A 40-litre polyethylene tank resistant to chemical corrosion and environmental wear houses this automated lifting system. The assembly features a close-coupled submersible pump and a vertical magnetic float switch that optimizes water level management in confined pits. Sealing is managed by a double shaft seal with an oil chamber containing oil suitable for food and pharmaceutical machinery.
Open impeller hydraulics manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel allow for the passage of suspended solids up to 10 mm in grain size. Fluid movement is optimized through a vertical delivery port, while the base-mounted suction filter restricts the entrance of oversized debris. This configuration supports stable performance and reliable solids handling during high-volume drainage of domestic clean or waste water.
The 0.45 kW single-phase motor delivers flow rates up to 220 L/min and achieves a maximum head of 11.7 m. Drawing a rated current of 4.5 Amps, the station provides continuous motor cooling by circulating the pumped fluid through the external jacket. This 240v induction motor incorporates a built-in thermal protector and a triple impregnation humidity-proof winding for reliable operation.
Facilitating civil drainage in narrow wells, this high-performance station handles liquids at temperatures reaching 35°C. The system is ideal for residential environments where gravity-based sewer connection is not possible due to low-elevation discharge points. It is designed for fixed installation, providing reliable wastewater lifting for residential collection tanks.
