Utility pits and construction sites requiring high-abrasive water management utilize the Lowara Flygt 2640 MT-K for its specialized open-hydraulic design. This medium-head drainage pump is engineered to handle liquids with high sediment and grit concentrations without the risk of hydraulic blockage. It provides a robust and dependable solution for civil infrastructure sites and industrial facility managers needing rapid site dewatering in high-wear conditions.
Hydraulic delivery is driven by a 5.6 kW three-phase motor producing a maximum head of 27 m and a maximum flow rate of 2640 L/Min. Operating at 415v with a rated current of 10 Amps, the induction motor provides the high torque needed for handling contaminated media. The squirrel cage motor is built for continuous duty and can support automated pumping cycles with up to 30 starts per hour in demand-driven systems.
At the heart of the pump is a specialized Hard-Iron® open impeller designed specifically for non-clogging performance in high-wear environments. This configuration works with a specialized suction cover to maintain hydraulic performance and resist the abrasive effects of site water. By ejecting debris from the hydraulic path during rotation, the pump ensures that efficiency remains high and energy consumption is minimized during prolonged dewatering cycles.
Construction features a rugged stainless steel outer casing for excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Sealing is managed by an aluminium Plug-in™ system with tungsten carbide faces to protect the motor from moisture ingress. Motor safety is reinforced by Class H stator insulation (180°C) and integrated thermal contacts that trigger an automatic safety shut-off if internal temperatures reached the 140°C threshold.
