Infrastructure managers requiring sustained high efficiency in contaminated media utilize the Lowara Flygt NP3102.160-MT460 for demanding industrial wastewater transport. This rail-mounted pump is specifically engineered for semipermanent wet well installations, providing a stable platform for handling liquids with diverse solid content. It focuses on maximizing operational uptime by preventing the hydraulic failures common in standard waste pumps.
Operating with a 3.1 kW three-phase motor at 415v, the pump achieves a maximum flow rate of 3150 L/Min and a maximum head of 15.2 m. The rated current is 6.8 Amps, providing the necessary power for medium-head duties and difficult solids handling scenarios. Capable of up to 30 starts per hour, the motor is ideal for automated systems that require frequent activation based on liquid level regulators.
Hydraulic stability is powered by the Adaptive N-hydraulic system, which uses a self-cleaning impeller design to clear solids through a relief groove. This technology prevents the buildup of fibrous materials around the impeller, ensuring consistent flow and preventing efficiency drops during rotation. This capability is essential for processing media with high solid concentrations while keeping maintenance requirements and energy costs at a minimum.
Durability is ensured by a rugged gray cast iron frame and pump housing, offering superior structural mass and vibration damping in submerged environments. The unit features a Plug-in™ seal system with dual cemented carbide faces for a redundant barrier against liquid ingress. The electrical assembly is safeguard by Class H stator insulation and winding-embedded thermal contacts that provide a reliable shut-off in the event of overheating.
FEATURES
- Sustained-efficiency Adaptive N-hydraulic system with self-cleaning action for non-clogging service.
