This single-phase submersible unit is engineered for both clean and dirty water transfer in domestic and civil environments. It supports continuous duty operation at liquid temperatures up to 35°C in standing installation positions within pits or tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydraulic output reaches a maximum flow rate of 350 L\/min and reaches a total head of 8.1 m. Powered by a 0.9 kW 240v motor drawing a rated current of 6 Amps, the pumped liquid dissipates motor heat during operation. This self-cooling capability ensures the unit can operate safely during extended run cycles even when partially submerged, while an integrated float switch provides automated start\/stop functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater passes through a single-impeller free-flow vortex configuration manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. This design is particularly suitable for liquids with a high solid content, ensuring that filamentous particles can pass without compromising flow. The vertical delivery port simplifies direct pipework connection, while smooth internal surfaces facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClose-coupled construction features a chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 pump body and motor jacket. Sealing is achieved using a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber housing pharmaceutical-grade oil. The motor features a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding, an incorporated capacitor, and a built-in thermal protector for reliable performance in submerged environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured using chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 for the external motor jacket and pump casing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with an automatic float switch for reliable automated operation in collection tanks and pits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble shaft seal configuration with an oil-filled chamber provides a robust barrier against water ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical shaft seal lubrication is provided by specialized oil safe for food and pharmaceutical machinery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pumped liquid provides continuous motor cooling by flowing through the external jacket during operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-flow vortex impeller design facilitates handling of solids and filamentous particles up to 35 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding designed in accordance with EN 60335-2-41 standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP X8 protection rating supports continuous immersion at depths of up to 5 meters with included 10m cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Calpeda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50914706850039,"sku":"GXVM 40-9","price":2306.32,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/calpeda-gxvm-40-9-stainless-steel-float-switch-sewage-pump-rainwater-collection-vortex-impeller.png?v=1783147733","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/calpeda-gxvm-40-9-stainless-steel-float-switch-sewage-pump-rainwater-collection-vortex-impeller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
