Tailored for commercial reliability, the Davey DT08G is a high-performance three-phase grinder pump designed for consistent service in industrial pits. This 415v unit provides superior starting torque, making it ideal for the shredding of soft organic solids and textiles in factory waste water and sewage disposal systems. By utilizing a three-phase motor configuration, the assembly offers stable hydraulic pressure and energy-efficient operation for continuous dewatering tasks. Its robust cast iron construction ensures a stable foundation for the most demanding discharge environments.
Powered by a 0.75 kW motor, this three-phase model achieves a maximum flow rate of 150 L/Min and a maximum head of 18.5 metres. The electrical configuration operates with a rated full load current of 1.9 Amps, providing the torque required for the high chromium steel shredder ring to process dense debris. This performance profile is engineered for commercial sites where a 415v supply is available, ensuring rapid evacuation of site sumps through the 1 1/4" BSP F outlet. The motor speed of 2900rpm ensures high-velocity maceration.
The internal hydraulic system utilizes an open centrifugal impeller and a heavy-duty shredding mechanism to macerate solids into a slurry. This design allows the DT08G to handle grey and black water containing up to 20% soft organic solids while maintaining high volumetric efficiency. The centrifugal design minimizes internal vibration and wear, extending the functional life of the rotating assembly in submerged service. This ensures that waste water is moved efficiently into pressure sewer mains without internal blockages.
Mechanical security is reinforced by a double mechanical shaft seal in an oil bath and a 304 stainless steel motor shell. For operational longevity, the unit includes an automatic resetting thermal overload and a 10-metre HO7RN-F oil-resistant lead with bare wire ends for professional three-phase termination. The architectural casting includes rubber-cushioned mounting feet for silent and firm positioning on the pit floor. The pump is fully repairable and designed for low-maintenance operation in commercial sewage applications.
