Aggregate site drainage and high-volume construction dewatering require the powerful displacement provided by this heavy-duty unit. It targets environments where large quantities of storm water or groundwater must be shifted rapidly to prevent operational delays. The inclusion of abrasion-resistant internals makes it a critical tool for site clearing where abrasive sediments are a constant factor in the fluid stream.
Hydraulic output is delivered by a 5.5 kW / 415v motor that achieves a maximum flow rate of 1360 L/Min. Drawing a rated current of 11.5 Amps, the system reaches a maximum head of 36 m, providing the substantial lifting force necessary for large-scale pit dewatering. The motor is rated for continuous S1 duty, facilitating thermal stability and torque consistency during intensive drainage cycles in aggressive industrial conditions.
Superior solids handling is achieved through a Hi-Chrome open impeller design that process liquids containing abrasive grit and small debris. This configuration significantly reduces wear on the internal blades, extending the service life of the unit when handling sand-laden ground water or silt from excavation footings. The 80mm (3") discharge ensures high-volume transfer, maintaining stable volumetric efficiency during high-ingress events.
Mechanical durability is anchored by a rugged industrial housing protected by a knock-resistant coating. Internal protection features an epoxy resin sealed cable entry to isolate the Class F insulated motor from liquid ingress during deep-immersion duty. The 78kg unit is IP68 rated for submergence up to 8 metres and is supplied with a 10m power lead for secure connectivity in demanding industrial settings.
FEATURES
