Used KSB Industrial Pumps for Sale 15

KSB is a German manufacturer of pumps and valves founded in 1871. The brand is one of Europe's oldest and largest pump manufacturers, with particularly strong position in industrial process, water treatment, power generation, and building services markets.

On the used market, KSB pumps attract buyers needing reliable industrial pumping capability with engineered performance. Exapro listings cover Etanorm end-suction pumps for general process and water applications, Movitec vertical multistage pumps for boost pumping and high-pressure circulation, Sewatec submersibles for wastewater and stormwater, and Multitec high-pressure pumps for boiler feed and demanding process duties. For petrochemical applications, API-compliant KSB pumps appear on the secondary market when production facilities are dismantled or upgraded. Compare current KSB listings to find the right configuration for your application.

Key inspection points before buying include mechanical seal condition, bearing condition (running temperature and vibration), impeller wear (affects performance against the pump curve), and materials of construction match for your process compatibility. For older units in abrasive duty, expect some performance loss against original specifications.

Buying a used KSB industrial pump: what to check

Before purchasing any used industrial pump, thorough inspection is essential. For KSB pumps specifically, the materials of construction need particular attention — KSB offers cast iron, bronze, stainless steel, and duplex configurations across most product lines, and the correct material spec for your media is essential. Verify the original nameplate matches the application you intend.

Mechanical seal condition is the primary inspection focus on any centrifugal pump. Test the pump under power if possible and check for any seepage at the seal area. Bearing condition affects vibration and efficiency. For impeller wear, the achievable performance against the original pump curve directly affects suitability for your duty point.

Transport for KSB pumps requires planning — smaller Etanorm units ship in standard freight, while larger industrial process pumps above 200 kg need crating and proper rigging. Transport adds €200-€2,000 to acquisition cost depending on size and distance. On Exapro, each KSB listing provides specifications, photos, and seller contact. Compare multiple KSB listings to find the right combination of capacity, materials, and value for your pumping requirements.
