Key Features

Kobe pumps are built with durability and serviceability in mind. These features help extend lifespan and simplify maintenance:

• Replaceable plungers and liners

• Alloy special metallurgy liners  or bushings for durability
• Integrated lubrication systems
• Heavy-duty frame and housing

How We Help You Select the Right Pump

We work directly with you to match the pump to your system. Choosing the right Kobe pump depends on several key factors:

• Required pressure (PSI)
• Desired flow rate (GPM)
• Fluid characteristics (abrasive, corrosive, etc.)
• Operating temperature
• Duty cycle (intermittent vs continuous)

Common Applications

Kobe pumps are frequently used for:

• Steel mill descaling, hydrostatic reduction mill lubrication
• Isostatic compaction systems
• Hydrostatic pressure testing
• Industrial hydraulic systems
• Liquid nitrogen service - aerospace
• Oilfield applications

Common Mistakes When Selecting a Pump

Avoiding these mistakes can save time and cost. We help prevent these issues during the selection process:

• Over-specifying pressure requirements
• Ignoring fluid compatibility and filtration of process fluid
• Selecting the wrong materials for wear conditions
• Not maintaining adequate charge pump pressure to the Kobe
• Not accounting for duty cycle
