Kral - Model K Series -Screw Pumps
Universally applicable screw pump. For pumped media up to 16 bar. One of our best-selling products: compact and universally applicable, reliable and efficient. These are the KRAL screw pumps of the K series. Their housing is made from nodular cast iron and they have a sealed, lifetime-lubricated, service-free external bearing. The KRAL K series screw pumps are approved for use on board ships.

With some liquids, residue can build up, which may cause the pump to fail. A typical spot for residue to build up is at the mechanical seal. The residue damages the ball bearing, which runs hot, melts the elastomeric ring and damages the coupling. With the K series screw pump, there is a weep hole next to the mechanical seal, to prevent the fluid from collecting and building up as residue.
KRAL offers the advanced quality of SiC mechanical seals, which contain graphite, as a solid lubricant to reduce the coefficient of friction in dry running conditions. The O rings with high fluorine content are suitable for higher temperatures and are chemically stable. The K series screw pump offers innovative seal concepts. A proven selection of radial rotary shaft seals, mechanical seals and a hermetically sealed magnetic coupling are available as standard. A robust and compact design rounds off the profile.
Advantages of the KRAL K series screw pumps.
Suitable for many applications, very compact, robust, flexible, excellent price-performance ratio. Perfectly adequate for pressures up to 16 bar. All products of the K series have an internal safety valve and can be ordered with DIN flanges in inline arrangement (except KFT and KFN). Like all KRAL screw pumps, the pumps of the K series are self-priming, deliver with low-pulsation and, in contrast to other functional principles, can be easily regulated.
Advantages of the KRAL screw pumps.
Compared to other types of pumps, KRAL screw pumps convey a wide variety of media, qualities and viscosities in consistently high quantities, even at high differential pressure. Further advantages are the compact design and the high flexibility.
