KSB ETB050032200 Volute Casing Pump

• Transfer of liquids in food and beverage production, such as water, brines, or CIP solutions.
• Circulation within heating or cooling systems for process control.
• Handling of low-viscosity food products where shear is not a critical concern.
• Integration into washing or rinsing stations for produce or equipment.
• Use in utility applications within a food processing plant, such as boiler feed or wastewater.

Typical capacity

For this class of volute casing pump, capacities commonly range from 10 m³/h to 200 m³/h, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, often with a frequency inverter for variable speed control.

Materials of construction

The wetted parts are typically cast iron or stainless steel, with seals appropriate for the intended liquid. For food applications, stainless steel is often preferred.

Operating temperature

Volute casing pumps are generally suitable for a wide range of liquid temperatures, typically from -10°C to +120°C, depending on seal and material specifications.

Motor power

Motor power for KSB ETB series pumps commonly ranges from 1.5 kW to 30 kW, influenced by the required flow rate and head.

Connection type

Flanged connections are standard for industrial pumps of this size, typically conforming to DIN or EN standards.

• What is a volute casing pump?

  A volute casing pump is a type of centrifugal pump where the impeller discharges into a progressively widening spiral casing (volute) designed to convert velocity energy into pressure energy efficiently.

• What does 'closed coupled design' mean?

• What is the benefit of a frequency inverter with this pump?

• Is this pump suitable for viscous food products?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of pump?

Centrifugal pumps are widely regarded as reliable workhorses in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers typically value their smooth operation, low maintenance requirements, and consistent performance across diverse fluid handling tasks. When purchasing used models, buyers commonly prioritize checking seal condition, impeller integrity, and motor functionality. Industry sentiment favours units from established manufacturers with documented service histories. Key strengths include durability, cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment, and suitability for both routine and demanding applications.
