The Russian pump company "KRON" ("NK KRON") has launched a new production line of industrial KV vertical pumps at its plant in Tula. This type of hydraulic machine is included in the register of critical equipment of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the press service of "KRON" reported.
The company has developed design documentation for the new line, purchased equipment and carried out commissioning works. Investments in the project exceeded 300 million rubles.
In which industries are KV vertical pumps used?
KV-type hydraulic machines are compact and highly productive. They are used in the energy, water supply, chemical, food and agricultural industries.
Localization of production in Tula will be an important step in ensuring technological independence and uninterrupted supply of equipment to key Russian infrastructure facilities.
Managing partner of "NK KRON" Nikolai Kuzenkov said that the production of industrial vertical pumps KV has a high degree of localization. The company's products can compete with European and American counterparts, but cost less, he stressed.
Today, the main competitor for Russian manufacturers are Chinese companies focused on mass production.
By introducing automated systems into production, the company plans to increase the output of KV vertical pumps. The equipment will appear on foreign markets in the future, including the CIS, Asia and Africa, Kuzenkov summarized.
