Industrial wastewater transfer facilities utilise the Grundfos SL1.100.100.55.4.50B.C for processing sumps and civil wet wells. Holding CE EN12050-1 approval, this model is built for permanent submerged installation and is intended for handling untreated wastewater containing large solids in centralized collection systems.
Operating on a 3 x 415V supply with a rated current of 10.9 Amps, the 5.5 kW 4-pole motor runs at 1463 rpm. It reaches a maximum head up to 16.6 m and maximum flow up to 4284 L/min. This model is rated for continuous S1 submerged service in liquids between 0°C and 40°C. The motor is cooled by the surrounding pumped liquid during normal submerged operation.
Solids handling is facilitated by an S-tube impeller providing a 100 mm free passage for untreated wastewater while helping reduce the risk of clogging. The hydraulic design features a DN 150 inlet and a 4" (100 mm) outlet with DIN flange connections. This supports the discharge of contaminated media in industrial processing sumps.
Construction features an EN-GJL-250 cast iron pump housing and motor casing. Protection includes a double SIC/SIC mechanical seal and integrated PTC thermal sensors for motor protection. Integrated moisture sensors are included for seal and motor monitoring, along with 10 metres of LYNIFLEX power cable and an IP68 enclosure rating. The pump is suitable for installation depths up to 7 metres.
