Caprari KCT+ Three Phase Electric Submersible Pump with Shredder

The Caprari KCT+ Series is a robust range of three-phase submersible wastewater pumps with integrated shredders, purpose-built to handle sewage and drainage water containing solid or fibrous materials. These pumps are ideal for demanding applications in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial environments—where high head performance and solids management are critical.

Featuring a high-torque stainless steel shredder and carefully engineered hydraulic profiles, the KCT+ series delivers powerful cutting action, reduced clogging risk, and exceptional hydraulic efficiency. Despite compact dimensions and moderate motor ratings, the pump’s high head capability enables long-distance pumping and elevation lifts, making it suitable for remote or uneven terrain installations.

APPLICATIONS

• Sewage and blackwater lifting from homes, hotels, supermarkets, and campsites
• Wastewater systems in abattoirs, farms, and food processing facilities
• Industrial drainage from paper mills, filling stations, and treatment plants
• Any location requiring solids reduction before discharge

PUMP FEATURES

• Shredder System: Hardened stainless steel shredder designed for long service life and fade-free performance
• Hydraulics: Impeller and casing engineered to reduce clogging and support high-pressure operation
• Wear Adjustment: Frontal disk clearance can be adjusted during operation to maintain performance
• Pump Casing: Cast iron with optimized hydraulic profile for solids-handling reliability
• Mechanical Seals: Dual mechanical seals in series with oil chamber for motor protection; pump-side seal is abrasion-resistant
• Motor: Three-phase asynchronous squirrel-cage motor, cooled by the surrounding fluid
• Conductivity Sensor: Alerts for water ingress into the oil chamber
• Thermal Protection: Built-in thermal probes trip power above 132°C, restarting when cooled by 15°C
• Bearings: Grease-lubricated bearings, with axial thrust supported by the lower bearing
• Compact Assembly: Overhung pump shaft design reduces bearing loads and increases operational life

CONSTRUCTION

• Motor cooling: Via pumped fluid, ensure minimum head compliance for proper thermal regulation
• Seal protection: Large oil chamber isolates and lubricates mechanical seals
• Easy Maintenance: Shredder component easily replaceable with basic tools
• Installation: Suitable for fixed or portable submersible installations

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHT

• Solids Handling: Effective shredding of fibrous, textile, and solid-laden wastewater
• High Head Delivery: Capable of overcoming long discharge runs and elevation differences
• Continuous Duty: Rated for submerged operation with constant workload
• Power Supply: Three-phase motor configurations for robust commercial performance
