Infrastructure cooling systems and high-lift industrial disposal stations require the specialized pressure profile of the Lowara Flygt NP3085.160.SH254. This rail-mounted super-head pump is engineered for deep installations where liquids must be transported against substantial vertical lift. It provides a reliable solution for handling contaminated media in power plants and large-scale utility stormwater stations without the risk of clogging.
Hydraulic performance is drive by a 2.4 kW motor at 415v, reaching a maximum head of 23 m and a maximum flow of 1170 L/Min. Drawing a rated current of 4.8 Amps, the three-phase induction motor provides stable torque for consistent high-pressure output across the curve. The motor is capable of up to 30 starts per hour, supporting high-demand automated systems that respond to fluctuating liquid levels.
Efficiency is maintained through the Adaptive N-hydraulic system, which uses an axial self-cleaning movement of the impeller to clear solids from the hydraulic path. By ejecting debris through a specialized relief groove, the pump avoids the clogs and efficiency drops common in traditional high-head sewage pumps. This capability ensures that the unit maintains high performance while significantly reducing energy consumption and operational maintenance.
Built with a heavy-duty gray cast iron frame and pump housing, the unit offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance in submerged environments. Sealing is managed by a dual mechanical Plug-in™ system with corrosion-resistant carbide faces to protect the electrical assembly. Stator safety is ensured by Class H insulation and internal thermal contacts that provide an automatic safety shut-off if winding temperatures exceed 125°C.
FEATURES
- Self-cleaning Adaptive N-hydraulic system designed for high-pressure transport and reliable solids handling.
- Rail Mount (NP) installation type for simplified deployment and automatic connection to discharge piping.
- Durable GJL-250 gray cast iron major parts providing superior structural mass and vibration damping.
- Internal thermal protection contacts with a 125°C opening threshold to protect against thermal damage.
- Reliable 2.4 kW squirrel cage induction motor with Class H insulation for stable high-head duty.
- Plug-in™ mechanical seal design with dual carbide faces providing a redundant moisture barrier.
- High-quality SUBCAB® power cable offering maximum tear resistance and chemical protection.
- Robust 80 mm discharge configuration optimized for high-lift sewage transfer and efficient waste flow.
