New-generation pumps from Grindex

Grindex have introduced a new generation of submersible drainage pumps, which, they claim, offer at least three times more wear resistance than previous-generation units. The company says this level of performance has been achieved by preventing abrasive

Moreover, a newly designed hydraulic section with closed impeller is said to dramatically reduce the performance drop caused by long-term wear, making the new pumps capable of operation in highly demanding applications with maintained capacity.

The new design also allows easy adjustment of the impeller to regain optimal performance, which simplifies servicing and ensures stable dewatering throughout the pump’s entire life, while a new, easy-to-fit cartridge seal further simplifies service routin

‘With this new generation, our customers can save money because the pumps last longer,’ explained Peter Schmid, managing director of Grindex. ‘Thanks to increased wear resistance, the pumps retain a higher capacity than the previous generation and, theref

As with earlier models, the new pumps still feature Grindex’s SMART electronic motor-guard surveillance system, which contributes to longevity and reliability by stopping the pump should phase drop-out, overheating or overloading occur. Another refinement

The new pumps also feature an ergonomic design, which makes them easier to handle, and are fitted with rubber shock absorbers to help protect vulnerable parts from impact damage.

The drainage pumps are the first models in the new Grindex pump line; these will be followed by a new generation of sludge pumps later this year. As with their earlier models, however, Grindex say a drainage pump can be converted to a sludge pump and vice
