Mine dewatering and high-head lifting assignments in industrial environments are the specialized focus of this Hi-Chrome unit. It provides a robust utility for subsurface pits and aggregate sites where groundwater contains abrasive sediments that would degrade standard drainage equipment. The manual operation mode ensures site personnel have complete control during intensive water removal tasks where high-pressure evacuation is mandatory.
Operating performance is anchored by a 3.7 kW / 415v three-phase motor that pulls a rated current of 8.0 Amps. This system achieves a maximum head of 32 m and sustains a flow rate of 760 L/Min for efficient clearance of deep pits. The asynchronous motor supports continuous duty cycles, ensuring the pressure behavior remains stable during prolonged cleanup operations in demanding commercial dewatering installations.
Fluid transfer is conducted by a specialized hydraulic assembly featuring abrasion-resistant components to handle grit-laden water. The design balances high-head output with the durability necessary for clearing mining sumps or aggregate processing ingress where small suspended solids are present. The top-mounted 80mm (3") hose connection facilitates a streamlined setup for high-volume dewatering lines to ensure maximum volumetric displacement.
Structural resistance is provided by a heavy-duty housing paired with a stainless steel motor shaft for long-term corrosion prevention. Internal safety features include an epoxy resin sealed cable entry and an IP68 protection rating to safeguard the electrical assembly from liquid ingress. The 68kg unit incorporates through-body cooling and an industrial-grade coating to withstand the realities of everyday use in harsh building environments.
FEATURES
- Specialized Hi-Chrome construction offers extreme resistance to abrasion from grit and silt in industrial sumps.
- High-torque 3.7 kW motor reaches a 32m head for effective lifting of liquids from deep subsurface areas.
- Through-body cooling design protects the motor windings during extended periods of submerged operation.
- Integrated stainless steel strainer screens out large solids while permitting the passage of abrasive sediments.
- Rugged manual design with a 68kg weight provides a stable platform for high-pressure industrial dewatering.
- Epoxy resin sealed cable entry eliminates the risk of water tracking through the lead into the motor case.
- 80mm (3") discharge connection supports high-volume transfer with reduced friction loss in dewatering lines.
- Industrial grade coating ensures superior protection against impact and corrosive attack in mining environments.
