Industrial effluent systems and municipal sewage lift stations frequently use this ductile iron submersible sewage pump for permanent wet well installation. Contaminated liquids and raw sewage containing large solids are handled efficiently, making the unit suitable for high-volume collection networks and treatment plant intake systems.
Hydraulic output reaches 16800 L/min flow and 37.8 m head, powered by a 58 kW motor. The 4-pole motor operates at 1482 rpm on a 415 V three-phase supply, drawing 111 Amps for stable performance across extensive collection networks.
A ductile iron 2-channel impeller with 100 mm solids passage provides superior debris handling capability. This design minimizes internal clogging and maintains reliable flow patterns when transferring raw sewage with large contaminants.
IP68 rated cast iron housing with Class F insulation ensures long-term submerged durability. Moisture sensors and a dual SiC/SiC mechanical shaft seal arrangement prevent motor damage from liquid ingress. Supplied with a 15 m power cable and rated for depths up to 20 m.
