Useful Information regarding the Use of the Pump
The HYCON submersible pump is compact and light and offers high performance.
The 2” pump weighs only 7.7 kg and pumps up to 35 m³ per hour, the 3” pump
weighs only 11 kg and pumps up to 84 m³ per hour and the 4” pump weighs 26.7 kg
and pumps up to 127 m³ per hour. Only hydraulic submersible pumps have such
high performance in relation to size.
HYCON submersible pumps are perfect tools for pumping all kinds of fluids –
especially dirty fluids. The pumps are VORTEX pumps, which are designed specifical-
ly to pump dirty fluids, without a need for extra maintenance and without reducing
the lifetime of the pump and its components.
The 2” pump can pump solids up to ø38 mm, the 3” pump solids up to ø63 mm and
the 4” pump solids up to ø74 mm.
The pump can be used for many purposes and in many connections. In this respect
an important feature of the pump is that it will not give any sparks. The construction
of the pump allows it to run dry without damage.
The drop in the curves is when the pump meets the pressure limit of 172 bar
pressure. Example the 2” pump at 30 lpm will not be able to pump more than 35
m3/h but will have that flow up to a lift height (Head) of 10 meters, before
decreasing in pumped flow.
