Submersible sludge, drainage pump 50 KBFU - 2,2

Product detailed description

This submersible sludge pump is commonly used in construction for dewatering excavations and managing high-sediment water. It is designed for installation in pits, trenches, and other areas where water accumulation needs to be controlled. The pump is suitable for use in temporary or semi-permanent drainage systems and can be integrated into larger pumping networks for site dewatering. It is particularly useful in environments where water contains significant sand or silt, as it is built to handle such media without clogging or excessive wear.

Its robust construction and cooling jacket-style housing allow it to operate even when partially submerged, making it adaptable to fluctuating water levels. The pump is intended for use by professional installers and technicians in civil engineering, infrastructure, and building projects where reliable dewatering is essential. It is not suitable for continuous operation in fully dry conditions or for pumping highly viscous or fibrous materials.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with placing the pump in the designated water source, ensuring it is fully submerged for optimal performance. The pump must be connected to a 230 V power supply using the included 10 m cable. The cable should be routed securely to prevent damage from water or mechanical stress. The pump should be positioned so that the intake is not obstructed and the outlet is directed away from the pump body to prevent recirculation.

Common installation mistakes include improper submersion, which can lead to overheating, and incorrect electrical connections, which may cause motor failure. The pump should be checked for secure mounting and cable integrity before operation. It is recommended to install a non-return valve at the discharge to prevent backflow when the pump is not in use.

Compatibility and accessories

This pump is compatible with standard drainage systems and can be connected to flexible or rigid discharge pipes with appropriate fittings. It is typically used in conjunction with control systems such as float switches to automate operation based on water level. Additional accessories such as extension cables, junction boxes, or protective enclosures may be required depending on the installation environment.

Technical background for designers

The IBO 50 KBFU - 2,2 operates using a centrifugal pump mechanism, where the impeller generates flow and pressure by rotating within the pump housing. The pump is constructed with durable materials to withstand abrasive media such as sand and silt. The cooling jacket-style housing helps dissipate heat, allowing the pump to function even when partially submerged. The motor is sealed to prevent water ingress and is designed for intermittent operation in wet conditions.

Integration into a system requires consideration of the pump's flow and head characteristics to ensure it meets the hydraulic demands of the installation. The pump's performance is affected by the viscosity and particle content of the pumped medium, as well as the condition of the intake and discharge piping. Regular inspection of the pump's intake screen and discharge valve is recommended to maintain efficiency and prevent blockages.

Service and operation

While the pump is designed for durability, regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued performance. The intake screen should be checked for blockages, and the discharge valve should be verified for proper operation. The pump should be removed periodically for visual inspection of the housing and motor for signs of wear or damage. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but maintenance should be performed as needed based on usage conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IBO 50 KBFU - 2,2 be used in water with high sand content?
Yes, the pump is specifically designed for water with high sand content and can handle such media without clogging or excessive wear.

Is the pump suitable for operation when partially submerged?
Yes, the cooling jacket-style housing allows the pump to operate effectively even when only partially submerged.

What type of electrical connection is required?
The pump operates at 230 V and requires a standard single-phase electrical connection. The included 10 m power cable allows for flexible positioning.

Can the pump be used in fully dry conditions?
No, the pump is not suitable for operation in fully dry conditions. It requires sufficient submersion to function properly and avoid overheating.
