  Construction

  Propeller

  2- or 3-bladed propeller made of solid or composite material. Nominal propeller diameter of 500 mm to 1200 mm with clogging-free propeller geometry.

  Motor

  Surface-cooled submersible motor in three-phase current design with permanently lubricated und large-size rolling bearings. The motor winding is equipped with temperature monitoring. The motor heat is given off directly to the surrounding fluid via the motor housing. The connection cable is designed for heavy mechanical loads, sealed water pressure-tight against the fluid and is sealed longitudinally watertight. The connection cable has bare cable ends and is 10 m (33 ft) long as standard.

  Seal

  The system is sealed by a 3-chamber system:

  • Pre-chamberThe high-volume pre-chamber has been filled with gear oil to absorb any leakage at the seal on the fluid side. A mechanical seal is used as the seal on the fluid side. A rotary shaft seal seals towards the gear chamber.
  • Gear chamberThe gear chamber has been filled with gear oil to guarantee continuous lubrication of the planetary gear and the gear bearings. A mechanical seal seals towards the sealing chamber.
  • Sealing chamberThe high-volume sealing chamber is filled with white oil and absorbs any leakage from the gear chamber. A rotary shaft seal seals towards the motor.

  Gear

  Single-stage planetary gear with exchangeable transmission. Gear bearings have been dimensioned large to absorb resulting stirring forces and not transfer these to the motor bearing.
