Product Overview
The Lowara ZN646/5 is designed as a standalone borehole pump end to provide groundwater extraction as part of the Z6 Series. Operating this wet end requires secure coupling with a compatible 7.5 kW electric motor of the appropriate power rating. Designed for secure installation inside standard 6-inch deep wells, the assembly operates inside standard casings. It is suitable for groundwater supply and irrigation systems, municipal supply lines, and agricultural distribution projects.
To support long-term physical stability during operation, the structural sleeve and discharge head are engineered from cast AISI 316 Stainless Steel. The multi-stage centrifugal hydraulic assembly consists of 5 stages, each incorporating an AISI 316L stainless steel radial impeller. The integrated radial impellers are designed to limit abrasive wear from sand particles, supporting water containing up to 100 g/m³ of suspended sand.
Once paired with its designated 7.5 kW electric motor (nominal current rating of 17 Amps), the coupled assembly achieves up to 51.7 m maximum head. This multi-stage hydraulic wet end generates a maximum flow of 1,000 L/Min through its Rp 80 mm threaded connection. All performance parameters are in accordance with manufacturer technical specifications.
The pump has a maximum external diameter of 142 mm for installation inside standard 6-inch borehole wells. Maximum pump immersion depth is 300 m when used with C4S motors and 350 m when used with L6W motors. The lower support bracket incorporates a standard 6" NEMA-compliant mount for simple mechanical motor integration. Safe coupling requires correct mechanical alignment of the pump shaft and the motor shaft during mechanical coupling.

Is an integrated check valve present in the head and can this unit be positioned horizontally?
Reverse drainage is arrested in the ZN646/5 via an integrated stainless steel non-return valve in the microcast head, with horizontal mounting supported at a minimum recommended 3° incline with the motor lowest.
What vertical head limit does this borehole extraction pump support in deep water wells?
For deep well pressure requirements, the ZN646-5 yields a maximum dynamic head of approximately 51.7 m, delivering consistent vertical water lift.
What pipe connection diameter is on the pump head and how many liters can it push?
Riser piping mates with the standard Rp 3" (80 mm) outlet port, allowing the ZN 646 5 to produce a maximum flow of approximately 1000 L/Min when installed in standard 6-inch borehole installations.
Is this deep well pump built from corrosion-resistant materials to prevent degradation?
Resistance against aggressive underground minerals is achieved through AISI 316 stainless steel pump end, AISI 316L stainless steel impellers and diffusers with removable wear rings, Duplex UNS S 31803 shaft, and Duplex UNS S 32304 coupling, with the ZN_646_5 tolerating suspended abrasive particles up to 100 g/m³.
What power rating and voltage requirements apply to this submersible borehole motor?
The submersible drive for the ZN646/5 specifies a 6-inch NEMA L6W motor delivering 7.5 kW on 380–415 V, 50 Hz, three-phase at 17 A, accommodating temperatures up to 35°C and immersion to 350 meters.
