DKEU DKEXU Submersible Pump
The EBARA DKEU/DKEXU Submersible Pump is designed to handle demanding wastewater and sewage applications where reliability and efficiency are essential. With its advanced anti-clog impeller, heavy-duty IE3 motor, and integrated cooling system, the DKEU/DKEXU offers superior performance, energy efficiency, and durability for municipal, industrial, and stormwater systems. Its rugged construction, explosion-proof design options, and simplified maintenance features make it a dependable choice for operators seeking long service life and reduced total cost of ownership.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The DKEU/DKEXU is a high-performance submersible pump engineered to efficiently move solids-laden wastewater. Its backswept impeller design, combined with a precision guide pin and suction cover groove, provides excellent anti-clog capabilities — maintaining flow and head even in challenging conditions. The pump’s Internal Cooling System (ICS) ensures consistent operation, using a stainless-steel cooling jacket that maintains motor temperature and extends service life.
Double mechanical seals operate in either a glycol (ICS models) or oil bath (non-ICS models), protecting the motor and bearings from contamination and wear.
