KIRIS SYSTEM SETS

KIRIS (Key Impeller Removal & Installation System) – US Patented Product

KIRIS (Key Impeller Removal & Installation System) was invented by Key Pump and Gear, LLC. The system was designed to ensure proper removal of the impeller to prevent damage to the vanes. Additionally, it engages multiple points along multiple vanes of the impeller, distributing the force applied when removing or assembling the impeller. This distribution of pressure ensures that an impeller is never distorted or imbalanced due to the excessive strain placed on a single vane.

This tool is used in the assembly phase of a rebuild to ensure the impeller is properly seated and torqued to help prevent leakage past the impeller gasket thereby eliminating the chance of liquids getting into the threads of the impeller which could cause damage to both impeller and the shaft.

Designed for Open Impellers: Safe Access and Secure Fit

Open impellers lack an outer cover blocking their vanes, which makes them easier to access. However, this exposed design makes them more fragile than closed impellers. Technicians should handle them carefully to prevent damage to nearby parts. Poor handling causes vibration, which wears the machinery over time. Imprecise tools not meant for the job are harder on the components and also increase the chances of harming the machinery.

The KIRIS set of wrenches has two options for use on different types of impellers. One wrench is designed to work with impellers that have an odd number of vanes, and the other can fit an even number of vanes. This allows for smooth removal without damaging the vanes or the rest of the impeller.

The complete kit includes three shaft input sockets in multiple sizes. These sockets fit any standard ANSI vertical or horizontal pump. With them, you can loosen impellers quickly and confidently. The square edges on all of the tools in this kit make them compatible with crescent wrenches, resulting in an easier job. Protect your pump from damage and protect your hands from cuts by choosing specialty pump repair tools.

Safely Remove Closed Impellers with Minimal Risk with KIRIS

Heavy-duty pumps often contain closed impellers, which make cleaning and repairs more difficult. The vanes form tight, enclosed areas that are hard to access. Because of this, you need tools built specifically for working with closed impellers in centrifugal pumps. Protect your pumps by using the correct tools. This prevents damage to the shaft or impeller components during service.

The KIRIS wrench set helps technicians remove or install closed impellers with precision. It tackles this task directly, reducing the risk of injury by allowing you to extract parts that are damaged, without cutting yourself on sharp edges or damaging the equipment. You can easily apply torque while you use the wrenches since they stay in place and leave your hands free for other tasks. The wrenches put even pressure on the impeller and allow for a clean, simple detachment from the rest of the pump.

The kit includes three wrench sizes that can fit all seven of the most common pump dimensions. Another important feature is the three-piece input shaft socket set, including keys, that allows you to fit all the standard ANSI sizes for input shafts.

KIRIS Three-Piece Input Socket Set for Consistent Results

KIRIS input shaft sockets securely hold the drive end of the pump shaft during impeller removal or installation. This tool applies precise torque to the shaft. It helps you install or remove the impeller without scoring or damaging the input shaft. Technicians can store the compact input shaft socket in their toolbox so they are always handy. Mechanics should use these sockets only with hand tools such as Crescent or combination wrenches. This allows safe tightening or loosening of impellers from the shaft.  The wrenches and sockets are made of high-quality steel for long tool life when properly cared for.

Use a tool designed by experienced tradesmen to do the job right. Don’t take chances of damaging impellers and setting up a vibration which prematurely destroys your expensive rotating equipment. Don’t risk damaging input shafts and coupling hubs which leads to premature bearing and seal failure by not using the proper tool for the job.

Our system has been developed by skilled tradesmen that make their living repairing, rebuilding, and assembling rotating equipment. Every mechanic and repair shop should have the KIRIS in their arsenal of essential tools. This system should make your customers feel more confident having you work on their expensive equipment knowing that you care enough to use the correct tool for the job.
