DESCRIPTION
Filtramatic CP is an ingenious, low cost combination of pump
and macerator. Designed for small scale land or marine sewage
handling installations, it is compact and quiet running. Where
mains sewerage is distant and costly to reach Filtramatic CP
installations make possible economic connection to mains facility
an important consideration for residences or groups of houses
etc. Filtramatic CP macerates (grinds) raw sewage to a small
particle size and lifts the effluent through heads of up to
35 metres. Small particle size means less costly small bore
pipework can be used, reducing installation costs significantly.
Use of Filtramatic CP is beneficial to package treatment plants
by reducing wear on pumps and improving efficiency.
CONSTRUCTION
Filtramatic CP is robustly constructed for minimum maintenance.
The macerator element consists of a cast iron canopy and head
enclosing a heat treated stainless steel alloy impeller rotating
within a stationary cutter ring of hardened nickel steel.
The pumping element is a positive displacement, self-priming
progressive cavity pump of acetal copolymer directly driven
from the motorshaft.
Thus there are no
valves, pistons or diaphragms to get choked or wear out. The
motor element is continuously rated and totally enclosed and
can be wound to suit most voltages and frequencies.

RANGE
AND PERFORMANCE
Filtramatic CP is available in 3 sizes covering
heads of up to 35m. (115ft) or throughputs of up
to 7600 litres per hour (1680 gph). For detailed
performance figures see table below. |

INSTALLATION
For simplicity of access and maintenance, Filtramatic
CP is mounted horizontally outside the collecting sump
or holding tank.
