Shakti Pumps Showcases Patented S4RM Technology at IFAT Mumbai
Shakti Pumps showed new pumps and motor technology at IFAT Mumbai 2026.
Its S4RM motor is designed to combine features of two types of motors.
The company says it can use less energy than conventional induction motors.
It also says the motor needs less electricity when starting.
S4RM can work without a Variable Frequency Drive in compatible applications.
The company also displayed pump parts made from stainless steel.
These parts are intended to reduce vibration and resist corrosion.
Shakti Pumps says the technology can help farms, water systems and factories pump more efficiently.
Shakti Pumps unveiled its patented S4RM motor technology and pumping equipment at IFAT Mumbai 2026.
The company says S4RM can deliver 5–10% higher runtime efficiency than conventional induction motors.
S4RM reportedly reduces starting current by up to 50% and operates without a Variable Frequency Drive.
Precision SS304 and SS316 components are designed to improve durability, balance, efficiency and corrosion resistance.
Shakti Pumps says optimized pump components can provide up to 40% higher discharge in suitable applications.
