Pune-based Kirloskar Brothers (KBL), the flagship company of the $2.5 billion Kirloskar Group, announced that it has showcased a series of new generation energy-efficient pumps for the benefit of farmers. The pump range was showcased at Kisan Mela 2022, India鈥檚 largest Agri fair in Pune.

KBL鈥檚 recently unveiled new generation pumps are unique in many ways. Made with advanced technology, these pumps consume less energy for high performance. Hence, farmers can save money through lower electricity bills by using Kirloskar鈥檚 new generation pumps for irrigation purposes. We have been helping farmers prosper by producing energy-efficient pumps since the very beginning and will continue to do so in the future as well,鈥� said Rama Kirloskar, Joint Managing Director, Kirloskar Brothers. 

With Kirloskar pumps, the efficiency remains constant for a long period of time and therefore there is no loss in efficiency as observed in the case of generic pumps in the market. Kirloskar pumps help to save energy and reduce farmers' electricity bills by up to 20 percent compared to other pumps available in the market.

Choosing the right pump for irrigation contributes to the overall farmers鈥� prosperity. Farmers, therefore, can rely upon the new generation Kirloskar pumps that are energy-efficient, have lower electricity and maintenance costs and have fewer chances of motor burning resulting in the Lowest Lifecycle Cost (LLC). Kirloskar pumps have gained customers 鈥榯rust for over a century and are a preferred choice among users.

Our submersible range of pumps is capable of drawing water from deep borewells, which means farmers can use these pumps even in case the water table declines below a certain level. In addition to our wide range of water-filled submersibles, we also have the most extensive range of oil-filled submersibles in the Indian market. Oil-filled submersibles are not as well-known as water-filled submersibles since most manufacturers do not make this product and therefore do not market it. Oil-filled submersibles have a huge advantage over water-filled in markets that are plagued by voltage fluctuation. Our submersibles have one of the widest voltage bands ranging from 150 to 240 volts. This ensures that our oil-filled submersibles are resistant to motor burning due to these fluctuations. In addition, we also provide F class insulation in our oil-filled submersible pumps, which again minimises the chances of motor burning. 

High-class bearings used in the oil-filled submersible pumps reduce wear and tear and helps continuous working and sustained efficiency over the period of time and resulting in longer life of the pumps. Unlike water-filled submersibles, oil-filled submersible pumps are suitable for not only vertical but also horizontal installation. When placed horizontally in a water tank it is capable of emptying the tank to a point where it is almost empty thereby preventing the collection of sediment and stagnant and foul-smelling water. Our efficient and energy-saving design of oil-filled submersible pumps results in continuous working and lower electricity bills. Water-filled submersibles require frequent rewinding which oil-filled submersibles do not.

A unique feature in KBL鈥檚 water and oil-filled submersible pumps is the advanced sand-fighter design which is not available in generic pump brands. When the pump fetches water from sandy borewells, the chances of sand being pumped along with the water is very high which reduces the efficiency of pumps and increases the wear and tear of pump components. KBL鈥檚 advanced sand-fighting arrangement technology prevents sand from entering the pump and hence avoids wear and tear of the pump, prevents pump jamming, and results in higher efficiency and longer life of our pumps.

KBL鈥檚 mini-series of pumps carry a host of other features that include lightweight and compact designs. These pumps are made with high efficiency and energy-saving design along with a thermal overload protector. The motor of this pump is designed to withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from 180-260 volts and reduces the chances of motor burning. These pumps are used for applications such as farming, agriculture, and household water supply. 

Kirloskar Brothers鈥� pumps provide hassle-free and reliable operation during their life. They are also highly efficient and have low maintenance costs, which results in more cost savings for the end consumer.

Manufactured with enhanced features, these pumps bring up to 24 months of warranty which ensures cost-free repairing and servicing in case of any default during this period. In general, Kirloskar pumps deliver services in all conditions for several years without any maintenance cost, provided they are operated and handled efficiently.
