Addressing long-term operating cost scaling, the Pedrollo VXC15/35-N VXC Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP provides functional infrastructure value. This three-phase unit is tuned to balance consumption while delivering consistent force. Designed to manage tasks involving dense sewage, it helps prevent mechanical stalling in heavy wastewater processing.
Environmental protection is prioritized through a thick cast iron body reinforced with cataphoresis treatment. By surrounding internal mechanisms with this heavy-duty barrier, degradation from sludge mixtures is mitigated. Weighing 18.3 kg, the dense casting dissipates heat and helps reduce vibrations when placed in holding pits.
Internal stability is supported by a VORTEX impeller operating in tandem with a double mechanical seal setup. Separated by an isolated oil chamber, this architecture protects moisture from crossing into the motor cavity. These components accelerate liquids to achieve a 500 L/Min flow and a 13.5 m head limit.
The electrical footprint relies on a dynamic 1.1 kW motor pulling 3 Amps across a 415v connection. Designed for continuous immersion with a 10-metre power cable, this automated-ready unit connects to external panels. Interfacing through a 40 mm pipeline, it safely manages fluids up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Features
- Manufactured from dense cast iron protected by an advanced cataphoresis protective coating
- Utilizes a high-clearance VORTEX impeller geometry configured for seamless debris passage
- Employs a fully isolated double mechanical seal array featuring a central oil bath for shaft safety
- Optimized 40 mm fluid outlet provides direct compatibility with commercial plumbing pipelines
- Designed to process aggressive effluent safely at a maximum continuous limit of 40 degrees Celsius
- Dry unit weight rests at exactly 18.3 kg to provide functional and reliable installation stability
