For irrigation networks and industrial pressure boosting, the Lowara 4ZN612/8-3 delivers 90.7 metres of head from a 4 kW motor. Its AISI 316 stainless steel wet end and 6-inch radial flow design withstand aggressive groundwater conditions while maintaining consistent performance. The compact 142 mm diameter fits standard borehole casings, and the replaceable coupling allows for straightforward maintenance.
The 415V three-phase motor draws 9.8 Amps and achieves 275 L/Min maximum flow. Performance tolerances comply with EN ISO 9906 Grade 3B. The 65 mm discharge port connects to standard pipework, while the integrated non-return valve prevents backflow when the motor stops.
AISI 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and abrasion. The suction strainer limits sand ingress to 100 g/m3, protecting the radial flow impeller and its removable wear ring. For servicing, the replaceable coupling allows component access without full pump extraction.
Weighing 40 kg, the pump maintains a maximum outer diameter of 142 mm including cable guard. Microcast stainless steel forms the head and motor support structure. Liquid temperature tolerance is 60°C, and the pump accepts both C4S and L6W motor configurations.
