Features
PUMP FEATURES:
The cast iron pump casing has a smooth waterway to insure maximum efficiency when handling sewage. Rabbeted construction insures complete alignment of the rotating element. The cast iron impeller is of non-clog design for handling water containing solids, and is balanced prior to assembly. The vertical discharge flange and gasket permit easy installation of plain-end discharge pipe.
MOTOR FEATURES:
Motors are available for 1750, 1150 and 870 R.P.M. operation with both single phase and three phase windings. Single phase motors are furnished with a separate capacitor box. All motors have prelubricated ball bearings. Explosion proof motors are also available.
They are rated for intermittent duty in air at full load, continuous duty in air at reduced load, and, if furnished with modified frames, for continuous duty in air at full load. Shaft and fasteners are stainless steel. End bracket and frame are cast iron. All leads are epoxy sealed.
Double seals provide protection for the electrical parts. If the outer seal fails, the inner seal protects the motor while water enters the oil-filled chamber. Optional moisture sensing probe can detect the entry of water into the chamber and sends a signal to the appropriate alarm.
Motors are furnished with 25-feet of power and control cable and grounding wire. The standard motors are rated for operation in 40 degrees C (104 F) water, but can be modified for higher ambient temperatures. Thermal protection is a standard feature.
QUICK-DISCONNECT FEATURES:
Each pump is furnished with a Quick-Disconnect assembly so that it can be easily lifted from the pit for inspection or service. Discharge piping and electrical connections need not be disturbed and the removal can be accomplished without anyone entering the sewage pit. The pump is lowered into the pit, held in position by its guide rail and automatically completes the discharge connection. The angled discharge mating flange is designed to assure a complete discharge seal.
