Defined by its structural material choice, the Pedrollo VXC20/50 VXC Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP features a thick cast iron body intended for commercial environments. Treated with a cataphoresis coating, the casing acts as a shield against corrosion and abrasion common to dirty water and sewage processing applications.
Providing physical stability, the total unit weight registers at 42.0 kg. This material density helps the pump securely anchor itself at the bottom of subterranean municipal trenches. By reducing physical vibration during high-flow cycles, the dense metal housing allows the system to continuously process thick wastewater.
The thermodynamic fluid velocity is managed by a specialized cast iron VORTEX impeller. This wide-clearance architecture works alongside a double mechanical seal layout partitioned by an oil chamber. Safeguarding the rotational axis, this matrix generates a maximum flow extraction of 700 L/Min while maintaining a vertical lift pressure of 12.5 m.
The three-phase architecture provides power through a resilient 1.5 kW motor, pulling 3.7 Amps across a 415v supply. Engineered with a 65 mm outlet connection, this system interfaces with commercial plumbing loops. Equipped with a 10-metre cable, it is configured to handle fluid temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Features
- Manufactured entirely from thick cast iron featuring enhanced cataphoresis abrasion protection
- Designed specifically with a dedicated VORTEX impeller to help prevent internal fiber blockages
- Features a highly effective double mechanical seal partitioned directly by an internal oil bath
- Constructed with a large 65 mm fluid outlet for necessary high-volume pipeline compatibility
- Operates safely and continuously within challenging environmental temperatures up to 40 degrees
- Records a functional unit weight of 42.0 kg to limit shifting in turbulent underground trenches
