KIRLOSKAR BROTHERS LIMITED KIRLOSKARVADI 416 308 APPLICATION : Performance of the side channel pump depends on the clearance between impeller and stage casing [between 0.15 and 0.17 mm wide]. Due to the very less clearances the pump is not suitable for delivery of liquids containing solids with a grain size larger than 60 microns [in some cases a filter can be fitted on the suction side].
