Invented by Key Pump & Gear LLC, the KIRIS (Key Impeller Removal Installation System) was designed to ensure safe and proper removal of the impeller, allowing distribution of the force applied when removing or assembling the impeller on the pump.

The KIRIS wrench sets allow the craftsman to safely remove damaged or sharp-edged impellers without the risk of injury or the possibility of causing further damage to equipment.

They are designed to allow the craftsman to engage the wrench in a manner that allows both hands to be free to apply torque to the system. The open impeller wrenches are designed to fit impellers with an even or odd amount of vanes.

The wrenches engage in a way that distributes the pressure evenly around the eye of the impeller. This applies an even force of torque to the assembly making the most difficult to remove impellers much
easier to break loose in a safe manner.

For machinists and other craftsmen who work with pumps, you know how difficult it can be to repair an open impeller pump. These expensive, heavy-duty pieces of equipment can get damaged easily if proper tools aren’t used.

If you regularly work with an open type impeller, now you have access to a wrench system that will make repairs simple, painless, and safe for both you and your machinery.

Closed impeller system

The KIRIS (Key Impeller Removal and Installation System) is a groundbreaking system designed to help you maintain your impeller pumps.

When making repairs to an open impeller pump, it’s easy to make mistakes that can end up warping the vanes of the impeller. Once damaged, this can eventually lead to premature pump failure. The KIRIS helps you prevent these user errors and allows you to get the work done without touching any sharp-edged impellers.

Our wrench system works by evenly distributing pressure around the eye of the impeller. This enables an even force of torque to allow the impeller to simply pop off in a manner safe for the components of the pump as well as your hands.

Your KIRIS wrenches have all the tools you need to repair your ANSI centrifugal pump.

Whether you’re purchasing tools for yourself or your team of employees, it’s important to take advantage of the latest technology to keep everyone safe in the workplace.

Closed impeller system wrenches

This is especially true when working with heavy equipment in an industrial environment.

The closed impeller wrench set fits a system with a closed impeller centrifugal pump and allows the professional to keep his or her hands free to apply torque while removing damaged or sharp-edged components. This results in reduced risk of on the job injuries and damage to equipment.

Additionally, investing in ergonomic tools can greatly minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries, which are common in tasks requiring continuous and forceful exertions. Ergonomically designed handles and grips ensure that tools fit comfortably in the hand, reducing strain and enhancing precision.

A closed impeller system is one of the most common types, especially when the job involves volatile fluids. The internal workings are encased in two metal plates and not readily visible.

While it is a durable and reliable system, it does lose efficiency over time due to the wear and tear of regular use. Keeping it running at its peak requires the right skills and the right tools.

The system uses internal wear rings, which are not visible from the exterior, so it has to be taken apart to check the status of those components regularly.

In this type of work, assembling and disassembling industrial process pumps can be time-consuming as well as dangerous without the right equipment.

Inferior tools put the handler at risk and can cause important machinery parts to slap together or jar against one another. The advantage of the closed channel impeller system is that it distributes pressure evenly around the eye.

The even force of torque on the assembly not only makes the process of removing broken parts safer, but it also makes it easier to loosen the impellers more efficiently. Protected by a United States patent, this is a valuable tool to help you get your tasks completed more efficiently, saving time and money.
