BJM - Model KZN Series -Heavy Duty, Abrasion-Resistant, Solids Handling Pump

Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Choose The KZN

EVERY KZN slurry pump is constructed with the following abrasive resistant 28% chrome iron (600 Brinell, 57 Rockwell C) components;

• Agitator - to fluidize settled solids into a slurry.
• Wear plate - replaceable hardened surface on the suction side where erosion would cause a loss of pump performance.
• Semi- open Impeller - to handle abrasive solid concentrations as high as 70% by weight.

EVERY KZN slurry pump model is protected by;

• Class H motor insulation - and built in amperage ( FLA ) and temperature overload protection.
• Double silicon carbide mechanical seals - in a separate oil filled seal chamber.
• Heavy Duty Lip Seal – additional protection for the mechanical seals.Stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve – saves on shaft wear due to abrasives and corrosion.
• Pump volutes cast from hardened Ductile Iron - 300 Brinnell hardness; twice as abrasive resistant as standard ductile iron.

EVERY KZN is a top discharge pump;

• KZN heavy duty slurry pumps are utility pumps; frequently dragged from one site to another. The KZN doesn’t have a side discharge connection that can break off or be damaged as it is pulled and pushed into place.

• Top discharge pumps are cooled by pumped liquid - The KZN slurry pumps can pump a sump or pit down to within "inches" of the bottom. A side discharge pump without a cooling jacket must stay submerged to avoid overheating, leaving as much as 3 feet of un-pumped slurry.
  
  Top discharge means "SLIM" - even the largest model with a 22.75 inch "waistline" will fit down a manhole with a hose attached.
  
  The KZN’s hardened ductile iron volutes - cast with extra thick walls at the point where pumped slurry enters the discharge.
  
  
  • High-Chrome Agitator helps keep solids suspended in liquid and helps prevent pump from clogging. (Specifications dependent on model & may change without notice).
