range can also be integrated with sensors and system controls for intelligent pump operation. By combining the pump, motor, variable-speed drive, and control capabilities into one coordinated solution, Grundfos CME pumps provide a flexible platform for commercial and industrial applications requiring compact installation, accurate control, and energy-efficient pressure generation.
