Product Overview
Heavy fire protection reserves from extremely deep 4-inch boreholes are the primary application for this submersible pump, serving critical infrastructure where reliable emergency water supply is essential. The floating impeller configuration supports continuous operation in groundwater containing suspended solids.
Connected to a 415V three-phase supply, the 4 kW motor draws 9.8 Amps during normal duty. Maximum flow reaches 140 L/Min with maximum head of 207 metres. The hydraulic performance supports fire protection system requirements effectively.
Floating stack construction processes liquids containing up to 150 g/m³ of suspended sand. The front wear ring works in conjunction with the floating impeller to improve abrasion resistance, while the hexagonal shaft provides effective impeller drive. A heavy-duty non-return valve is pre-installed at the top outlet.
Manufactured with a 304 Stainless Steel casing and technopolymer hydraulic components. The discharge head is precision-cast stainless steel. Supplied with a watertight thermal shrink kit for seamless electrical jointing.
