Hydraulic output for this manual unit is provided by a 15 kW motor reaching a maximum flow rate of 5000 L/Min and a total head of 29.6 m. Operating on a three-phase 415v supply, the unit draws a rated current of 30 Amps. A 10 m submersible power cable is provided for the air-filled dry submersible 4-pole motor, which is designed for Star-Delta starting.
The impeller arrangement is designed for non-clog operation when handling wastewater containing suspended solids. This hydraulic system permits the passage of foreign matter up to 76 mm in diameter. Discharge is handled through a 100 mm vertical port fitted with a discharge elbow with companion flange for connection to large-bore pipework.
Suitable applications for this unit include heavy duty sewage transfer and commercial drainage lifting. It is rated for liquid temperatures reaching 40°C and maximum submergence depths up to 8 meters during continuous duty. The pump is designed for vertical installation in pits where large volumes of effluent containing solids must be moved manually.
Construction features a rugged cast iron pump casing and motor frame paired with an AISI 403 stainless steel shaft. Sealing is managed by a double mechanical seal in an oil chamber featuring Silicon Carbide lower faces and Carbon/Ceramic upper faces. Fasteners are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
