Optimizing fluid trajectory is crucial when transporting contaminated liquids, and the DT08K Sewage Cutter Pump systematically solves this challenge. By utilizing a single-channel centrifugal geometry, the pressurized pathway accelerates slurries without creating turbulence, preventing fibrous material from catching onto internal surfaces.
At the core of this operation lies a precisely engineered 0.75 kW electric motor configured for a 415v three-phase power supply. This drive rotates the assembly with enough torque to generate a maximum head of approximately 15 meters. The unit easily achieves a maximum flow threshold of approximately 350 L/Min, discharging via the 50mm outlet.
Thermal equilibrium is maintained across prolonged operating windows via the 304 stainless steel motor enclosure, which transfers heat directly into the fluid. This choice secures electrical integrity while acting as an impenetrable corrosion barrier against aggressive chemical compounds commonly found in active septic tanks and deep sumps.
To safeguard the internal stator structure, a high-grade double mechanical shaft seal operates silently within a captive oil reservoir. This precise barrier features silicon carbide and ceramic friction faces. Accompanied by an automatic resetting thermal overload module, operators gain total confidence during rigorous effluent applications.
Features
- Fitted with a razor-sharp tungsten carbide cutting tip specifically designed to shear through troublesome suspended soft solid particulates.
- Engineered with a high-strength hardened case iron diffuser plate to consistently stabilize static fluid pressures behind the rotating assembly.
- Incorporates a dedicated sand slinger component acting as a specialized sacrificial lip seal to guard the main mechanical face against wear.
- Utilizes a heavy-duty ten-meter HO7RN-F electrical lead providing supreme installation flexibility and oil resistance during deep deployment.
- Rated for a maximum continuous submergence boundary reaching 20 meters, allowing it to function flawlessly within deeply excavated trenches.
- Features a comprehensive Class F internal insulation barrier to ensure totally secure electrical functionality within 40-degree Celsius fluids.
- Equipped with high-grade nitrile rubber elastomer O-rings to absolutely guarantee tight fluid containment across all structural connection zones.
