Description
The PACO KP Series by Grundfos is a premier line of horizontal split-case, double-suction centrifugal pumps designed for high-capacity fluid handling in commercial, municipal, and industrial applications. With flow rates reaching up to 15,000 GPM and heads up to 750 feet, the KP pump delivers powerful, efficient performance while minimizing energy use and downtime.
Key Features:
-
Split-Case Design:
Horizontally split at the shaft centerline for quick, easy access to internal components—no need to disturb piping or motor alignment during service. -
Double-Suction Impeller:
Ensures balanced axial thrust, reducing wear on bearings and extending pump life. -
Independent Bearing Housing:
Allows for simplified maintenance without full pump disassembly. -
Precision-Balanced Volute:
Dual-volute design minimizes radial forces for quiet, vibration-free operation. -
Superior Suction Performance:
Integrated suction baffles improve flow into the impeller, reducing NPSH requirements and ensuring stable operation.
