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 AP12.40.08.3 accurately serves this technical profile. Operating as a portable drainage asset or a permanent fixed transfer pump, it easily relocates vast volumes of clean water and storm water.
Taking advantage of three-phase energy distribution ensures maximum kinetic torque output without dangerous electrical lag. Wired to a 3 x 415 V supply, the upgraded 0.8 kW motor actively pulls 2.1 Amps to maintain strong internal pressure. This configuration delivers an intense 350 L/Min maximum flow out of the 40 mm female connection, securely establishing a 15 metre maximum head.
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.
Designed specifically 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 between pH 4 and 10.
FEATURES
- Supplied with a raw 10-metre power cable specifically tailored for hardwired three-phase commercial integration.
- Constructed from premium 304 stainless steel across all wetted parts to permanently resist corrosion.
