Construction features for this unit include a cast iron pump casing, motor frame, and impeller 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. The assembly utilizes 304 stainless steel fasteners and is rated for permanent immersion under IP68 protection standards.
The semi-vortex impeller is designed for non-clog operation when handling wastewater containing soft or fibrous solids. This configuration facilitates the passage of foreign matter up to 32 mm in diameter and fibers reaching 250 mm in length. A 50 mm delivery port is used to move waste to discharge lines through the included screwed companion flange kit.
Dairy washdown wastewater collection and industrial transfer are documented applications for this manual unit. It is rated for liquid temperatures up to 40°C and a maximum submergence depth of 4 meters during continuous duty. The pump operates in a vertical standing position and requires manual start control from an external three-phase supply.
Powered by a 1.5 kW motor, this manual three-phase unit reaches a maximum flow rate of 320 L/Min and a total head of 19.6 m. Operating on a 415v supply, the unit draws a rated current of 3.3 Amps and includes a 6 m submersible power cable. The air-filled 2-pole dry motor is built for stable performance during high-head drainage tasks.
