Filtration – A process that carries big responsibility

The essential tasks performed by cleaning and filtration systems make them critical to the quality and success of many companies in sectors as diverse as the food industry and waste water treatment. Yet these systems rely on pumps, which effectively sustain the entire process by transporting the process media throughout the system. This behind-the-scenes role supporting the filtration process makes pumps some of the first components required when building a system.

Extremely short delivery periods are therefore required, and these can only be achieved with a global sales system that is well implemented. Moreover, the pumps’ materials and seals must fulfil high standards: Plant operators will only consider pumps which can cope with a wide range of fluids containing suspended particles and contaminants.

When it comes to fulfilling these requirements, KSB is a step ahead of its market competitors with a highly successful product matched to the continuous optimisation in the filtration process. The reason: We set industrial standards.

The primary task of the filtration process is to achieve and maintain a certain level of purity in a medium. For example, utility water must be treated and purified to obtain drinking water – a process which is subject to very strict regulations ensuring consistently high quality. This is precisely where KSB’s Eta pumps come into play. Eta pumps are synonymous with reliability and efficiency. The numbers speak for themselves: more than 1.5 million Eta pumps have been sold globally.

Their design is modular: The system operator can choose from a variety of casings, shaft seals and materials to suit the operating conditions. In addition, KSB trims the impellers of each Eta pump to match its output data precisely to the customer’s requirements: an efficient method of ensuring that fluid is pumped at the consistent pressure required for the filtration process.

Some 50,000 customised Eta pumps are produced at KSB’s own manufacturing sites each year.

The Eta modular principle combines maximum choice for customers with ease of operation. While plant operators make their selection from a variety of casings, shaft seals and materials based on operating conditions, expert KSB consultants also ensure the ultimate compatibility of components. In Germany, pumps can be produced and delivered within four to five days of ordering – no other pump is available so quickly!

Time-saving, efficient and individually tailored through impeller trimming: with KSB’s Eta, customers get a highly successful product at a highly competitive price. In addition, they are able to rely on the expertise and experience of their KSB consultant. This close cooperation can also lead to the development of new solutions in the future: solutions that set industrial standards.
