The pump users can now choose from 55 sizes with more than 78 hydraulic systems for these standardised chemical pumps.
WD News: KSB SE & Co. KGaA has added 19 sizes to its MegaCPK type series for its users.
The available materials of grey cast iron, nodular cast iron and cast steel, stainless steel as well as duplex and special alloys, such as titanium and Hastelloy, result in a very wide range of applications. Fluids that require heating or cooling can also be handled.
The pumps are characterised primarily by their high output per size and their low energy consumption. It not only saves electricity consumption but also reduces the user’s initial investment costs. The developers have placed emphasis on good suction behaviour with a low NPSH value to minimise the risk of cavitation. This enables smooth and stable pump operation even under difficult operating conditions. It also ensures a high degree of reliability and improves the availability of an entire system.
After optimising all hydraulic contours using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the improvements were verified in extensive test set-ups.
