Problematic solids such as sanitary towels, plastic bags, textiles and wood are being found more and more often in waste water. Pumping and sewage treatment plants are therefore increasingly reaching their limits; units get clogged up and break down. In times when low lifecycle costs are playing an ever more important role, HOMA Pumpenfabrik offers an energy efficient and reliable solution for areas where a high delivery head is required, but at the same time, a diverse range of solids are expected: the Alligator chopper pump series. In the 50 Hz version, a flow rate of up to 130 m³/h and a delivery head of up to 57 m can be achieved with power consumption of 5 to 12 kW. In the 60 Hz version, with power consumption of 8 to 20 kW, a flow rate of up to 140 m³/h and a delivery head of up to 82 m are possible.
Thanks to the use of highly durable chilled chrome cast iron, the main components that are subject to the most stress perform reliably even with abrasive substances such as sand. In addition, the hydraulics were optimally designed for the operating range using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to increase efficiency and to eliminate any possibility of solids building up, which can negatively impact performance and lead to costly pump failures.
HOMA will be presenting the new Alligator chopper pump series for the first time at IFAT 2022 in Munich. This and other innovations, such as the maintenance slide with sliding motor mount, will be explained and demonstrated by the HOMA sales team in Hall B1 at Stand 429/528.
