The KTV2 drainage pumps are lightweight, yet heavy-duty and offer excellent wear resistance for maximum durability and minimum maintenance even during prolonged operation in the severest conditions. Cast aluminium and pressed steel outer components make these pumps truly portable, and a vortex impeller and rubber pump chamber give outstanding wear resistance in applications with high sand and silt content. The heavy duty motor is fitted with internal overloads, enabling simple instalation and direct connection to the power supply. The 420 (0/75kw)/ 403 (>1.5kw) stainless steel shaft is fitted with an ultra hardwearing, silicon carbide double mechanical seal (in an oil chamber), and an oil lifter, for postitve seal lubrication in any position. This feature, combined with the water and air cooling channel to the top outlet, allows the pump to operate for extended periods with little or no water. Maintenance is straightforward, with simple replacement of wearing parts without the need for a workshop or even special tools. All models are supplied with 20 metres of heavy duty rubber powercable, except the KTV2-8 which is supplied with 10 metres.
The KTV(E) pumps offer an automatic option to the KTV series, without the need for external control panels and cumbersome float switches. The sensor probe is mounted in a durable, moulded rubber bracket and, for added protection, is positioned within the footprint of the pump base. Once the water level reaches the probe, the pumps will start and continue to operate for one minute after the water falls below it. However, if the water touches the probe within this time, the "stop" signal is cancelled and the pump continues to run until the water is cleared. All models are supplied with 20 metres of heavy duty rubber powercable, except the KTVE2.75 which is supplied with 10 metres.
The KTV2 series pumps have the same construction as the KTV and KRS drainage pumps respectively; however they have a built in agitator to stir sand and silt, carrying water, into suspension for pumping. For greater durability they have silicon carbide/silicon carbide double mechanical seals. To improve wear resistance still further, the KRS2 models also feature 4 pole motors. All models are supplied with 20 metres of heavy duty rubber power cable although IDS (individually screened cable) is available, at an extra cost, on KRS2 models, for quarrying and mining applications.
