Indian pump manufacturing company Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) is now offering its self-priming (SP) coupled pumpset with the company’s new IE5 motor.

The SP coupled pumpset is designed for handling light chemicals, effluent, sewage, rain or flood water and dewatering applications.

The IE5 motor achieves its high efficiency with an AC induction motor design. KBL said the pumpset is easy to operate, maintain and service as there are no permanent magnets, added accessories or control equipment.

According to the manufacturer, the IE5 robust design and high-grade insulation means it can operate under a wide variety of conditions and withstand extreme power fluctuation, guaranteeing reliability, enhanced equipment safety and long life.

The pump is self-priming for a quicker start time, has a head range of up to 32 m and a discharge range of up to 75 l/s.
