3. Semi- open Impeller - to handle some solids.
2. EVERY KB pump model is protected by;
1. Class H motor insulation - and built in amperage ( FLA ) and temperature overload protection.
2. Double mechanical seals – SiC/SiC lower & Carbon Ceramic upper in a separate oil filled seal chamber.
3. Heavy Duty Lip Seal – additional protection for the mechanical seals.
4. Stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve – saves on shaft wear due to abrasives and corrosion.
3. The KB Series are top discharge pumps;
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Top discharge means "SLIM" - even the largest model with a 13.5 inch "waistline" will fit down a manhole with a hose attached.
