1. Overview – The Heart of High-Pressure Mining Operations
The Interpump KF36 (compatible with Pratissoli KF36 series) is a triplex plunger pump engineered for continuous heavy-duty service. With a nominal flow of 153 liters per minute at 120 bar (max 130 bar) and a speed of 1000 RPM, this pump is the preferred choice for:
-
Mining dust suppression
-
Mineral washing
-
Waterjet cutting
-
Industrial cleaning
KF36 INTERPUMP
Brand heritage: Interpump Group / Pratissoli – a name synonymous with Italian quality and global reliability.

3. Why Mining Engineers Choose the KF36
✅ Continuous Duty Rating
Unlike intermittent-use pumps, the KF36 runs 24/7 without overheating or premature wear – critical for mines operating three shifts.
✅ Corrosion Resistance
The nickel‑plated stainless steel manifold and ceramic plungers withstand acidic mine water, chemical additives (foam dust suppression), and abrasive slurries.
✅ Easy Maintenance
Modular valve design and accessible seals reduce downtime. Spare parts are interchangeable with original Interpump/Pratissoli KF36 components.
✅ Multi‑Drive Compatible
Mount directly to:
-
Electric motors (50/60 Hz)
-
Diesel engines
-
Hydraulic motors
-
PTO (power take-off)
