Hydraulic design principles utilizing six stages and two reduced impellers characterize this 8-inch submersible unit for industrial extraction. It provides pressure matched to specific lift requirements from borehole sources to industrial storage or agricultural networks. The unit is compatible with vertical installations in boreholes or horizontal deployment where the layout allows the motor to be in the lowest position. This model serves as an efficient extraction tool for sectors needing consistent flow.
The model achieves performance characteristics including a maximum head of 150 m and delivery rates reaching 1216 L/Min through its 125 mm discharge outlet. Power is supplied by a 30 kW motor drawing a current of 63.8 Amps from a 415v three-phase electrical supply. Efficiency occurs through a semi-axial hydraulic arrangement rotating at 2900 rpm for large-volume lifting from deep underground reservoirs. Technical performance values are verified based on clean water density.
Material integrity is maintained through cast AISI 316 Stainless Steel for wetted parts including the diffusers and suction casing. This variant features a Duplex Stainless Steel motor, providing durability in aggressive water conditions found in deep borehole wells. The assembly processes water containing suspended sand concentrations up to 100 g/m³ and is rated for temperatures of 25°C. A high-grade duplex stainless steel pump shaft is used to handle the torque generated during service.
The unit supports deep-well use up to 350 meters and features a 198 mm overall diameter including cable protection covers. A built-in non-return valve with a stainless steel spring is situated in the delivery head to prevent backflow and mechanical surges. Internal wear surfaces are managed by technopolymer POM-C wear rings and EPDM 70 bearing bushes supporting the shaft alignment. This electric pump is designed for continuous duty cycles in municipal infrastructure.
Features
- A duplex stainless steel taperlock system secures the impellers to the shaft for torque transfer.
- A stainless steel suction strainer excludes large particles from entering the hydraulic stages.
- Mechanical connection of the 8-inch motor follows NEMA standards for industrial system compatibility.
- Internal technopolymer POM-C wear rings maintain hydraulic clearances and reduce internal friction.
- The integrated non-return valve features a stainless steel spring to prevent fluid backflow.
- Stainless steel cable covers provide mechanical protection for motor power leads along the casing.
- EPDM 70 bearing bushes support the pump shaft assembly and handle mechanical loads during rotation.
