Increasing Capacity to Meet Market Needs

KSB is working tirelessly to get ahead of any future shortfalls in the market. Our factories are operating at normal capacity. We are continuing to produce parts in anticipation of customer demand. We also have a healthy inventory of non-white iron parts to cover your needs for the near future. Rest assured we are in constant communication with our sub-suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply.

KSB is renowned worldwide for its reliable and wear resistant GIW^® Slurry Pumps. In order to meet future market needs, KSB is forging ahead with the $42.2 million expansion at their GIW Industries, Inc. subsidiary manufacturing complex in Grovetown, Georgia . Construction of the additional 70,000 sq. ft. facility is progressing on schedule. The additional manufacturing space will have cleaning, shot blasting, heat treatment, machining, assembly, and painting areas.

This expansion ensures we can continue to deliver just what our customers need: rugged, cost-effective slurry pumps, and maintenance services that extend pump life.

Solutions Designed With You In Mind

We recognize that when times are hard, every penny counts. Our engineers are always looking for ways to help you lower your total cost of ownership and reduce downtime.

MDX^® RAMSL (Remotely Adjusted Mechanical Suction Liner)– commissioned in 2018 this technological innovation allows you to mechanically control suction liner adjustment during operations. This upgrade allows maintenance personnel to adjust their pump suction liners in less time than ever before. What once took a crew an average of 32 weekly work hours now takes a single worker one minute with the simple push of a button. RAMSL has delivered on its promise to reduce downtime and facilitate safe and reliable maintenance while reducing overhead costs.

TBC®-92 – thelatest in a long line of high-pressure pumps, the TBC^®-92 provides operators with longer run times, fewer outages, increased production, and a lower cost of ownership. The pump’s sturdy, slow-turning impeller and heavy components contribute to a long wear life that reaches up to 6,000 hours of operation before requiring a wet-end component change.

Predictive Wear Tools – when it comes to part wear, the goal is to achieve the maximum lifespan from wear components and minimize the risk of unexpected outages. Our technicians have developed a device to facilitate measurement and eliminate the guesswork from the process, making measurement easier, quicker, and more accurate. This wear template device reduces downtime by providing operators with reliable and valid measurements of the material loss and remaining thickness to determine when the next pump repair or inspection should occur.

Ven-Bin Workflow Efficiency – inefficient workflow contributes to production losses. Maintenance teams often spend valuable time tracking down small but critical parts such as gaskets, bolts, and packing rings. To solve this problem, we developed an intuitive hardware cart (Ven-Bin) inspired by the Japanese “5-S” organization method to keep every tool and part in one place. The modular design standardizes how millwrights do their work. The Ven-Bin is proof that even small modifications can help to minimize downtime, and boost efficiency during maintenance without sacrificing safety.

From the development of new product lines to optimizing current working methods, KSB is by your side. When you choose us, you gain a partner that is dedicated to your success. You can count on us to support you through your simple and most complex challenges.
