Agitator- to fluidize settled solids into suspension.
Wear plate- replaceable hardened surface on the suction side where erosion would cause a loss of pump performance.
Semi- open Impeller- to handle some solids.

EVERY KB pump model is protected by;

Class H motor insulation- and built in amperage (FLA) and temperature overload protection.
Double mechanical seals- SiC/SiC lower & Carbon Ceramic upper in a separate oil filled seal chamber.
Heavy Duty Lip Seal- additional protection for the mechanical seals.
Stainless steel shaft and shaft sleeve- saves on shaft wear due to abrasives and corrosion.

The KB Series are top discharge pumps;

KB pumps are utility pumps -frequently dragged from one site to another. The KB doesn't have a side discharge connection that can break off or be damaged as it is pulled and pushed into place.
Top discharge pumps are cooled by pumped liquid- The KB pumps can pump a sump or pit down to within "inches" of the bottom. A side discharge pump without a cooling jacket must stay submerged to avoid overheating, leaving as much as 3 feet of un-pumped slurry.
Top discharge means "SLIM"- even the largest model with a 13.5 inch "waistline" will fit down a manhole with a hose attached. High-Chrome Agitator helps keep solids suspended in liquid and helps prevent pump from clogging.
