AMT Pump 5760-95 Submersible Shredder Sewage Pump, Cast Iron, 1 HP, 1 Phase, 115V, Curve A, 2" NPT Female Discharge Port

The AMT Pump 5760-95 submersible shredder sewage pump is a UL- and CSA-listed centrifugal pump constructed with cast iron, a stainless steel motor housing for resistance to corrosion, a carbide-tipped shredder impeller for durability, and a silicon carbide lower seal for resistance to corrosion, and is suitable for sewage drainage applications with up to 15% solids. It is equipped with double mechanical seals for protection of internal components, and measures 18.5 x 8.9 x 11.4 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top; W is width, the horizontal distance from one narrow side to the other; D is depth, the horizontal distance from the front of the discharge port to the back of the unit.) It is capable of transferring up to 130 gallons of fluid per minute (gpm) with zero total head at temperatures ranging from 40 to 104 degrees F (4 to 40 degrees C), and has a 40' maximum total head rating. This pump comes equipped with a 1 horsepower (HP), single-phase, 115 VAC motor with automatic restart thermal overload protection, rated for continuous duty at 3450 revolutions per minute (rpm) and fitted with a 18' three-prong power cord. It ships fully assembled and features a carrying handle and a 2" female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) discharge port for compatibility with most discharge hose assemblies. This pump is suitable for a wide range of sewage drainage applications such as sewage pumping stations, septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, dirty water drainage, flood, and emergency use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA.
