SFA SANIFOS 280 General Pumping Station - Grinder Version

The SFA SANIFOS 280 General Pumping Station - Grinder Version, reference 009FOS280TM, is a high-capacity solution designed for the efficient evacuation of wastewater in single-family homes or small commercial premises. This underground system is intended to handle large volumes of black and grey water, allowing for the safe and automatic evacuation of wastewater from toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, and other sanitary devices.

The polyethylene tank of the SANIFOS 280 has a capacity of 280 litres and a screw cap with a point load resistance of up to 200 kg, ensuring a robust and durable structure, ideal for outdoor or underground applications. Its design is optimised to prevent waste from accumulating between pumping cycles, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted operation. Additionally, for extreme weather conditions, such as areas at risk of frost, there is an option to add a 30 cm high extension module (reference 009FOS280EX), allowing for deeper and more protected installation.

One of the main advantages of the grinder version of the SANIFOS 280 is its submersible pump equipped with grinding blades. This grinding system allows solids present in the wastewater to be broken down into fine particles, preventing clogs and ensuring a continuous flow of water through smaller diameter pipes. The SANIFOS 280 can evacuate wastewater through a 50 mm pipe, simplifying installation and reducing the space needed for drainage connections. This system is ideal for projects where gravity drainage is not possible, such as basements or sloping terrain.

The pre-installed hydraulic kit, including a non-return valve and a stop valve, facilitates installation and maintenance of the system, ensuring a one-way flow of water and preventing evacuated water from returning to the tank. This provides safe and efficient operation, especially in commercial or residential applications with intensive use.

The SANIFOS 280 - Grinder Version operates fully automatically, thanks to the level floats that detect when the water in the tank reaches 400 mm. At that point, the system starts the pump motor to evacuate the water. Each pumping cycle manages a useful volume of 100 litres, ensuring quick and efficient evacuation in situations of high water inflow. This automatic design minimises the need for manual intervention and ensures that the system operates continuously, even in environments requiring constant evacuation.
