Operating Parameters

K Engineering range of vertical pumps offer widest range of selection depending upon the pumping liquid from Clear Water to varying degress of contamination. Hydraulic design of these pumps are based on most valuable and up to date technologies and experience available in the field. These pumps are designed to operate at 50Hz or 60 Hz, in single or more than one stage according to Head required.

These pumps consisting of Bowl Assembly, Column Pipe Assembly, Bearing Housing Assembly along with N.R. R. (Non-Reverse Ratchet) Assembly & Motor Stool / Driving Unit Assembly. Bowl Assembly consists of suction bell, impellers, bowls, and pump shaft.

Suction Bell designed for smooth & steady entrance of liquid with minimum losses. The Bowl is a casing with diffuser vanes cast integrally to reduce the velocity of the liquid coming from impeller & increasing the pressure.

Impellers are of open (propeller), semi-open (mixed flow) & enclosed (vertical turbine) type depending upon the specific speed of pumps and are accurately machined, dynamically & hydraulically balanced. The shaft is of high tensile strength steel.

Column Pipe Assembly consist of column pipe, line shaft & line shaft couplings and bearings. Column Pipe casted or fabricated, it houses line shaft bearing retainer.

Line shaft bearing provided in leaded bronze shell with cutless rubber (natural / synthetic) bearing lubrication self or pressurized external water. Thrust Bearing Assembly anti friction bearings are provided to take care of axial thrust & weight of rotor assembly as well as radial load. Lubrications with oil / grease. Non reverse ratchet is provided with thrust bearing housing assembly to avoid the rotation of impeller (pump) in opposite direction causing opening of the threaded coupling. Either cast or fabricated designed to direct flow from column pipe to discharge pipe. It may be at ground level or below ground level.

Discharge Head/Discharge Elbow :
Either cast or fabricated designed to direct flow from column pipe to discharge pipe. It may be at ground level or below ground level.

Motor Stool :
M.S. fabricated heavy duty to ensure vibration free operation.

Couplings :
For line shaft, threaded barrel or muff type coupling as per requirement. For pump to motor, pin bush flexible coupling is provided.

Direction of Rotation :
Counter clock wise when viewed from driving end.
