Tackle solids handling sewage with this professional-grade submersible vortex pump, designed for heavy-duty municipal and industrial liquid management. It provides reliable liquid movement for the transfer of soiled liquids in wastewater treatment plants and sewer networks. The unit delivers exceptional service in environments where liquids contain high concentrations of suspended solids and fibrous filaments.
Pumping capability is driven by a high-output 4 kW motor configured for 415v three-phase supply, delivering dependable discharge performance for demanding duties. It achieves a maximum vertical head approx 16.3 m and maintains a flow capacity upto 1386 L/Min. These specifications ensure the pump manages significant lifting requirements in complex wastewater management systems.
The hydraulic configuration utilizes a set-back vortex impeller to create a powerful rotational vortex within the housing. This design helps reduce the risk of clogging by maintaining an open passage for solid materials to pass through the pump body without making constant contact with moving parts. This vortex action maintains high flow rates even when handling heavily polluted wastewater.
Constructed from Cast iron EN-GJL 250, the pump incorporates a stainless steel AISI 431 shaft and double mechanical seals in silicon carbide (2SiC). A 200 µm bi-epoxy coating protects exposed surfaces against abrasive operating environments, while ATEX certification permits installation in hazardous atmosphere locations.
FEATURES
- Type DG set-back vortex hydraulic configuration ensures wide free passage for solids and filaments in polluted wastewater.
- 2-pole motor with Class H insulation and IP68 protection for reliable high-speed operation.
- Cast iron EN-GJL 250 construction for the motor casing and pump body ensures long-term structural durability.
