Description
Industrial K-Type Cantilever Pump
The industrial K-type cantilever pump is centrifugal pumping equipment designed for stationary operation and intended for pumping clean technical water and liquids with properties similar to water. These pumps are used where a stable water supply and the required system pressure need to be maintained.
K-series pumps feature a horizontal cantilever design. The equipment is designed for long-term operation and can be used at industrial enterprises, in water supply systems, utilities, boiler houses, and other engineering systems.
Purpose and Features of the K-Type Pump
The K-type centrifugal cantilever pump is designed to handle technically clean fresh water, excluding seawater, as well as other liquids that have properties close to water in terms of density, viscosity, and chemical activity.
The temperature of the standard working medium can range from 0 to +85 °C. A small amount of solid mechanical particles is permitted: their volumetric concentration must not exceed 0.1%, and the size of individual particles must not exceed 0.2 mm.
Specific operating parameters depend on the pump model. When selecting the equipment, it is necessary to consider the required flow rate, head, electric motor power, and characteristics of the pumped liquid.
Applications of K-Type Cantilever Pumps
Thanks to their versatility and wide range of operating characteristics, industrial K-type pumps are used in various fields. The equipment can be used for:
- industrial and municipal water supply systems;
- housing and utility companies and water utilities;
- water circulation and supply in boiler houses;
- make-up water supply for heating and engineering systems;
- mining and industrial enterprises;
- water supply systems for industrial facilities;
- fountains and decorative water structures;
- waterfalls and water circulation systems;
- ponds and fish farming facilities;
- pumping water from open water sources, including rivers;
- other stationary systems requiring clean water pumping.
Construction and Operating Principle
The K-type pump belongs to the centrifugal equipment category. During operation, the electric motor drives the impeller, which generates centrifugal force and moves the liquid from the suction port to the discharge port.
The horizontal cantilever design provides convenient installation of the unit on a foundation and allows it to be used in stationary pumping systems. The construction allows for maintenance of the main components and scheduled repair work.
Design Versions and Shaft Sealing
The standard pump version is designed for pumping working media with temperatures up to +85 °C. For special operating conditions, modifications with other types of shaft seals may be available.
Depending on the model and configuration, single or double gland packing seals, as well as mechanical seals, can be used. Special versions allow the pump to operate with higher-temperature liquids — up to +105 °C.
How K-Type Pumps Are Designated
In the designation of cantilever pumps, the numbers indicate the main hydraulic parameters of a particular model. For example, in the designation K 20/30, the number 20 corresponds to a nominal flow rate of approximately 20 m³/h, while 30 indicates a head of approximately 30 m.
Additional designations may indicate the type of seal, climatic version, and other design features of the unit.

How to Select a K-Type Cantilever Pump
To properly select an industrial cantilever pump, it is necessary to determine the main parameters of the future system. The primary factors include the required flow rate (m³/h), head (m), temperature and properties of the working fluid, as well as installation conditions.
The electric motor power is selected according to the pump's operating point. For example, a specific pump model may be equipped with an electric motor of a particular power depending on the required flow rate and head.
Before purchasing, it is recommended to check the pump specifications against the required operating point and make sure that its parameters meet the requirements of your system.
