4. General Information
4.1. DESCRIPTION
With a compact and robust design,
INOXPA’s KSF and KSFT progressive cavity pumps form part of our range of
positive-displacement pumps with helical rotor, intended for viscous fluids.
The hydraulic parts that form the pump are the rotor and the stator. The rotor is a round-section worm. The stator
has two ribs and its pitch doubles that of the rotor, thus allowing empty cavities between the stator and the rotor.
These cavities are used to transport the fluid. When the rotor turns within the stator, the cavities move
longitudinally from the suction area to the discharge nozzle.
These kinds of pumps are suitable for pressures from 6 bar (single-stage stator) to 12 bar (double-stage stator).
KSF pumps are designed with a fully health-compliant and easy-to-clean transmission. For KSFT, bolts are fixed
through some countersunk screws. The discharge nozzle is eccentric.
Moreover, there is a more robust design of transmission for a longer service life under heavy duty working
conditions.
The standard connections are DIN 11851. Also it is possible to choose other types of connections for the pump,
like the CLAMP, SMS, RJT, flanges DIN 2633 PN 16, etc.
All pump parts in contract with the pumped product are manufactured in AISI 316L stainless steel. The stator is
manufactured in NBR, according to the FDA norm, and the standard sealing is EN 12756 L
1
K mechanical seal.
This equipment is suitable for his use in food process.
4.2. APPLICATION
The KIBER KSF and KIBER KSFT progressive cavity pumps are used to transfer products of low and high
viscosity as well as products containing soft particles.
Some of its applications are for use with edible oils, wine, concentrates and beverages in general.
The intended use of the pump is defined for its characteristic curve.
The range of application for each type of pump is limited. The pump was selected for a given set of
pumping conditions when the order was placed. INOXPA shall not be liable for any damage resulting
from the incompleteness of the information provided by the purchaser (nature of the fluid, rpm, etc.).
