Product Overview
The Pedrollo VXC20/70-F VXC Submersible Vortex Pump, Guide Rail supports commercial drainage. Developed for facilities managing dirty water with suspended solids, this unit processes unrefined sewage and sludge mixtures. By stabilizing fluid pathways, it helps reduce stalling associated with untreated effluent transfer.
Supporting continuous operation in challenging environments, the casing relies on a heavy-gauge cast iron construction fortified by a cataphoresis treatment. This architectural casting isolates internal mechanics from abrasion. Weighing 39.5 kg, the dense structural housing provides static stability, supporting stationary operation during high-volume processing.
Internal fluid velocity is managed by a cast iron VORTEX impeller tailored for wide-clearance movement. This assembly is protected by a double mechanical seal partitioned by an oil chamber, limiting moisture intrusion. These components accelerate liquids to generate a flow capacity of 1000 L/min while accommodating fluid extraction up to a 7.4 m head limit.
Electrical power is managed by a 1.5 kW three-phase motor drawing 4.2 Amps on a 415v line. Featuring an 80 mm port, the unit helps reduce back pressure. Furnished with a 10-metre cable, this platform handles immersion in liquids up to 40 degrees Celsius, and is configured for guide rail installations using an automatic coupling arrangement.
