Defined by its fortified material structure, the Pedrollo MCM20/50 MCm Submersible Channel Pump, FBSP delivers functional durability. The housing is cast from thick iron, creating a rigid barrier against underground pressures. Utilizing a cataphoresis treatment, the unit resists chemical deterioration associated with exposure to untreated sewage and sludge mixtures.
Supporting static stability during extraction, this densely packed framework weighs 43.0 kg. This profile limits shifting inside subterranean pits, protecting the lifespan of internal tolerances. Engineers rely on this design to transfer fluids packed with short fibers and suspended solids effectively.
Inside the casting, the hydraulic load is processed by a TWO-CHANNEL impeller constructed from 304 stainless steel. This configuration expels debris through a 65 mm pipeline. Encapsulated by a double mechanical seal array divided by an oil chamber, the system accelerates liquids to produce a 900 L/Min flow rate and a 16 m head limit.
Driving the transfer is a 1.5 kW motor drawing 14 Amps over a single-phase supply. Designed for automated duty, the system includes an external float switch that regulates cycling. Accompanied by a 10-metre power cable, this configuration manages abrasive liquids reaching up to a limit of 40 degrees Celsius.
Features

- Equipped with a highly resilient TWO-CHANNEL impeller constructed entirely from 304 stainless steel
- Utilizes a highly responsive external float switch to fully automate demanding operational cycles
- Integrates a central oil chamber to perfectly separate the internal double mechanical seal limits
- Certified for fully submerged continuous deployment in aggressive fluids reaching up to 40 degrees
- Dry physical mass sits at exactly 43.0 kg to limit unwanted vibrations during fluid extraction
