Applications
AFP submersible pumps have been designed for the economic and
reliable pumping of clear or wastewater, gaseous liquids, and for
sewage and sludge, in fixed or portable applications.
* For fixed, wet well applications the AFP is pedestal mounted. Us-
ing a self-sealing coupling system the pump seals automatically
on the pedestal when lowered by guide rail into position.
* Dry well applications have the option of horizontal or vertical
installation.
* With vortex hydraulics the AFP is particularly suitable for sew-
age, abrasive matter, and fluids containing stringy materials that
tend to ”rope”.
* The Contrablock hydraulic system offers higher efficiency and is
suitable for larger proportions of solid or fibrous matter.
Construction
The water-pressure-tight, encapsulated, fully flood-proof motor
and the pump section form a compact, robust, modular construc-
tion. Maximum allowable temperature of the medium for con- Features

Contrablock
The Contrablock impeller design ensures clog-free pumping combined with high-efficiency hydraulic performance.
It can handle solid sizes up to 125 x 100 mm, including fibres and fabric which can block conventional pumping systems.
