For water distribution, washing systems and mine applications where enhanced motor protection is required, the Lowara Z855-02/2A-3S combines a 304 stainless steel pump end with a 316 stainless steel motor housing. This 8-inch submersible electric pump uses two reduced diameter impellers to deliver 1217 L/Min flow and 42.9 m maximum head.
Semi-axial hydraulics with stainless steel impellers and diffusers manage fluid movement, while technopolymer POM-C wear rings and an AISI 431 shaft provide mechanical integrity. The 316 stainless steel motor offers superior corrosion resistance in aggressive borehole conditions. The unit handles suspended solids up to 100 g/m³ at temperatures up to 25°C.
A 7.5 kW L6W motor runs on a 415v three-phase supply at 17 Amps, with NEMA-standard coupling and flange dimensions. The motor is rated for immersion depths up to 350 metres, with an integrated non-return valve in the delivery casing to prevent reverse flow. Removable wear rings and a duplex stainless steel shaft coupling aid maintenance.
