PDF datasheet mirror for RWCP/RWCN (KSB Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.

Summary

Product identification

  • Type series: RWCP, RWCN
    • RWCP: with discharge pipe
    • RWCN: without discharge pipe
  • Pump Type: Vertical, centrifugal pumps designed for wells, ditches, and tanks.
  • Impeller Types:
    • A (semi-open)

Feed water

  • Suitable for neutral or aggressive liquids with significant solid content.
  • Applications include:
    • Water with sand
    • Sewage water
    • Water with mill scale
    • Canal water
    • Drain water
    • Chemical sludges
    • Sea water with cinder

  • Solid Content Limits:
    • Semi-open impeller (A): ≤ 3% solids, ≤ 4 g/l sand contents
    • Vortex impeller (V): ≤ 6% solids, ≤ 5 g/l sand contents (Note: Severe hydroabrasive wear occurs if solids contents of approx. 0.5 g/l or higher are combined with circumferential speeds exceeding 20 m/s or low-flow conditions to the left of the duty point).

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Design:
    • Volute pump casing with axial suction and radial impulsion.
    • Single stage impeller, available in semi-open (A), channel (C), or vortex (V) variants.
    • RWCP models are equipped with a discharge pipe to the outside of the base plate.
    • Designed for vertical installation in non-pressurized tanks as standard; special executions for very low pressurized tanks are available upon demand.
  • Materials:
    • Key components include Volute Casing, Pump Cover, Pump shaft(s), Impeller, Pedestal, Wear Rings, Shaft Sleeve, Friction Bearing bush, Discharge Pipe, Intermediate pipe, and Base Plate.
    • Materials used across variants include Grey cast iron (JL1040 / GJL-250), Cast chrome nickel molybdenum steel (CF8M / 1.4408), Tempering steel (F-114 / C45), Hot Rolled chrome nickel molybdenum steel (AISI-316L / 1.4435), Cast chrome steel (CA6NM / 1.4313), Chrome nickel steel (AISI-431B / 1.4057), Special PTFE (TFM, Graphite charged), Steel (St 37.0, F-111 / C15).
    • See the official PDF for exact tabulated values for each material variant.
  • Shaft Seal:
    • Standard: Lip seal.
    • Options: Single mechanical seal (cartridge or non-cartridge) or gland packing.
    • Mechanical seal size Ø: 50 mm, 65 mm, 75 mm (varies by pump size and impeller type).
  • Drive:
    • IEC frame electric motor IM V1.
  • Bearings / Lubrication:
    • External angular contact ball bearings (e.g., 2 x 7307, 2 x 7310, 2 x 7314 + 6314) are located above the base plate, grease lubricated with external grease nipples.
    • TFM (Special PTFE, Graphite charged) product lubricated friction bearing bushes are used in the pump cover and intermediate column bearing supports.
    • External suitable fluid (e.g., fresh clean water) must be provided for friction bearing bush lubrication in case of poor lubricant, abrasives, or solids, with flow rates ranging from 250 l/h to 650 l/h per bearing.
    • An electric driven grease pump can be supplied as an option.
  • Coupling:
    • Standard: Flexible, rubber plug type coupling.
    • Options: Other types available upon request.
    • Coupling Guard: Transparent plastic protections are supplied as standard; metallic protections can be supplied as an option.
  • Base Plate:
    • Standard: Rectangular shaped, non-sealing design.
    • Options: Circular base plate; blind flange shaped plates with special bearing bracket and mechanical seal can be supplied for tank sealing.
  • Dimensions:
    • Detailed dimensions, including "O" lengths (submerged pipe length), "D" lengths (total length), available discharge flange dimensions, and dimensions per motor size, are provided in the full datasheet.
    • See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.
