Description
Industrial Cantilever Pump Type K
Industrial cantilever pump type K 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 in systems where a stable water flow and the required 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, municipal utilities, boiler rooms and other engineering systems.
Purpose and Features of K-Type Pumps
The centrifugal cantilever pump type K is designed for pumping technically clean fresh water, excluding seawater, as well as other liquids with density, viscosity and chemical activity similar to those of water.
The temperature of the standard working medium can range from 0 to +85 °C. A small amount of solid mechanical impurities is permitted: their volume concentration must not exceed 0.1%, while the size of individual particles must not exceed 0.2 mm.
Specific operating parameters depend on the pump model. When selecting 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;
- municipal utility companies and water supply networks;
- water circulation and supply in boiler rooms;
- make-up water systems for heating and engineering systems;
- mining and industrial enterprises;
- water supply systems for industrial facilities;
- fountains and decorative water installations;
- 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.
Design 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 allows convenient installation of the pump unit on a foundation and enables its use in stationary pumping systems. The construction provides access to the main components for maintenance and scheduled repairs.
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, versions with other shaft sealing types can be supplied.
Depending on the model and configuration, the pump may be equipped with a single or double gland packing seal, as well as a mechanical seal. Special versions can be used for pumping liquids with elevated temperatures of up to +105 °C.
How K-Type Pumps Are Designated
The numbers in the designation of cantilever pumps 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 shaft seal, climatic version and other design features of the pump unit.

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