KB
Series Submersible pumps feature…
- Abrasive resistant chrome iron components;
- Agitator - to fluidize
settled solids into suspension.
- Wear plate - replaceable
hardened surface on the suction side where
erosion would cause a loss of pump performance.
- Semi- open Impeller - to
handle some solids.
- EVERY KB pump model is protected by;
- Class H motor insulation - and
built in amperage ( FLA ) and temperature
overload protection.
- Double mechanical seals – SiC/SiC
lower & Carbon Ceramic upper in a
separate oil filled seal chamber.
- Heavy Duty Lip Seal – additional
protection for the mechanical seals.
- Stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve
– saves on shaft wear due to
abrasives and corrosion.
- The KB Series are top discharge pumps;
- KB pumps are utility pumps; frequently dragged
from one site to another. The KB doesn’t have
a side discharge connection that can break off
or be damaged as it is pulled and pushed into
place.
- Top discharge pumps are cooled by
pumped liquid - The KB pumps can pump a
sump or pit down to within "inches" of
the bottom. A side discharge pump without a
cooling jacket must stay submerged to avoid
overheating, leaving as much as 3 feet of
un-pumped slurry.
- Top discharge means "SLIM" -
even the largest model with a 13.5 inch
"waistline" will fit down a manhole
with a hose attached.
