Engineered for demanding industrial and civil environments, this Lowara unit provides a specialized solution for circulating process water or managing fluids with suspended solids. It excels in applications where material durability is critical, such as cooling systems or wash-down processes, ensuring reliable liquid movement in heavy-duty settings. The pump is designed for facility managers and installers who require a non-clogging configuration capable of handling particles up to 20mm in diameter, making it an essential component for complex fluid transfer setups that demand sustained operational continuity.
Built for rigorous performance, the unit is constructed entirely from AISI 316L stainless steel, offering significant resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure. It achieves a maximum capacity of approximately Max Head 13.4 m and Max Flow 700 L/Min, driven by a 1.87 kW / 240v motor. The hydraulic design integrates an open impeller, specifically optimized to prevent blockages during the circulation of raw or contaminated water, ensuring consistent pressure and volumetric output across varied duty cycles throughout its service life.
Technically, the pump employs a close-coupled architecture which promotes a compact footprint while maintaining robust hydraulic alignment. The TEFC motor design features external ventilation to manage thermal load effectively during continuous operation, while the standard FKM elastomers provide a wide temperature tolerance range from -10°C to +110°C. This model includes an automatic reset overload protection mechanism, safeguarding the electrical system from thermal damage during transient over-current conditions often experienced in intensive fluid handling environments.
Installation is simplified through 50mm suction and 40mm discharge threaded connections, which are compatible with standard industrial plumbing configurations. The pump is rated for a maximum working pressure of 8 bar and incorporates a support foot to facilitate floor-mounted stability, reducing vibration during high-speed rotation. With a protection class of IP55, the unit is suited for locations where exposure to moisture or dust is a factor, providing an adaptable solution for both indoor and outdoor industrial water transfer requirements.
Features:
- AISI 316L stainless steel components for maximum structural resistance
- Suitable for continuous duty in demanding civil fluid management applications
- Asynchronous squirrel cage motor with class F insulation rating
- IP55 weather and ingress protection for reliable site deployment
- Handles suspended solid particles up to 20 mm in diameter
- Threaded ISO 7 connections for secure piping interface integration
- Advanced FKM mechanical seal design for chemical-rich fluid compatibility
