Overview

The Sulzer ABS Piranha PE Series is a premium Submersible Grinder Pump with Premium Efficiency IE3 motors, Sulzer was the first company in the world to offer Premium Efficiency IE3 submersible motors to achieve the perfect balance of reliability and energy consumption. The Piranha pumps have proven themselves to be one of the market’s best ongoing performers with an effective cutting system that results in zero blockages and low life cycle costs from initial purchase through ongoing operation.

Sulzer ABS Piranha PE pumps provide a means of effective and economical wastewater transport utilising small-diameter discharge pipes as opposed to larger diameter pipes required for gravity systems.

The ABS Piranha PE is equipped with a water-tight, fully encapsulated, flood-proof Premium Efficiency Motor (IE3) in accordance to IEC 60034-30. Benefits include low life cycle costs through energy savings, significant CO2 footprint reduction and increased lifetime due to low winding temperature rise.

Key features

Unique shredding system capable of shredding items such as cloths and plastic bags

Efficient pumping of wastewater containing sewage and offal, as well as organic and industrial effluent

Piranha PE pumps are ideally suited for the following applications:

Private residences and community subdivisions

Municipal wastewater transport

Commercial wastewater handling of domestic sewage in business parks, restaurants, hospitals, industrial areas, etc.

Industrial wastewater handling of industrial areas, slaughter houses, food processing plants, paper mills, agricultural applications, etc.

Hazardous locations requiring certification in accordance with ATEX (EX II 2 G k Ex d IIB T4)

Construction data

Piranha cutting system provides optimum, blockage-free operation

Piranha PE fitted with Premium Efficiency Motor (IE3) in accordance to IEC 60034-30

Piranha-PE series have been designed for continuous operation S1 when either submerged or dry-installed

Seal leak detection system – Advanced warning prior to water entering the motor – Temperature and leakage relays are required

Double mechanical seal – Silicon carbide/silicon carbide (SiC/SiC) provides maximum resistance from abrasives

SiC/SiC mechanical seal is chemical resistant in wastewater and most other industrial applications

Small diameter discharge – DN32 (1¼ inch threaded insert optional) and DN50/2 inch DIN-flanged

Explosion proof versions to ATEX (EX II 2 G k Ex d IIB T4) – Please call for prices on EX versions

Thermal sensors are embedded in the stator windings and can be used to shut the pump off in case of overheating and automatically switch back on once cooled

Quick and easy changing or repair of the power cable, by means of an integrated 10-pole, quick disconnect, terminal block

Lubricated-for-life, heavy-duty, ball bearings

Premium Efficiency IE3 with NEMA Class A temperature rise, insulation class H, protection type IP 68, Ex only

Stainless steel rotor shaft supported in lubricated-for-life ball bearings

Adjustable bottom plate – the optimum clearance between the bottom plate and the impeller can easily be adjusted

Piranha cutter

The Piranha PE series cutter system features a completely different concept in grinder pump design, The design consists of a lobed rotor cutting element attached to a centrifugal impeller working in tandem with a stationary cutting element fastened to a spiral-grooved bottom plate.

The lobed rotor turns inside the stationary cutter designed with wave-shaped castellations. The number of waves is one less than the number of lobes on the rotor. This causes an opening to be formed between the rotor and stationary cutter.

The normal pumping action of the impeller causes water and solids to flow into the cutting elements and as the solids are sheared into small particles, they are pumped by the impeller into the discharge pipe. Should any of the finely cut particles try to wedge between the impeller and bottom plate, the outward threaded spiral grooves will move them to the discharge.
