Product Description
BC Series Sewage Pumps
The BC Series Sewage Pumps provide dependable submersible pumping for dirty water, sewage and wastewater containing suspended solids and short fibres. Pedrollo designed the range for domestic, civil and industrial drainage applications across India.
Moreover, the precision-cast two-channel impeller creates an efficient hydraulic path through the pump. Consequently, compatible solids can pass through the casing while the pump maintains useful flow and discharge head.
Two-Channel BC Sewage Pump Design
The pump uses an AISI 304 stainless-steel impeller with two defined hydraulic channels.
During operation, these channels transfer liquid and suspended material through the pump casing. Therefore, the BC Series Sewage Pumps provide efficient solids handling without relying on a grinder or cutting mechanism.
However, long fibres, wipes, ropes and unsuitable debris may still cause blockage. As a result, users should prevent these materials from entering the collection chamber.
Key Features and Benefits
The BC Series provides:
- Precision-cast two-channel impeller
- AISI 304 stainless-steel impeller
- Cast-iron pump housing
- AISI 304 stainless-steel motor sleeve
- AISI 431 stainless-steel shaft
- Flow rates up to 850 l/min
- Maximum capacity up to 51 m³/h
- Discharge head up to 17 metres
- Solids passage up to 50 mm
- Maximum liquid temperature of 40°C
- Maximum immersion depth of 5 metres
- Two-pole submersible motor
- IP68 ingress protection
- Model-specific minimum immersion levels
Together, these features support reliable wastewater removal in residential, commercial and civil systems.
BC Series Sewage Pump Performance
The complete range delivers flow rates up to approximately 850 litres per minute, equivalent to 51 m³/h. Selected configurations also develop discharge heads up to approximately 17 metres.
However, maximum flow and maximum head occur at different operating points. Therefore, engineers should select the exact BC model from its hydraulic performance curve rather than applying both maximum figures to every pump.
Handling Solids and Short Fibres
The BC wastewater pump can pass compatible suspended solids up to approximately 50 mm in diameter.
Moreover, the two-channel impeller can transfer short fibrous material commonly found in domestic and civil wastewater. Nevertheless, the pump does not shred or reduce solids.
Therefore, the complete wastewater system should prevent oversized objects, long fibres and non-pumpable waste from reaching the sump.
Durable Construction Materials
Pedrollo manufactures the standard BC pump housing from cast iron. Meanwhile, the motor sleeve and precision-cast impeller use AISI 304 stainless steel.
In addition, the shaft uses AISI 431 stainless steel. Consequently, the BC Series Sewage Pumps combine mechanical strength with corrosion resistance for compatible wastewater applications.
Submersible Motor and Protection
The BC range uses a two-pole submersible motor with an IP68 ingress-protection rating.
Therefore, the motor supports submerged operation when installers follow the required installation conditions. However, correct immersion remains important for motor cooling and dependable continuous service.
BC Series Operating Limits
Published range-wide limits include:
- Maximum flow: Up to 850 l/min or 51 m³/h
- Maximum head: Up to 17 metres
- Maximum solids passage: Up to 50 mm
- Maximum liquid temperature: 40°C
- Maximum operating depth: 5 metres
- Minimum immersion for BC 10/50: 290 mm
- Minimum immersion for BC 15/50: 330 mm
- Minimum immersion for BC 20/50: 360 mm
- Motor protection: IP68
However, model-specific installation instructions should determine the final operating limits.
BC Series Sewage Pump Applications in India
The BC Series Sewage Pumps may support applications across India such as:
- Domestic sewage drainage
- Residential wastewater collection
- Surface-water removal
- Sludge-mixed wastewater
- Apartment-building sumps
- Basement wastewater systems
- Civil drainage installations
- Commercial wastewater collection
- Industrial dirty-water drainage
- Small sewage lifting systems
- Washing and service areas
- Collection tanks and sumps
Moreover, the compact submersible design suits installations where the pump operates directly inside the wastewater collection chamber.
Installation Considerations
The BC sewage pump can operate in a suitable sump, collection tank or lifting arrangement.
Installers should use correctly sized discharge pipes together with suitable non-return and isolation valves. In addition, the pump should remain accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Consequently, a guided lifting or removable installation arrangement may simplify servicing in deeper wastewater sumps.
Selecting the Correct BC Sewage Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow
- Total dynamic head
- Maximum solids size
- Wastewater composition
- Sump dimensions
- Electrical supply
- Discharge-pipe diameter
- Minimum immersion
- Operating frequency
- Installation arrangement
Therefore, engineers should select the BC Series Sewage Pumps from model-specific hydraulic data. Otherwise, an unsuitable configuration may clog, cycle excessively or fail to provide the required discharge head.
