SP 20 Submersible Sludge Pump

Sykes SP20 electric submersible sludge pump delivers a maximum flow of 9.5l/s at a head of up to 13m. Constructed from cast aluminium with an iron vortex flow impeller and pump casing this robust pump weighs just 29Kg.

These pumps are ideal for wastewater handling and dewatering at all kinds of construction sites - from the smallest building project through to power stations, utility processes, manufacturing and wastewater industries. Their easy handling, small size and excellent capacity make them ideal for manhole emptying and bypass pumping, amongst many other uses. When equipment is out of commission or additional capacity is required, water utility companies use these units for forward pumping in their process and return pumping for RAS and other light sludges within their treatment process.

Fitted with 20m of cable and a 32A 4 pin appliance inlet, this pump is ready for plug and pump. The motor incorporates thermal sensors providing over-temperature protection if left running for prolonged periods with no water present.

Our sludge pumps require minimal maintenance providing trouble free pumping for months on end, meaning that for most applications the pumps do not need to be disturbed for the duration of the scheme. When used with a Sykes control panel the pumps can benefit from automatic level control and additional overload protection. Automatic control ensures the pumps only run when required reducing energy usage.
