Core offering

KRAL-USA, Inc. is the North American sales and service subsidiary of Austrian KRAL GmbH, selling industrial screw pumps (K, L, C, W, Z, and F series), positive displacement flowmeters, pump stations (EK/EL), and custom engineered special projects. The company serves enterprise customers in marine, oil & gas, power generation, chemical, asphalt/bitumen, and medical equipment sectors with proprietary magnetic coupling and surface treatment technologies.

Product overview

KRAL-USA offers a comprehensive portfolio of positive displacement pump and flow measurement solutions. The core offerings include multiple screw pump series (K, L, C, W, Z, and F) spanning low to high-pressure applications (16 to 120 bar) with flow rates from 5 to 17,660 l/min, complemented by hermetically sealed magnetic coupling pump variants. The portfolio is unified by a shared engineering platform emphasizing reliability, low pulsation, and viscosity flexibility. Supporting the hardware products, KRAL provides flow meters with ±0.1% accuracy, complete pump station packages (EK/EL series), calibration services with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and custom special project engineering for complete fuel and lube oil systems. The products serve marine, power generation, oil & gas, hydraulic, and industrial applications.
