Addressing the demands of high-head waste water transfer, the Davey D150G manual grinder pump delivers extreme hydraulic pressure to overcome significant elevations. This unit is engineered for the pumping of grey and black water in industrial and commercial pits where long-distance discharge is required. By utilizing a 1.5 kW motor, the assembly provides the necessary power to drive the high chromium steel shredding ring through tough organic solids and textiles. Its robust cast iron centrifugal design ensures it remains the hydraulic heart of any specialized sewage system.
This high-capacity model achieves a maximum head of 26.5 metres and a maximum flow rate of 220 L/Min on a 240v single-phase supply. Operating with a 13.0 Amps full load current, the motor is configured for heavy-duty service cycles at a synchronous speed of 2900rpm. This performance profile allows for the rapid evacuation of large factory sumps and septic pits through the 1 1/2" BSP F discharge port. The high head capability makes it particularly suitable for connecting to pressurized sewer mains in hilly terrain.
The hydraulic system utilizes an open centrifugal impeller and a shredder ring assembly to macerate solids into a fine slurry before discharge. This design allows the D150G to handle fluids with up to 20% soft solids without internal blockages or compromising volumetric throughput. The use of premium cast iron for all major pump parts provides a rigid foundation that resists the vibration and wear associated with high-velocity pumping. The system is fully repairable, ensuring a long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Mechanical stability is achieved through 304 stainless steel fasteners and a heavy-duty powder-coated motor shell. Longevity is reinforced by a double mechanical shaft seal in an oil bath and a sand slinger lip seal to protect the electrical chamber from ingress. The pump includes a 10-metre HO7RN-F oil-resistant power lead and a seal sensor lead for professional connection to protection relays (excluding specific models). The architectural casting features stable mounting feet and an integrated handle for secure handling during installation.
