K-TC™ Vortex Horizontal Slurry Pump
KETO K-TC™ vortex pumps are designed for use where slurry particles are fragile and damaging them is detrimental to the process. The vortex created by the impeller transfers energy to the slurry without direct impact from the vanes on the particles. This allows particles to be pumped without damage.
Vortex pumps are ideal for carbon transfer pumps as they prevent damage to the carbon. They are also ideal for slurries with large particles. The passage size for the K-TC range is typically double that of standard slurry pumps.
The K-TC range comes in horizontal and vertical arrangements. The K-TC range is mounted on KETO’s K-HS & K-VS drive assemblies providing commonality of spares and long term reliability.
KETO holds a comprehensive stock of spares for the K-TC range. KETO can also supply conversion kits or spares for other brands of vortex pumps.
