Commercial drainage and site dewatering tasks demand a robust submersible solution with high starting torque and superior hydraulic efficiency. This Zenit model is ideal for clearing slightly dirty liquids from commercial sumps, excavation areas, and large-scale seepage collection pits. Its three-phase configuration is specifically tailored for professional environments where continuous duty and electrical load balance are critical operational factors.
Performance specifications for this unit include a maximum flow rate of up to 540 L/Min and a maximum head of approximately 12.5 m. The 0.9 kW motor is optimized for 415v three-phase power, providing the high efficiency and stable torque behavior required for demanding drainage duty. This technical profile ensures consistent liquid transfer across the operating range, even during periods of heavy inflow.
An open channel impeller is at the core of the pump's hydraulic performance, enabling it to process slightly dirty water containing small suspended solids. This configuration ensures smooth fluid movement while minimizing the risk of internal blockages during site duty. The submerged installation assists motor cooling during continuous operation, allowing the pump to maintain efficiency during intensive site dewatering tasks.
The pump is constructed with a heavy cast iron EN-GJL 250 body and an AISI 431 stainless steel shaft for maximum durability. Leakage protection is managed by a mechanical seal in silicon carbide with an auxiliary lip seal for enhanced safety. Rated for liquid temperatures up to 40°C, the three-phase unit features a 50 mm vertical outlet for simplified site integration.
