Heavy commercial wastewater processing facilities demand highly resilient pumping infrastructure to maintain uninterrupted fluid transfer under extreme environments. The Grundfos SE1.80.80.40.4.50B.B is an exceptional non-self-priming, single-stage centrifugal pump explicitly designed for handling intense wastewater, process water, and unscreened raw sewage safely without disruption.
The uncompromisingly rigid cast iron external framework acts as an impenetrable containment vessel against highly abrasive liquid contaminants. By deflecting the violent physical shocks associated with rapid internal pressure changes, this dense metallurgical housing actively prevents microscopic warping, securing the exact critical geometric alignment of the complete rotational assembly.
Hydrodynamic stability within the internal primary volute is expertly achieved utilizing advanced S-TUBE impeller engineering, accelerating dense media seamlessly without structural jamming. Powered by a heavy-duty 4 kW drive directly wired to a 3-phase 415v network, the unit achieves an impressive maximum head of approximately 16.3 m and aggressively shifts an approximate flow of 2952 L/Min.
Eliminating the requirement for active on-site technician supervision, an advanced liquidless maintenance-free cooling network autonomously regulates core temperature for safe submerged or dry deployments. Furthermore, an intuitive stainless-steel clamp assembling framework ensures the primary motor unit can be rapidly detached for necessary field inspection without complex industrial dismantling toolsets.
Features
- Manufactured with a massive solid foundational unit weight measuring exactly 173 kg to drastically diminish active operational vibration resonance.
- Flawlessly processes challenging liquid media with continuous active internal temperatures dynamically ranging between 0 and 40 °C.
- Engineered with an advanced IP68 ingress protection enclosure standard to block catastrophic moisture penetration from flooded deep pits.
- Certified for extreme subterranean pit deployment featuring a strictly verified maximum submerged installation depth measuring 12 m.
- Integrates a durable 15 m Lyniflex power cable structure to comfortably and safely reach distant industrial electrical grid hookup boxes.
- Designed to reliably sustain intense fluid system loading with a maximum operating environmental pressure rating of exactly 6 bar.
- Maintains superior internal electrical coil structural integrity utilizing a verified premium Class F mechanical insulation safety rating.
