Severe commercial fluid extraction environments place tremendous mechanical strain on internal transferring equipment. To conquer these extreme parameters, the Grundfos SE1.80.80.55.4.50B.B operates as a heavy-duty non-self-priming, single-stage, centrifugal pump designed for handling wastewater, process water and unscreened raw sewage.
The foundational architecture relies on a highly durable metallurgical enclosure that easily deflects the violent physical shocks associated with dynamic pipeline pressure shifts. By forming an unyielding containment vault around the sensitive electromechanical core, this cast iron casing mitigates abrasive wear and securely maintains the exact geometric alignment of the primary rotational assembly over extensive operating cycles.
Internal thermodynamic stability and raw fluid velocity are masterfully governed by the specialized S-TUBE impeller layout. Propelling dense suspended media without structural jamming, this 5.5 kW drive is directly wired to a 3-phase 415v electrical infrastructure. The robust mechanism consistently shifts an approximate maximum flow of 3318 L/Min while generating an impressive maximum head of approximately 18.5 m through its asymmetric 100 mm inlet and 80 mm outlet pathways.
Eliminating the strict requirement for constant on-site technician supervision, a sophisticated liquidless maintenance-free cooling network regulates internal temperatures for fully submerged or totally dry deployments. Furthermore, a highly intuitive stainless-steel clamp assembling framework ensures the primary motor unit can be swiftly detached, granting maintenance teams rapid component access without complex dismantling toolsets.
Features
- Built completely around a specialized IP68 enclosure class specifically designed to conquer permanently flooded applications.
- Engineered to confidently operate at a maximum fully submerged certified installation depth measuring exactly 12 m.
- Equipped with a rugged 15 m Lyniflex power cable to actively streamline versatile electrical integrations across large industrial zones.
- Protects core electrical coil integrity utilizing an internationally recognized Class F mechanical insulation safety rating.
- Assembled with a substantial total structural net weight measuring exactly 173 kg to suppress rotational mechanical vibration.
- Driven by an advanced internal motor achieving a rated operational rotational speed of exactly 1455 rpm.
- Designed to safely perform up to 20 maximum mechanical starts per hour to optimize intense commercial fluid extraction cycles.
