Handling Water for General Purposes

Water handling is not only a necessity for the industries, rather India hosts a big market for standard pumps for handling water. To cater to the need of this highly demanding segment, in Sinnar near Nashik, KSB established its fifth manufacturing unit in 1994. The Water Pumps Division (WPD), mainly manufacture standard pumps for handling water. Currently, the WPD produces standard bore well submersible pump sets ranging from 100 to 350 mm sizes, sewage handling pumps, and standard industrial pumps in the end suction and multistage constructions.

This division has established critical manufacturing processes for production of all pumps and components including submersible motor stators and rotors, with all its processes complying to and certified with ISO 9000 and 14001. With steady growth in the water market, this division is now embarking on to further increase its capacities and add some more products to its offering with the objective of substantially enhancing the value that can be delivered to the customer in the years to come.

Diversification to Fulfil Customers’ Demand

KSB Pumps (India) diversified to manufacture industrial gate, globe and check valves in the year 1987 in response to the many pump customers, who expressed the need for high quality valves for steam and process fluid applications across the industry segments. This division started with the production of low pressure 150/300/600 class cast valves and forged 800 class valves, and gradually added high pressure valves of pressure seal design in pressure class 900, 1500 and 2500. Today, KSB SICCA ranges of valves are in operation in a wide spectrum of industries for feed water, super heated steam, process steam, thermic fluids and other process fluids. The current KSB SICCA range of cast & forged gate, globe and check valves are from ½” to 24” size, in pressure classes 150 to 2500, in carbon and alloy steel material and are the preferred brand in the highly growing power industry in India and overseas markets.

Ubiquitousness Speaks the Best of Quality

I started talking about the need for high quality pumps in India. Perhaps KSB’s vast presence in all segments of pump users in this country holds the best unwritten certificate for their quality, besides their design philosophy, which not only meets all the relevant codes such as ASME/ANSI/API/PED – but also ensures safety, ease-of operation and a long maintenance-free life. Gathering experience from 100 nations and presenting them through their products mean an automatic inclusion of different national and of course international quality standards – an almost unparalleled experience in India.
