ISO Water Centrifugal Pump

KCP Series Water Pump

  • Horizontal Single Stage
  • PP / PE / UHMW-PE
  • Up to 300 m³/h
  • DN 25 – DN 250

The KCP series is a horizontal single stage water pump with a back pull out construction. The wetted parts are thermoplastic — PP, PE or UHMW-PE — and the pump handles a solid content of approximately 10 per cent.

It is offered with a closed or a semi-open impeller and mounted either on a welded base frame or on a cast iron base plate. Bearings are grease lubricated and the shaft seal is a single type.

Key Benefits

Thermoplastic Wetted Parts

PP, PE and UHMW-PE are available where a plastic wetted part is preferred over metal.

Handles Light Solids

A solid content limit value of approximately 10 per cent.

Closed or Semi Open Impeller

The impeller is selected to suit the liquid rather than fixed by the frame.

Back Pull Out Construction

The rotating assembly is withdrawn without disturbing the casing or the pipework.

Grease Lubricated Bearings

No oil system, no oil level to check and no oil to change.

Two Base Options

A welded base frame or a cast iron base plate depending on the installation.

Application Scenarios

Water Transfer With Light Solids

Duty where the liquid carries around 10 per cent solids.

Plant Duty up to 80°C

Continuous operation with a liquid temperature up to 80°C.

Who It Is For

  • Plants that prefer a thermoplastic wetted part over cast iron or stainless steel
  • Duties carrying a light solid load of around 10 per cent
  • Installations where a large discharge nozzle up to DN 250 is required
  • Sites that want grease lubricated bearings and no oil system to maintain

Problems It Solves

ProblemHow the KCP Series Answers It
A Metal Wetted Part Is Not WantedPP, PE and UHMW-PE are offered as the wetted materials.
The Liquid Carries SolidsThe series is rated for a solid content of approximately 10 per cent.
A Large Discharge Is NeededThe discharge nozzle goes up to DN 250 with a drive rating up to 200 kW.
Oil Lubrication Adds MaintenanceBearings are grease lubricated.

Materials

PP

Polypropylene, the standard thermoplastic wetted material.

PE

Polyethylene.

UHMW-PE

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, the most wear resistant of the three.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

Casings and impellers are machined in house, staged through the parts store and assembled into complete sets. Finished pumps are coupled up on the test bench with the suction and discharge lines connected before they are packed.

Casting

Casings and impellers in the specified material.

Machining

Machining bays under overhead travelling cranes.

Staging

Machined parts and hardware held ready for assembly.

Assembly

Rotating element, casing, coupling and motor on the baseplate.

Test

The set is run on the test bench before packing.

Use Guide

Confirm the Duty Point

Flow, head, liquid, temperature and supply frequency decide the size. Give the normal duty and the maximum duty if they differ.

Match the Material to the Liquid

The wetted material is chosen for the liquid, not for the pump. Check the materials listed above against what you are pumping.

Plan the Installation

See the installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance notes in the service section before the pump arrives on site.
