Perfect impeller rotation ensures reduced wear over time
The submersible drainage pump XJ 40 is ideal for pumping water and dirty water mixed with light abrasives. Pumps with built in AquaTronic unit will always have correct direction of impeller rotation, ensuring peak performance and reduced wear. 50 Hz: head max 34 meters, flow max 23 l/s. 60 Hz: head max 36 meters (118 feet), flow max 22 l/s (349 gpm).
Plug-and-pump installation without having to worry about overheating.
Reliable, trouble-free operation also at low water levels.
Pumps with built-in AquaTronic unit will adjust incorrect phase order, ensuring correct impeller rotation.
Modular design increases serviceability and makes it easy to convert the pump for different hydraulic requirements. Pumps with built-in AquaTronic can be checked without disassembly, using its service software.
The AquaTronic unit (AT) replaces the built-in contactor in the basic pump configurations and ensures that the motor always rotates correctly, no matter how the phases are connected. Key benefits of the AquaTronic unit include:
Correction of motor rotation if phases are improperly connected
Run mode (no panel needed)
Integrated start equipment (direct or soft start depending on pump model)
Motor protection against high temperature, high amperage and missing phase
Anti-clog function
If the pump is also equipped with an optional level sensor, AquaTronic provides:
Precise level control
Protection against dry running
Energy save mode (energy is saved through stopping at dry run and starting by level sensor)
AquaTronic service diagnostic program
Connecting a PC to the AquaTronic unit via USB cable provides access to the service diagnostic program, which offers:
Pump status data, pump operating history, pump failure history, pump service/maintenance history, digital manual and spare part documentation
AquaPlug (50 Hz only)
AquaPlug is an option that combines with AquaTronic to provide additional alarm and start/stop functions, as well as indications for important parameters.
The world’s smartest dewatering pumps for applications in mines, construction sites and tunnels are equipped with the innovative AquaTronic. AquaTronic ensures correct motor rotation, gives motor protection, allows the pump to start via a level sensor, and gives you all the pump performance information in your PC, plus much more.
XJ40 AT: Direct on line start (DOL 230-550 V 50 Hz / 230-575 V 60 Hz) with built in AquaTronic unit, which automatically adjusts phase order by dual contactors, ensuring correct motor rotation.
The AquaTronic unit monitors motor temperature, by use of NTC thermistors built into stator windings, and stops the motor at high temperature. It will also stop the motor at high amperage or if a phase is missing.
XJ40: Direct on line start with built in contactor. Pumps to be used with VFD or 1,000 V must have terminal block instead of contactor. Thermal switches (140ºC / 284ºF, ±5) built into the stator windings are connected to the contactor and stops the pump at high temperature.
Plug in without having to worry about overheating. Built-in contactor and thermal sensors protect the motor from overheating. Pumps with a built-in AquaTronic unit will adjust electronically for incorrect phase order, ensuring correct impeller rotation.
Reliable and trouble-free operation
A double outer casing and good heat convection allow continuous operation at low water levels – or dry running – without motor damage. The pump design, robust construction and premium materials ensure high wear resistance.
Serviceability
The modular design of the pump range reduces costs by ensuring maximum pump availability with a smaller spare parts inventory. The condition of a pump with a built-in AquaTronic unit can be rapidly checked without disassembly, using its service software.
Saves energy and the environment
The high-efficiency motor and hydraulics are combined with low-friction bearings to reduce power losses. You achieve low total energy costs and minimize your carbon footprint. Environmentally safe white oil is used in the oil casing for easy inspection of seal conditions.
Neptune is a company specialized in the rental and sale of pumping equipment for clean water, wastewater and water loaded to industry, construction and communities. Its rental fleet includes 90% of dewatering pumps and 10% of sewage pumps. Neptune has already trusted Sulzer as a supplier for many years and has ordered several dewatering and sewage pumps.
Robust Sulzer dewatering equipment endures tough mine environment. Built-in intelligence in submersible drainage and sludge pumps XJ/XJS prevents loss of capacity due to connection errors and provides early warnings that allow service at lower cost.
