DESIGN OF PUMP
Liberty Omnivore Grinder pumps are designed to be operated continuously submerged underwater. The
motor and pump form a close coupled, watertight unit. The pump's motor is insulated against heat and
moisture in accordance with Class B 130°C (265°F) regulations.
A thermal overload protector is imbedded in the motor windings of all single phase pumps. This is connected
in series and wired to shut down the pump if overheating occurs. The overload switch resets automatically
when the motor cools.
The motor is protected against damage from water entry by a double seal design. The lower seal is a lip seal,
composed of a rubber based elastomer. The upper seal is a mechanical cartridge seal, consisting of two
silicon-carbide faces. If the mechanical seal becomes compromised, pollution of the pumped liquid could
occur due to turbine oil seeping into the volute cavity.
The impeller and volute are designed for efficient flow characteristics and clog-free operation. The hardened
cutters grind solids and fibrous matter into small particles that can be safely pumped through small diameter
piping.
