IBO KBFU 100-5.5 400 V submersible sludge pump
The KBFU 100-5.5 is a three-phase sludge pump with a power output of 5.5 kW, powered by 400 V and featuring a 4" DN connection, achieving a capacity of 2,200 l/min. The model is designed for intensive dewatering work involving dense sediment—where a pump without a bottom agitator alone cannot effectively draw in settling sludge.
Who it is for
-
Construction companies working with bentonite and drilling spoil – the capacity of 2,200 l/min combined with the powerful 5.5 kW motor shortens the dewatering time for deep excavations containing dense sludge.
-
Industrial plants with settling tanks and separators – the combination of an agitator and high capacity is effective when emptying sedimentation tanks and sludge ponds.
-
Contractors carrying out tunneling and geotechnical work – the agitator and powerful motor handle drilling spoil during the construction of piles and diaphragm walls.
-
Engineers designing sludge pumping stations – the large 4" DN connection and high capacity simplify the hydraulic design of systems with four-inch pipelines.
Applications
The KBFU 100-5.5 is designed for pumping media containing sediment and solid contaminants found in construction excavations, retention tanks, and during the dewatering of flooded areas. The pump's construction enables it to operate in difficult conditions where standard clean-water pumps would not be suitable due to the presence of suspended solids and fine contaminants.
A key structural element is the cooling jacket surrounding the motor. Thanks to it, 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 already very low. Thermal protection built into the motor winding 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 (2,200 vs. 1,650 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 involving dense sediment, where the 3.7 T model without an agitator may prove insufficient.
What is the agitator in the KBFU 100-5.5 pump used for?
The agitator is a bottom mixer mounted beneath the pump impeller. It puts sludge sediment into swirling motion, breaking up clumps and fluidizing suspended solids at the inlet. Without an agitator, dense sediment would settle on 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 sludge ponds?
Yes—the combination of the agitator and a capacity of 2,200 l/min is effective when emptying tanks containing sediment. Make sure that the chemical composition of the medium falls within the permissible 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?
The 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.
