Materials of construction for this unit include a cast iron pump casing, motor frame, and impeller secured with 304 fasteners. The AISI 403 stainless steel shaft is protected by a double mechanical seal in an intermediate oil chamber featuring Silicon Carbide lower faces. Electrical reliability is supported by Class F insulation and an IP68 protection rating for the dry induction motor.
The semi-vortex impeller is designed for non-clog operation when handling wastewater containing soft or fibrous solids. This hydraulic path allows for the passage of foreign matter up to 45 mm in diameter and fibers reaching 320 mm in length. A 80 mm vertical discharge port is used, including a screwed companion flange elbow kit.
Operating with a 0.75 kW motor, this automatic three-phase unit reaches flow rates up to 400 L/Min and a maximum head of 10.7 m. Drawing a rated current of 1.9 Amps on a 415v supply, the unit includes 6 m of submersible cable. This configuration utilizes an integrated float switch system to manage water level drainage cycles unattended.
Automatic industrial wastewater lifting and municipal drainage tasks are primary applications for this submerged unit. It is rated for liquid temperatures reaching 40°C and maximum submergence depths of 4 meters during continuous duty. The pump is engineered for vertical installation in collection wells where automated operation is necessary.
