Public utility stations requiring dependable water treatment solutions utilize the Lowara Flygt NP3085.160.MT461 for its superior solids-handling capability. This rail-mounted wastewater pump is engineered for semipermanent installations where automatic discharge connection and ease of service are priorities. It is specifically designed to manage dirty water containing abrasive particles, ensuring long-term operational stability in utility and industrial stations.
Performance is driven by a 2 kW three-phase motor producing a maximum head of 9.5 m and a maximum flow capacity of 2160 L/Min. Drawing a rated current of 4.8 Amps at 415v, the squirrel cage induction motor provides the consistent power required for industrial-scale waste management. The IP68-rated encapsulation allows for continuous immersion up to 20 meters, offering versatility for diverse installation depths.
At the heart of the design is the self-cleaning Adaptive N-hydraulic path, which prevents clogging through a dynamic clearing action during rotation. The impeller design works in conjunction with a relief groove to eject debris from the vanes, ensuring the pump maintains peak performance in fibrous media. This technology results in significantly lower operational costs and reduced frequency of unplanned maintenance cycles.
Mechanical protection is prioritized via a specialized Plug-in™ seal arrangement featuring cemented carbide faces to safeguard the internal electrical assembly. The physical build uses a heavy-duty gray cast iron frame with a stainless steel shaft for high structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Stator safety is enhanced by Class H insulation and winding-embedded thermal contacts that protect against thermal overload during extended duty.
