| Description |
Pump in cast-iron with single-channel impeller. This kind of impeller grants a good free passage for the solid and fibrous parts contained into the water but it gives also an higher flow and head than the "vortex" impeller. This model with an heavy duty construction, double mechanical seals and 1450 rpm motor can be used to pump heavy sewage water. |
| Use |
