3HPGrundfos Heavy Duty Vertical Pump (MTR3-17/17) for All in One Pumping Station
The 3 HP Grundfos Heavy Duty Pump is a robust, highly efficient component critical to the high-pressure application sections of a professional car wash. This pump, part of the Grundfos MTR series, is utilized extensively in the All-In-One Pump Station and the Tommy Water Treatment Center.
Specific Applications in All-In-One Station:
Two of these pumps are typically used in the All-In-One Pump Station for two major high-pressure features:
- High Pressure Rinse Pump: Delivers the primary rinse water.
- Pre-Blast Pump: Powers the intense pre-soak/pre-blast applicators.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Pump Design: It is a vertical, self-priming, immersible, centrifugal pump with a 17 chamber/impeller design, which contributes to its ability to generate high pressure (363 PSI).
- Performance: Rated at 3 HP with a flow rate of 15.4 GPM and a speed of 3461 RPM.
- Power & Efficiency: The motor is 3-phase (230/460 V) and meets high-efficiency standards (NEMA Premium / IE3 Efficiency). It features an IP55 enclosure rating for dust and jetting protection.
- Construction: The Head Material is Cast Iron for strength, while the Impeller Material is Stainless Steel for corrosion resistance. The pump uses a high-performance HUUV shaft seal
