Product Overview
Built around a thick cast iron housing enhanced with cataphoresis coating, the Pedrollo VXCM15/45 VXCm Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP represents high structural durability. This architectural casting withstands the chemical and physical abrasion found in environments handling dirty water and untreated sewage, shielding internal components.
Weighing 20.2 kg, this heavily reinforced unit is intended to support prolonged wastewater transfer cycles without severe vibration fatigue. The dense material construction allows the system to process unpredictable sludge mixtures and suspended solids reliably, supporting subterranean pits requiring continuous capability.
Deep within the hydraulic chamber, a high-clearance VORTEX impeller directs debris through the 50 mm outlet pipeline. This geometry is secured by a double mechanical seal system separated by a protective oil chamber. The unit maintains stability while delivering a flow rate of 650 L/Min and a head pressure of 11 m.
Designed to automate demanding sanitation workloads, the efficient single-phase electrical infrastructure utilizes a 1.1 kW motor pulling 7.4 Amps. Equipped with an integrated external float switch for liquid level monitoring, the system protects itself against dry running while accommodating fluids up to 40 degrees Celsius.
