Stormwater management and high-pressure waste transport tasks utilize the Lowara Flygt NP3085.160.SH253 for its exceptional super-head performance. This rail-mounted unit excels in applications requiring high hydraulic pressure, such as deep wet well evacuation or pumping against significant vertical elevation. It provides a robust solution for utility and industrial sites where reliable high-lift water removal is an operational priority.
A 2.4 kW three-phase motor generates the hydraulic power for this model, delivering a maximum head of 24 m and a maximum flow rate of 1230 L/Min. With a rated current of 4.8 Amps at 415v, the squirrel cage induction motor is built for heavy-duty service and continuous running. The motor’s IP68 encapsulation allows for continuous immersion up to 20 meters, providing stable operation in deep pit environments.
The pump’s self-cleaning capability is powered by the Adaptive N-hydraulic system, which clearing solids dynamically through a relief groove technology. This non-clogging design ensures that the pump sustains high efficiency even when processing wastewater with significant solid concentrations. This mechanism reduces the risk of motor overload and minimizes the need for frequent manual pump inspections or cleaning cycles.
Construction utilizes high-density gray cast iron for the housing and body, providing the structural mass needed for vibration control and thermal dissipation. Sealing is managed by a Plug-in™ mechanical seal with dual cemented carbide faces for superior motor protection against moisture. Safety is reinforced by Class H stator insulation and winding-embedded thermal contacts that trigger a shutdown if temperatures reach 125°C.
FEATURES
- Super-head Adaptive N-hydraulic system engineered for high-pressure sewage transport and non-clogging operation.
