Advanced fluid routing capabilities define the Pedrollo VXCM20/50 VXCm Submersible Vortex pump, FBSP as a highly functional asset for demanding wastewater transfer. Operating around a refined hydraulic loop, the unit processes dirty water and suspended solids reliably. This design helps unrefined sewage and sludge mixtures move effectively.
To handle these intense circulation requirements, the system relies on a VORTEX impeller housed within a thick cast iron casing. Treated with cataphoresis, this material framework resists severe abrasion. Weighing 43.0 kg, the dense architectural casting provides necessary static weight to remain anchored during high-flow operations.
The stabilization of fluid velocity is supported by a double mechanical seal array, separated by a dedicated oil chamber. This precision tolerance setup limits moisture from compromising the drive components. The internal pump matrix generates a flow rate of 700 L/Min while sustaining a maximum effective head of 12.5 m across the pipeline.
Supplying power is a resilient 1.5 kW motor drawing 9 Amps on a single-phase supply line. The unit incorporates an external float switch to help automate activation cycles and reduce dry-running risks. Integrating through a 65 mm outlet, this configuration handles liquid temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius, using a 10-metre power cable.
