Intended for large-scale sediment removal in industrial sumps and wastewater treatment plants. The side discharge configuration integrates with fixed piping networks for the removal of dense slurries and settled solids in iron works. This construction is designed for permanent installations where reliable water and slurry management is essential.
Driven by a 15 kW 415v motor, the unit achieves a maximum head of up to 21.5 m and a maximum flow of up to 4110 L/Min through a 100 mm discharge. It handles abrasive liquids with a maximum dry matter content of 25% and maintains hydraulic stability across a pH range of 5 to 9. The 4-pole motor provides the torque required for consistent volume in heavy-duty service.
A high-chromium cast iron agitator continuously re-suspends sediment to ensure continuous intake at the pump base. The spiral side discharge casing maintains uninterrupted movement of solids up to 30 mm while lowering hydraulic losses within the pump housing. This flow path protects the internal casing from the erosive force caused by the impact of abrasive particles.
Construction features include an abrasion-resistant high-chromium cast iron impeller and suction plate. A motor cooling jacket facilitates heat dissipation, allowing for reliable operation during partially exposed conditions. Available options include high-temperature liquid handling up to 80°C and 1000V motor configurations for specialized site requirements.
FEATURES
- High-chromium cast iron agitator stir solids into a pumpable mixture to maintain constant suction.
- Spiral side discharge casing optimizes the passage of solids while reducing internal mechanical wear.
- Integrated water jacket allows the 15 kW motor to run safely in air during sump drawdown.
- Impeller and suction plate are manufactured from high-chromium cast iron for superior erosion resistance.
- Direct-on-Line (D.O.L.) starting method provides reliable operation in industrial electrical environments.
- Side discharge design is compatible with guide rail fitting systems to facilitate rapid pump removal.
- 4-pole motor provides the required torque characteristics for moving high-density industrial slurries.
- Class F insulation supports continuous duty in environments with fluctuating water and slurry levels.
