Commercial sewage grinding and high-volume effluent dewatering are the primary roles for this three-phase industrial unit. It targets demanding assignments in industry and agriculture where wastewater contains soft solids that must be reduced for safe transport to treatment facilities. The manual design is engineered for continuous duty in building services where structural resilience and three-phase electrical stability are required for large-scale wastewater management.
Hydraulic performance is provided by a 1.5 kW / 415v three-phase motor drawing a rated current of 3.6 Amps. Based on verified technical data, this configuration delivers a maximum head of 20 m and achieves a maximum flow of 341 L/Min for efficient liquid evacuation from commercial sumps. The asynchronous motor maintains operational torque and stability during intensive duty cycles in contaminated fluids.
Solids reduction is achieved through a high chromium hardened stainless steel (7CR17) cutting mechanism paired with a single cast iron impeller. This configuration allows the unit to cut and grind materials for discharge into sewer mains, significantly lowering the risk of mechanical fatigue or blockage in the 2-inch discharge line. The open design facilitates the movement of reduced debris without direct impacting of the rotating blades.
Mechanical durability is anchored by a heavy-duty cast iron hydraulic body and a 304-grade stainless steel motor shaft for corrosion prevention. Motor protection features a built-in auto-resetting thermal overload and dual Graphite/Ceramic mechanical seals to safeguard the stator from liquid ingress. The unit is rated for IPX8 protection and is supplied with a 10m power lead for secure connectivity in depths reaching 7 metres.
FEATURES
