IBX AUTO 50-2.2 – sludge pump with control controller
The IBO IBX AUTO sludge pump with a control controller has been developed for pumping water contaminated with abrasive materials such as sand and silt while maintaining a compact design. Thanks to the cooling jacket around the motor, the pump can operate while only partially submerged.
Who it is for
-
Construction companies and excavation contractors – the pump is designed to pump water containing sand and silt without rapid wear.
-
Installation companies servicing three-phase systems – the 400 V power supply and built-in control controller facilitate integration with larger systems.
-
Civil engineering companies – the pump is suitable for draining construction sites and large excavations.
-
Owners of ponds and retention reservoirs – the pump handles surface water containing sand and silt.
Applications
The IBX AUTO sludge pump is designed for pumping water contaminated with abrasive materials such as sand and silt while maintaining a compact design. It is mainly used in residential construction for draining excavations, as well as for irrigation and draining construction sites.
The pump is also suitable for pumping rainwater and surface water from ponds, lakes, and rivers. Thanks to the cooling jacket around the motor, the pump can operate while only partially submerged.
Features of the IBX AUTO pump
The pump features a motor housing and body made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the shaft and rotor are made of AISI 420SS stainless steel, which is harder and more wear-resistant than standard AISI 304 steel. The semi-open impeller is made of extremely durable ductile iron, ensuring excellent durability during constant contact with sand.
Unlike KBFU series pumps, the IBX AUTO is equipped with a control controller that serves as a protection device instead of a traditional float switch. The mechanical seal and NSK bearings ensure tightness and stable operation under heavy loads. Thermal protection built into the motor winding protects against overheating.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBX AUTO sludge pump
What type of water is the IBX AUTO pump designed for?
The pump is designed for water contaminated with abrasive materials such as sand and silt. The permitted contaminant size is 8 mm.
How does the IBX AUTO pump differ from the KBFU series?
The IBX AUTO pump is equipped with a control controller that serves as a protection device, whereas KBFU series pumps do not have one.
Does the IBX AUTO pump have to be completely submerged in water?
No. Thanks to the cooling jacket around the motor, the pump can operate while only partially submerged because the motor is cooled by liquid flowing through the jacket, not only by its immediate surroundings.
How should I choose between the IBX AUTO 50-2.2 and IBX AUTO 80-3.7 models?
The choice depends on the required delivery head and capacity – the IBX AUTO 50-2.2 achieves a delivery head of up to 25 m, while the IBX AUTO 80-3.7 reaches up to 29 m with significantly higher capacity. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to contact the technical department.
Where can I buy the IBX AUTO sludge pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The IBX AUTO 50-2.2 and IBX AUTO 80-3.7 pumps are available from trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty conditions apply to the IBX AUTO pump?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
