Commonly installed in municipal pumping stations and large wastewater collection networks, this ductile iron submersible sewage pump handles raw sewage and untreated effluents containing high concentrations of organic matter and varied particulates. Continuous submerged operation in centralized collection systems is where this unit performs best, delivering reliable transfer of heavily contaminated wastewater.
A 65 kW motor drives the hydraulic system, achieving a maximum head of 64 m and a flow capacity of 12900 L/min. The 4-pole motor operates at 1476 rpm on a 415 V three-phase supply, drawing 124 Amps. This configuration maintains consistent hydraulic performance during peak demand periods in regional collection grids.
Solids handling is managed by a ductile iron 1-channel impeller with an 80 mm passage, allowing large particles to pass without blocking. This ensures steady flow when transferring untreated wastewater and minimizes downtime caused by debris in raw sewage applications.
IP68 enclosure and Class F insulation protect the cast iron housing during permanent submerged installation. A dual mechanical SiC/SiC shaft sealing system prevents liquid ingress, while integrated moisture sensors provide active motor protection. The unit includes a 15 m H07RN-F power cable and supports Star/Delta starting, with a maximum installation depth of 20 m.
