Product Overview
Tunnel dewatering and industrial site drainage require the robust capabilities of this three-phase unit. It targets mining and building sites where abrasive ground water or storm ingress must be evacuated reliably to maintain project timelines. The heavy-duty manual design is engineered for continuous submersion in demanding environments where structural resilience is paramount for long-term service.
Hydraulic output is driven by a 2.2 kW / 415v motor that attains a maximum head of 26 m. Drawing a rated current of 5.0 Amps, the assembly achieves a maximum flow of 670 L/Min, providing the lifting force necessary for deep tunnel drainage or site clearance. This electrical configuration ensures stable torque and performance consistency during intensive service cycles in harsh industrial conditions.
Superior abrasion resistance is achieved through the integration of Hi-Chrome hydraulic components designed to process water containing gritty particles. This configuration significantly lowers the risk of internal wear when shifting sediment-heavy fluids, sustaining high volumetric efficiency during prolonged dewatering tasks. The open impeller design facilitates the movement of abrasive material through the 50mm (2") discharge without clogging the internal passages.
Structural durability features a rugged housing protected by an industrial-grade coating to resist corrosive site conditions. Motor protection is provided by an IP68 enclosure rating and through-body cooling to maintain thermal stability during active use. The unit weighs 38kg and is supplied with a 10m power lead featuring an epoxy resin sealed cable entry to prevent moisture ingress into the electrical stator.
FEATURES
- Hi-Chrome hydraulic components achieve superior resistance to wear in abrasive industrial dewatering applications.
- Through-body motor cooling system allows for effective heat dissipation during continuous submerged service.
- Heavy-duty industrial handle facilitates secure manual deployment and lifting in construction and mining pits.
- Epoxy resin sealed cable entry provides a redundant barrier against moisture tracking into the motor housing.
- Stainless steel inlet strainer prevents oversized debris from entering the pump while allowing abrasive grit passage.
- Rugged construction with a 38kg total weight ensures mechanical stability during high-pressure liquid displacement.
- IP68 protection class supports safe and reliable operation at water depths reaching 8 metres.
- Industrial grade coating protects the external surfaces from impact damage and corrosive ground water elements.

What tunnel dewatering and industrial site drainage require three-phase power?
Heavy industrial drainage and tunnel operations rely effectively on the BIA-3PH-TUNNEL system.
What robust motor capabilities and continuous duty standards apply?
Driving the BIA_3PH_TUNNEL reliably are robust three-phase continuous duty motors.
How does the heavy-duty design handle abrasive ground water ingress?
Continuous shifting of abrasive groundwater is handled safely by the internal wet end of the BIA/3PH/TUNNEL.
What structural steel and mechanical seal systems ensure longevity?
Dual mechanical seals and stainless shafts work together to structurally reinforce the BIA 3PH TUNNEL.
What site protection ratings support harsh underground environments?
Harsh underground environments are successfully managed through the protective design of the BIA 3PH TUNNEL.
