Grundfos LIFTAWAY C40-1 Collection Tank

The Grundfos LIFTAWAY C40-1 collection tank is an essential component for creating lifting stations for wastewater in domestic and commercial applications. This tank has been specifically designed to work in conjunction with UNILIFT KP or AP12 pumps, making it a reliable and efficient solution for handling untreated wastewater from floor drains, sinks, washing machines, dishwashers, and other appliances that cannot be directly connected to the sewer system.

Functional design for lifting stations

The LIFTAWAY C40-1 is ideal for the collection and management of wastewater in installations where a direct connection to the sewer is not possible, such as basements or underground spaces. This tank is equipped to collect untreated wastewater, making it an efficient solution for managing liquid waste from various sources, facilitating its pumping to sewer systems when used in combination with the recommended pumps.

Compatibility with Grundfos UNILIFT pumps

This model is designed to be used with pumps from the UNILIFT KP150/KP250 or AP12 series, ensuring perfect integration and efficient operation. UNILIFT pumps are known for their reliability and durability in pumping wastewater, and when combined with the LIFTAWAY tank, they create a complete and robust system for the disposal of untreated water.

Key technical features

The tank is made of durable plastic, ensuring a long service life and resistance to harsh conditions. The net weight of the tank is 3.05 kg, making it a lightweight component that is easy to install in virtually any environment. Its gross weight is 3.2 kg, facilitating handling and transport.

Clapet-type check valve

The LIFTAWAY C40-1 includes a clapet-type check valve, designed to prevent the return of wastewater to the system once it has been pumped. This feature is essential to avoid the backflow of wastewater, protecting both the tank and connected pumps and ensuring clean and safe operation of the system.

Inlet and outlet connections

This tank is equipped with connections that allow easy installation and connection to the wastewater system. The inlet connection is DN 40/50 and the outlet is DN 40, facilitating integration with standard piping systems. These connections ensure optimal water flow in and out of the tank, enhancing the performance of the entire wastewater evacuation system.

Temperature range and durability

The liquid temperature range that the LIFTAWAY tank can handle varies between 5 °C and 50 °C, making it suitable for managing wastewater from appliances and other sources that generate water at different temperatures. Additionally, it can withstand a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C, ensuring its durability and good performance even in warm environments.

Certifications and approvals

The LIFTAWAY C40-1 tank is certified with CE and MORO approvals, ensuring that it meets the safety and quality standards required in the European market. Additionally, it is certified with environmental approvals such as WEEE, emphasising its commitment to environmental respect and responsible manufacturing.
