Governing internal fluid velocity paths in challenging blackwater scenarios is critical. The Grundfos UNILIFT APG 40 10 3 single-stage submersible pumps, designed for pumping domestic wastewater in pressurised systems, master these dynamics. Facilities utilizing pumping stations demand the solid-reduction capabilities of the professional grinder system. By cutting suspended solids into smaller fragments, the pump ensures velocities remain efficient.
Thermodynamic behavior is regulated by a three phase 415v electrical architecture. Operating with a current draw of 2.8 Amps, the drive translates 1 kW of power into mechanical force. The lightweight motor features in-built protection mechanisms that actively dissipate thermal load. Secure mechanical shaft seals isolate internal electronics from the medium.
Displacement metrics highlight exceptional engineering tolerances. Generating a maximum head of approximately 26 meters, the unit pushes wastewater against steep gravity gradients. The system guarantees a peak flow rate of 210 L/Min, clearing basins through a 40 mm outlet port. This high-velocity output allows the usage of reduced diameter piping, preventing organic settling.
Delivering reliability, the pump integrates a heavy cast-iron base to resist continuous abrasion. Safe for operation in liquid temperatures up to 40°C, the system interfaces with an airtight odour-proof collecting tank to block gaseous emissions. The semi open vortex impeller prevents fibrous binding, ensuring sewage is transferred predictably and cutting installation time.
Features
- Powered by an efficient three phase configuration designed to maintain consistent torque without voltage drops
- Manufactured without an integrated float switch to allow seamless integration into automated multi-pump controller systems
- Equipped with a highly durable cast-iron pumping base to withstand impacts from heavy suspended solids
- Utilizes precision-machined mechanical shaft seals to permanently secure the motor housing from fluid ingress
- Reduces overall system installation costs by enabling the use of minimum DN32 discharge pipe networks
- Features a robust 25 kg construction that remains incredibly easy to handle during routine pit maintenance
