Product Overview
Extreme high-head applications for municipal water supply and industrial processes demand pumps with exceptional hydraulic capability. The Lowara ZN646/16-3N delivers 162.8 metres of shut-off head from its 6-inch wet end, with a 26 kW motor and NEMA coupling configuration that provides substantial power for the most demanding applications. Water is transferred through the radial flow stages efficiently across the operating range.
The pump incorporates AISI 316 stainless steel throughout the wet end, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasive wear. The impeller and diffuser arrangement includes a removable wear ring for simplified maintenance, while the integrated non-return valve prevents backflow. The suction strainer limits suspended sand ingress to 100 grams per cubic metre, protecting internal clearances.
Driven by a 26 kW three-phase motor at 415V, the pump draws 56.5 Amps and achieves 162.8 metres of shut-off head. Flow capacity reaches 1000 L/Min through the 80 mm discharge port. Hydraulic performance complies with EN ISO 9906 Grade 3B tolerances for consistent output.
Class F insulation with IP68 rating supports immersion depths to 350 metres. The Duplex stainless steel shaft provides mechanical strength, while AISI 316L tie rods offer structural integrity. Safety hook holes facilitate installation, and NEMA motor compatibility simplifies assembly.
