Submersible pump for moving large volumes of water
AmaCan D (photo) is a new submersible pump in discharge tube with an open multi-vane impeller. Its main application is transporting large volumes of municipal or industrial water, as well as wastewater from stormwater, drainage and irrigation pumping stations. When selected with optional corrosion-resistant and abrasion-resistant materials, the new series can also be used in water pollution and flood control or in seawater aquaculture systems. The pump generates a maximum flowrate of 8,000 m3/h and a maximum discharge head of about 30 m. The highest motor rating available as standard is 340 kW. All electric motors are of an efficiency corresponding to class IE3 for standardized motors to IEC 60034-30. Two bi-directional mechanical seals reliably prevent water ingress into the motor space. — KSB SE & Co. KGaA, Frankenthal, Germany
