Built around a thick cast iron housing enhanced with cataphoresis coating, the Pedrollo VXCM15/45 VXCm Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP represents high structural durability. This architectural casting withstands the chemical and physical abrasion found in environments handling dirty water and untreated sewage, shielding internal components.
Weighing 20.2 kg, this heavily reinforced unit is intended to support prolonged wastewater transfer cycles without severe vibration fatigue. The dense material construction allows the system to process unpredictable sludge mixtures and suspended solids reliably, supporting subterranean pits requiring continuous capability.
Deep within the hydraulic chamber, a high-clearance VORTEX impeller directs debris through the 50 mm outlet pipeline. This geometry is secured by a double mechanical seal system separated by a protective oil chamber. The unit maintains stability while delivering a flow rate of 650 L/Min and a head pressure of 11 m.
Designed to automate demanding sanitation workloads, the efficient single-phase electrical infrastructure utilizes a 1.1 kW motor pulling 7.4 Amps. Equipped with an integrated external float switch for liquid level monitoring, the system protects itself against dry running while accommodating fluids up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Features
- Manufactured with a thick cast iron body featuring cataphoresis treatment for structural longevity
- Integrates an external float switch system for highly automated operational liquid level control
- Configured with a 50 mm outlet to match required high-volume commercial pipeline sizes
- Engineered to easily handle dense fluids up to an absolute maximum of 40 degrees Celsius
- Equipped with an advanced double mechanical seal isolated by an oil chamber for drive protection
- Total dry unit mass sits at 20.2 kg due to the heavy structural metal housing components
