Wastewater today is tougher to pump. More wipes, more grit/abrasives, new chemical corrosion, higher electrical cost and low use water fixtures can overwhelm old pumps/impellers. Choosing the correct impeller is one of the most important decisions affecting clogging frequency, hydraulic performance, and long-term operating cost.
Through the new KSB and Crane Engineering partnership, municipalities now get the benefit of advanced pump design supported by local engineering expertise and local service capabilities. Together, we help ensure every Pump receives the right hydraulic solution for its unique wastewater profile.
Why Impeller Choice MattersThe wrong design can drive recurring clogging, higher energy usage, and accelerated wear. KSB’s continued Research and Development of Impeller Geometry and Materials of construction, allow municipalities to get the best of both worlds. Impellers designed for Efficiency and minimizing clogging, along with a variety of metallurgy provide an impeller lineup built to address these conditions. Crane Engineering is there for Selection, Startup, Training and beyond to ensures the correct selection is made for today and the future.



Materials of Construction
Typical municipal wastewater is fine with the standard Cast/Ductile Iron. However, there are an increasing larger amount of municipal applications that require a little more. KSB can provide any of its designs in materials like High Chrome, CD4MCu, Stainless Steel and more.
Benefits to Municipalities
The right impeller improves system reliability, lowers maintenance costs, minimizes clogging, reduces energy costs, and extends overall pump life. Correct hydraulic selection creates predictable performance even during those unusual events.
How Crane Engineering Supports the Process
Crane Engineering applies KSB technology using a system-based approach. We provide:
With KSB’s engineered pump designs and Crane Engineering’s local application expertise, municipalities gain a solution that is both technically sound and operationally reliable. Reach out today with any of your wastewater needs!
