Summary

Product identification

The Ama-Porter is a fully floodable submersible motor pump designed for drainage and waste water applications. It features a close-coupled, single-stage design for vertical installation.

Main applications:

  • Drainage systems
  • Water extraction
  • Drainage

Fluids handled:

  • Grey water
  • Waste water containing long fibres and solid substances
  • Gas-containing fluids

Impeller types:

  • Free-flow impeller (Type F): Suitable for fluids containing solids and stringy material, as well as fluids with entrapped air or gas.
  • Impeller with cutter (Type S): Suitable for faeces, domestic sewage, and waste water containing long fibres.

Designation example: Ama-Porter SB 545 SE

  • Ama-Porter: Type series
  • S: Impeller type (F impeller if blank, S impeller if 'S')
  • B: Starting aid (Without start capacitor if blank, With start capacitor if 'B')
  • 5: Size (5_ _ for DN 50, 6_ _ for DN 65)
  • 01: Impeller size (example)
  • SE: Motor version (SE for Single-phase AC motor with float switch, NE for Single-phase AC motor without float switch, ND for Three-phase asynchronous motor without float switch)

Certifications:

  • Europe: Suitable for plants to Standard EN 12050-1
