Kirloskar Brothers introduces new series of borewell submersible pumps

Indian pump manufacturer, Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) has launched new series of borewell submersible pumps, the NEO Series 4-in, which has been designed for rural, domestic and community water supply markets, including farming, buildings and construction sectors. 

The NEO Series 4-in borewell submersible pumps have a Sand Fighter arrangement, that restricts the entry of sand and protects the pump-set brushes in sandy borewells. They also have anadvanced water-cooled motor which ensures 30% higher discharge and 60% more life and energy-saving (60% savings on electricity). The new range also offers better corrosion resistance and better pump and motor alignment.

The pumps can work in adverse conditions with their extra overloading capacity and the compact, easy-to-repair design features include a carbon plus stainless-steel thrust plate, and FG200 graded casting with cathodic electro deposition (CED) coating makes it corrosion-resistant.

This new series has NEMA couplings and the high torque motor offers wide voltage range from 180– 240 volts, which protects the motor from burning due to high or low voltage. The dynamically balanced rotating part ensures lesser vibrations.

Roper Technologies Inc has agreed to sell a majority stake in its industrial businesses, including its entire Process Technologies segment and the industrial businesses within its Measurement & Analytical Solutions segment, to affiliates of private investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC (CD&R).

The transaction includes the Cornell, FMI and Roper Pump businesses, as well as Alpha, AMOT, CCC, Dynisco, FTI, Hansen, Hardy, Logitech, Metrix, PAC, Struers, Technolog, Uson and Viatran. Together, these businesses generated approximately US$940 million of revenue and US$260 million of EBITDA in 2021. “This is the final step in Roper’s divestiture strategy to reduce the cyclicality and asset intensity of our enterprise,” said Neil Hunn, Roper Technologies’ president and CEO. “Selling a majority interest in these industrial businesses will provide Roper with significant upfront cash, while maintaining the ability to receive additional cash proceeds from the future exit of our minority interest.” “We are excited to partner with CD&R given their track record of successful corporate partnerships. Operating as a standalone entity will enable these businesses to build on their niche-leading strategies and continue creating value for their customers and shareholders,” added Hunn. John Stroup, operating advisor to CD&R Funds, will lead the standalone entity when the transaction closes.
