Kirloskar Brothers Limited�a step further towards development of the African Sector

Posted on : Wednesday , 24th June 2015

World-class pump manufacturing requires expert engineers and expertise in systems for fluid management. Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) trades precisely on these attributes. KBL is the flagship subsidiary of the US$2.1bn Kirloskar Group. KBL leads Africa’s markets for fluid management solutions to serve large infrastructure projects, addressing requirements in water resource management, power generation, oil and gas operations, solar-operated pumps, building and construction, irrigation, valves, and marine and defence applications. Specifically, the company engineers and manufactures industrial, agricultural and domestic pumps, valves and hydro turbines.

KBL has eight manufacturing facilities in India – Kirloskarvadi, Dewas, Kondhapuri, Shirwal, Ahmedabad, Kaniyur, Kolhapur and Karad. The company has also invested heavily in seven manufacturing and packaging facilities around the globe including facilities in Egypt and South Africa.

Manufacturing innovations such as KBL’s i-NS pump – an aesthetically-advanced nonclog sewage submersible pump with a compact form factor and low maintenance – distinguishes the company in Africa’s key emerging and established markets. It is particularly notable for its modular concept, enabling interchangeability of components. Its integrated design also eliminates most of the potential leakage and short circuit issues typically faced by the end-users in the water and wastewater treatment industries, sewage, building construction and allied sectors. The integration of major components also translates into a reduced total number of parts, and minimised fasteners, so the pump has better assembly and dismantling lead time than its competitors.

Mr Sanjay Kirloskar, chairman and managing director at Kirloskar Brothers Limited, is particularly proud of innovations such as the i-NS pump. He spoke, recently, of the development of the “technologically advanced i–NS”, which reaffirms the company’s commitment to “providing advanced fluid-handling solutions for critical applications”.
