Product Overview
High-volume extraction duties on light industrial sites require specifically engineered displacement hardware. Designated as a heavy duty, submersible stainless steel grey water pump, the Grundfos UNILIFT AP12.40.08.1 accurately serves this technical profile. Operating as a portable drainage asset or a permanent fixed transfer pump, it relocates vast volumes of clean water, storm water, and slightly dirty wastewater.
Taking advantage of an upgraded single-phase drive ensures maximum kinetic torque output without electrical lag. Wired to a 1 x 240 V supply, the robust 0.8 kW motor actively pulls 5.9 Amps to maintain strong internal pressure. This configuration delivers an intense 350 L/Min maximum flow directly out of the 40 mm female connection, securely establishing a 15 metre maximum head against vertical resistance.
Routing heavy volumes of slightly dirty run-off requires an expanded internal transit loop. A resilient semi-open stainless steel impeller aggressively commands the main flow, accommodating the continuous passage of solid environmental debris up to 12 mm. By effectively widening the hydraulic clearance, the manual pump avoids rotational jams and successfully pulls standing pools down to a 100 mm depth without stalling the shaft.
Designed to withstand rigorous submerged conditions, the IP68-rated motor operates securely at a 7-metre maximum installation depth. A surrounding motor cooling jacket intelligently utilizes passing fluid to reject excess thermal heat, permitting safe operation during extended partial submersion. Fabricated fully from 304 stainless steel, it easily commands 55°C liquids (up to 70°C for two minutes) and processes pH 4 to 10 chemical ranges.
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.
- Structurally designed with a 13.2 kg net weight to anchor the unit safely during high-velocity extraction operations.
