10 Engine-pump assembly
11 Vortex impeller
The pumping station is equipped with several horizontal and vertical inlet
openings for 1 1/2’’ or 4’’ outside diameter piping (1) and 1 1/2’’ outside
diameter piping (2). The engine-pump assembly (10) carries the pumped
uid in the vertical discharge piping with an inside diameter of 2’’ or 4’’.
The ventilation duct (4) allows the tank to always remain at atmospheric
pressure.
Operating mode:
Euent enters the pumping station through the horizontal and vertical inlet
openings (1) (2). They accumulate in a gas-tight, smell-proof and watertight
plastic tank (6). Controlled by a level sensor (5) and a control box, euents
are carried away by vortex impeller (11) and automatically pumped, when
they reach a certain level in the tank, by one or two pumps, depending on
the model, (10) above the back-ow level to ow into the discharge line.
- SANICUBIC® 1 VX contains one pump with a vortex action.
- SANICUBIC® 2 VX contains two independant pumps, each with a clearance
of 50 mm. Both pumps operate each in turn, alternately. In case of
abnormal operation, both engines run simultaneously (or if one vortex
pump fails, the other takes over) .
Level sensor / Dip tube:
• 2 Long dip tubes
During normal operation, as soon as the euents reach the long tube’s
actuation level in the tank, the pumping system switches on.
• Short dip tube
During abnormal operation, if the euents reach the highest level in the
tank (short tube), an audible and visual alarm system is activated and the
pumping system switches on (if it is not faulty).
