Product Overview
The Pedrollo VXCM15/35-N VXCm Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP is engineered to tackle severe operational demands encountered in demanding drainage infrastructure. Designed for environments handling dirty water with suspended solids, this robust unit is intended to process untreated sewage, wastewater, and dense sludge mixtures.
Constructed from thick cast iron enhanced with cataphoresis treatment, the architectural housing provides heavy resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Weighing 19.7 kg, this dense metallic framework protects internal components from harsh putrid sludge and industrial effluent, allowing continuous operation even when partially uncovered.
Internally, the hydraulic configuration is optimized around a specialized VORTEX impeller that facilitates the smooth passage of solid debris without clogging. Operating with a double mechanical seal separated by an oil chamber, the unit stabilizes fluid velocities to deliver a maximum flow of 500 L/Min and a maximum head of 13.5 m.
Long-term operating cost stability is managed through a highly efficient 1.1 kW motor drawing 7.4 Amps on a single-phase supply. Featuring an external float switch for automated safety protection and a 40 mm outlet, this system supports reliable liquid management with a 10-metre power cable for straightforward underground installation.
