Overseas buyers already know that China makes almost every industrial pump family. The hard part is telling a genuine production plant from a trading desk, a dimensional “equivalent” from a hydraulic match, and a brochure claim from a document that will survive inspection. KanBeng exists to make that discrimination possible in English.
- Operator role
- Independent index and inquiry desk, not a factory agent.
- English site
- Model taxonomy, factory records, guides and RFQ.

What we publish
Each model record holds a family name, a duty envelope in consistent units, wetted-material options, a reference standard, installation and medium tags, a source-check date and a buyer caveat. Each factory record holds identity, location, claimed capability, stated certifications and an evidence label. Guides explain how to use those fields in a purchase.
We would rather publish a narrower, dated record than a glossy paragraph that cannot be checked. Where a manufacturer has not given a usable source, the record stays draft or source-pending and the caveat stays visible.
- Normalize public model data into comparable fields.
- Map informal buyer language onto professional classification.
- Label the evidence status of manufacturer information.
- Turn incomplete sourcing emails into reviewable RFQs.
What we refuse to pretend
KanBeng is not a manufacturer, not a certification body, not a customs broker and not a testing laboratory. We do not guarantee that a listed factory can meet a project specification. We do not sell “verified” badges that skip the stated review. We do not hide the source status of a record to make a page look complete.
The Chinese site is a recruitment channel for factories that want an English-facing record. The English site is the buyer-facing index. Paid participation can expand a profile or improve routing. It cannot buy a quieter caveat or a higher evidence label.
Who this is for
Plant engineers who inherited a Chinese model code and need the family around it. Procurement teams who must shortlist more than one capable plant. EPCs who need a written trail of what was asked, what was matched and what still has to be confirmed on the curve. It is not written for DIY residential pump shopping.
Questions buyers actually ask
Who operates KanBeng?
KanBeng operates as an independent pump intelligence index. Contact details for corrections and privacy requests are on the Contact page. We are not owned by a pump OEM.
Do you take a commission on orders?
The public RFQ workflow is a matching and review service. Any commercial introduction is disclosed in correspondence. Index content is not pay-to-rank for evidence status.
Why is the Chinese site different?
Chinese /zh is built for factory onboarding and capability disclosure. English is built for overseas buyers who need taxonomy, evidence labels and RFQ structure. The two sites share an operator, not a layout.
Can I scrape the index as a product database?
No. Records are informational, may be incomplete, and may not be resold as certified data. See Terms of Use.
