KSB has revealed the ELN-150 Imvubu, a new self-priming wastewater pump engineered to handle large solids and abrasive slurries in municipal and industrial wastewater applications.
The manufacturer describes the Imvubu as incorporating a widened inlet geometry, an optimised impeller profile and hardened wear components, enabling it to pass larger debris with a lower risk of clogging while maintaining hydraulic efficiency.
The design reduces maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership by simplifying access to wear parts and employing materials selected to withstand aggressive effluent chemistries. KSB’s announcement also highlights local manufacture and field testing under challenging conditions, with performance data showing stable head–flow behaviour across variable loads — a key selling point for utilities and contractors working in remote or resource-constrained environments.
The new pump is promoted as being suitable for sewer lift stations, treatment plant grit handling and industrial effluent lines.
