Product Overview
Consistent fluid extraction in demanding environments requires resilient, highly capable hardware. Evaluated explicitly as a heavy duty, submersible stainless steel grey water pump, the Grundfos UNILIFT AP12.40.06.1 safely relocates non-aggressive liquids. The system functions optimally as a permanent installation within plumbing trenches or as a portable manual asset for clearing clean and storm water from active residential and light industrial sites.
Power delivery is optimized to maintain robust displacement during continuous pumping shifts. Connected to a 1 x 240 V single-phase supply, the 0.6 kW core operates smoothly with a rated draw of 4.4 Amps. The internal volute forcefully pushes a 300 L/Min maximum flow directly through a 40 mm female connection. Countering steep pipeline gravity, the generated internal pressure reliably secures a 13 metre maximum head.
Managing heavily clouded run-off relies on an unrestrictive internal design that inherently rejects clogs. A durable semi-open stainless steel impeller securely handles the primary vortex, safely passing solid environmental debris up to 12 mm. This expanded tolerance allows the manual pump to aggressively agitate standing liquids, extracting fluid down to a strict 100 mm minimum pumping clearance without risking physical damage to the core.
Deep submersion is fully supported by an IP68 rating, guaranteeing safe underwater placement down to 7 metres. An intelligent motor cooling jacket allows the unit to efficiently dissipate heat and operate safely during long partial submersion periods. Fabricated entirely from 304 stainless steel, it comfortably processes pH 4 to 10 liquids alongside 55°C continuous temperature thresholds and 70°C two-minute peaks.
FEATURES
- Features a heavy-duty brass cable union to strictly isolate the primary electrical feed from ambient moisture intrusion.
- Rated with an internal Class F insulation threshold to safely tolerate heavy electrical load fluctuations.
- Utilizes a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor architecture to ensure smooth rotational startup sequences.
- Equipped with internal thermal protection circuitry that acts as an immediate safety cutoff to prevent coil burnout.
- Pre-installed with a 10-metre power supply cable terminating in a standard single-phase plug for immediate deployment.
- Certified with C-Tick and CE compliance markings to guarantee strict adherence to recognized environmental standards.
- System features a physical net weight of 12.0 kg, providing excellent stability against vibration during extraction cycles.
