Welcome to Rinku Engineers, a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialized pressure maintenance solutions. Our range of Jockey Pumps and Fire Fighting Jockey Pumps is engineered to maintain constant pressure in fire protection systems, ensuring immediate readiness in case of an emergency. Designed for high-pressure reliability and precision, our pumps prevent the main fire pumps from unnecessary starts, thereby extending the lifespan of your entire fire suppression network.
Our Specialized Pump Range
Jockey Pump
The standard Jockey Pump is an essential component of any industrial or commercial water system where constant pressure is required. It is built to work automatically via pressure switches, starting when pressure falls slightly and stopping once the desired limit is reached.
Fire Fighting Jockey Pump
Specifically engineered for fire protection services, the Fire Fighting Jockey Pump is built to meet stringent safety standards. These pumps are designed for high-head performance to match the requirements of multi-story buildings and large industrial complexes.
Industries We Serve
Our jockey pump range provides critical safety support for:
-
Commercial Infrastructure: Maintaining pressure in high-rise office buildings, malls, and hotels.
-
Industrial Plants: Protecting manufacturing facilities and warehouses from fire hazards.
-
Residential Complexes: Ensuring 24/7 readiness of fire sprinkler systems in townships.
-
Oil & Gas Refineries: Specialized high-pressure protection for hazardous zones.
-
Public Utilities: Safety systems for airports, railway stations, and hospitals.
Precision Pressure Maintenance for Fire Safety Systems
Maintaining the integrity of a fire hydrant or sprinkler system requires a dedicated pump that can handle minor pressure fluctuations. As a premier manufacturer and supplier, we address these critical safety requirements:
-
Problem: Frequent and unnecessary starting of large main fire pumps due to minor leaks.
-
Solution: Our Jockey Pump is designed to compensate for small pressure drops in the pipeline, maintaining the system at the required set point without activating the heavy-duty main pumps.
-
-
Problem: Pressure loss in fire fighting lines leading to delayed response times.
-
Solution: The Fire Fighting Jockey Pump ensures that the fire hydrant network is always pressurized and “ready-to-act,” providing instantaneous water flow the moment a valve or sprinkler is opened.
-
-
Problem: High energy consumption from oversized pumps handling small pressure leaks.
-
Solution: Our precision-engineered jockey units use optimized motors to handle low-flow, high-pressure tasks with minimal power intake, reducing operational costs.
-

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of a Jockey Pump in a fire system?
A Jockey Pump is designed to maintain the pressure in a fire protection system to prevent the larger, main fire pump from starting for minor pressure drops caused by small leaks or temperature changes.
Does a Jockey Pump need to run continuously?
No. It is controlled by a pressure switch. The pump only starts when the system pressure drops below a specific level and stops once it reaches the upper set point.
Can a Jockey Pump be used to fight a fire?
No. A Fire Fighting Jockey Pump is a low-flow pump intended only for pressure maintenance. Once a significant amount of water is used (like a fire hose being opened), the pressure will drop rapidly, and the main fire pump will take over.
Is it better to use a vertical or horizontal Jockey Pump?
Vertical pumps are often preferred because they have a smaller footprint and are ideal for the space-constrained environments typically found in fire pump rooms.
