The FPS IGPH Series of high-head grinder pumps from Franklin Electric slice through sewage at 414,000 cuts per minute. They can be used in high-head conditions found in many low-pressure sewage transfer applications. Available in an automatic or manual version, the pumps use a cutter system with tight clearances and incorporate two non-clogging impeller stages designed for efficient pumping of sewage slurries with a shut-off head of 200 feet. They run on 16 full-load amps at minimum head requirements of 100 feet, and are available in single- or three-phase versions. A 2 hp, 3,450 rpm motor powers the unit, which includes corrosion-resistant upper and lower brass impellers and built-in overload protection to prevent over-current/over-temperature damage. The automatic model has start/run components encased in an oil-free chamber that requires no control panel, while the manual model uses externally mounted start/run components. 800/701-7894; www.franklinengineered.com.
