3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT AND USE
3.1 Technical, operational characteristics
and fields of use
Submersible electric pumps px and magna series are particularly designed to pump clean and dirty water.
vort and vorx series are particularly designed to pump clean water, dirty water and sewage. prnh series,
with cutter, are suita bi e to cut solids in the liquid to pump, avo id the clogging in small diameter pipes.
The free passage of the impeller, or of the strainer, establish the maximum size of the solids in
suspension that can be conveyed by the pump. The asynchronous electric motor with squirrel cage rotor
and class F of insulation (Tmax 155
°
( or 310
°
F),is submersible with protection degree IP68 in compliance
with IEC 529 specifìcations. px series is equipped with a permanent magnet motor (12V; 24V direct
current DC)

- liquids with a temperature exceeding 40
°
( (104
°
F);
- an immersion depth exceeding 20 m;
- pumped liquids with a pH value of other than 6-1 O (5-8 far series HYDRO);
