IBO KBFU 100-5.5 submersible sludge pump, 400 V
The KBFU 100-5.5 is a 5.5 kW three-phase sludge pump powered by 400 V, with a DN 4" connection and a capacity of 2200 l/min. The model is designed for intensive dewatering work involving heavy sediment - where a pump without a bottom agitator cannot effectively draw in settling sludge.
Who it's for
-
Construction companies working with bentonite and drilling spoil - a capacity of 2200 l/min with a powerful 5.5 kW motor shortens the time needed to drain deep excavations containing thick sludge.
-
Industrial plants with settling tanks and separators - the combination of an agitator and high capacity works well for emptying sedimentation tanks and sludge ponds.
-
Tunnel and geotechnical contractors - the agitator and powerful motor handle drilling spoil during pile and diaphragm wall construction.
-
Engineers designing sludge pumping stations - the large DN 4" connection and high capacity simplify hydraulic system design for a four-inch pipeline.
Applications
The KBFU 100-5.5 model is designed for pumping media containing sediment and solid contaminants, as found in construction excavations, retention tanks, and flood drainage operations. The pump's design allows it to operate in difficult conditions where standard clean-water pumps would not perform well due to suspended solids and fine contaminants.
A key feature of the design is the cooling jacket surrounding the motor. This means the pump does not need to be fully submerged in the pumped medium to maintain a safe operating temperature - the motor is cooled through the jacket wall even when the liquid level in the tank is very low. Thermal protection built into the motor windings provides an additional layer of protection against overheating during prolonged continuous operation.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - KBFU 100-5.5 sludge pump
How does the KBFU 100-5.5 differ from the KBFU 100-3.7 T?
The 100-5.5 model has higher power (5.5 vs. 3.7 kW), higher capacity (2200 vs. 1650 l/min), greater head (23 vs. 18.5 m) and - most importantly - is equipped with an agitator. It is the right choice for heavier applications with dense sediment, where the 3.7 T model without a mixer may prove insufficient.
What is the agitator in the KBFU 100-5.5 pump used for?
The agitator is a bottom-mounted mixer installed beneath the pump impeller. It sets sludge sediment into a whirl, breaking up clumps and liquefying suspensions at the inlet. Without an agitator, dense sediment would settle at the bottom of the tank, making it much more difficult or impossible for the impeller to draw it in.
Can the KBFU 100-5.5 be used in sediment ponds?
Yes - the combination of an agitator and a capacity of 2200 l/min makes it suitable for emptying tanks containing sediment. Make sure the chemical composition of the medium is within the permitted parameters for cast iron and stainless steel. If in doubt, we recommend contacting Dambat's technical department.
Where can I buy the IBO KBFU 100-5.5 pump?
This model is available from Dambat's sales partners, plumbing wholesalers, and specialist technical stores. Dambat does not sell directly.
How long is the warranty for the KBFU 100-5.5?
IBO - 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat, Adamów 50, Grodzisk Mazowiecki.
