For submerged dewatering in Fountain Aeration setups, the Orange Pumps SF100 Technopolymer Submersible Vortex Pump operates as a robust water transfer solution. It is configured for sumps, cellars, or pits, moving wastewater with soft solids safely. This submersible pump runs continuously in demanding drainage and utility environments.
Under full operating load, this Single-phase pump operates on 240v and draws 3.8 Amps rated current. The system generates up to Approximately 10 m maximum discharge pressure and a high volume capacity of Approximately 500 L/Min maximum water flow. The heavy-duty motor is constructed with a low temperature rise.
The mechanical configuration comprises a robust Technopolymer body housing a Open Impeller. It utilizes a triple-seal motor protection system consisting of dual seals in an oil bath and an additional lip seal in the pumping liquid. This provides a secure barrier against water ingress into the motor windings.
Designed for submerged installations, the pump is suitable for pits with a minimum dimension of Medium 80x40x50cm. It handles soft solids concentration up to the rated limit and operates with water temperatures up to Maximum 45°C. The encapsulated motor winding has inbuilt thermal protection.
