PFA Tank Pumps

Application

The PFA pumps are immersible, single-stage rotary pumps equipped with a single-sided centrifugal rotor. The pumps are designed to pump water, polluted liquid, faeces, and liquid manure, the density of which should not exceed 1100 kg/m3, the viscosity of which should not exceed 13 mm2/s, and precipitated fibre the length of which should not exceed 20 mm. The aggressiveness of the liquids pumped should not exceed the corrosion resistance level of the materials used to construct the unit.

The PFA pumps can be used:

  • in sewage treatment plants, as supporting units,
  • in horticulture,
  • on farms,
  • to empty home cesspits,
  • in rainwater development,
  • to drain flooded buildings/facilities,
  • to empty pools and tanks.

Production Specifications

Production specifications are marked: e  e1 e1 e2 meanings are as follows:

"e" - temperature of the pumped medium
"e1e1" - rotor type
"e2" - additional equipment

"e" = 1 Adapted for liquid at a temperature of 0 < t < 40oC
"e" = 2 Adapted for liquid at a temperature of 0 < t < 90oC

"e1e1" = 01 Single-sided centrifugal rotor

"e2" = 0 Optional equipment
"e2" = 1 Complete with electric equipment for pumps utilised in farms (M611 switch in G7 casing – IP65 class protection, plug, socket – IP57, and 10 meter wire)
"e2" = 2 Complete with electrical equipment for general use pumps

Construction

The PFA unit is a single-stage rotary centrifugal pump driven by a single-sided drive shaft, which is driven by an induction motor. The drive shaft is slide-mounted on a bearing installed in the main body of a pump. The drive shaft is covered with a casing pipe, which is an element linking the main body of the pump with the body of the motor connector. The main body of the pump is closed by an entry closure, which may also function as a base for the pump at the bottom of a tank. A holder with a hanger, which is screwed into the motor container's flange, is used to mount the pump unit in the container's opening; it also secures the motor against mechanical damage that might occur during transport or storage of the pump unit.
