- Removing water from flooded rooms, houses, garages, and premises.
- Pumping water down to a low level – even 60 mm.
Features, description, and technical data
The IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump belongs to Dambat’s KBFU series and is fully designed for pumping water containing sand, sludge, and abrasive particles. The model’s key distinguishing feature compared with the other pumps in the series is its built-in float switch, which automates operation and protects the device against dry running.
The design incorporates a cooling jacket, meaning the pump does not have to be fully submerged in the pumped medium, enabling effective drainage down to a level of 60 mm. The motor housing is made of stainless steel; the pump body and impeller are made of gray cast iron coated with a heavy-duty wear-resistant layer (chromium alloy); and the shaft and rotor are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The bearings come from the Japanese NSK factory.
Thermal protection built into the motor winding protects the device against overheating. The 2" threaded discharge outlet enables easy connection of the discharge hose using a clamp or quick coupling. The 10 m power cable is terminated with a plug.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO KBFU 50-0.45 sludge pump
What is the IBO KBFU 50-0.45 sludge pump used for?
The IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump is designed for professional drainage work wherever the pumped water contains sand, sludge, and abrasive particles. It is used for draining excavations, ditches, construction sites, mines, and quarries, as well as for removing water from flooded rooms, garages, and premises.
What is the float switch in the KBFU 50-0.45 pump used for?
The built-in float switch automates pump operation – it starts the pump when the water reaches a specified level and switches it off when the level drops. It therefore protects the device against dry running, which could damage the mechanism. Thanks to the float switch, the pump can operate without constant operator supervision.
Can the KBFU 50-0.45 pump handle water containing sand?
Yes – the IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump is fully designed for pumping water containing sand, sludge, and abrasive particles. The impeller, made of cast iron coated with a heavy-duty wear-resistant layer (chromium alloy), provides resistance to abrasion during long-term operation.
Does the pump have to be fully submerged during operation?
No – the cooling jacket eliminates the need for complete submersion in the pumped medium. The pump can operate safely when only partially submerged.
Where can I purchase the IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly online. The IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump is available from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors cooperating with the Dambat brand.
What is the warranty period, and where should I submit a service request?
The IBO KBFU 50-0.45 pump is covered by a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer’s warranty. Dambat also provides post-warranty service. The contact form is available at dambat.pl/pages/serwis.
How does the KBFU 50-0.45 differ from the KBFU 25-0.45?
The main difference is the built-in float switch in the KBFU 50-0.45 model, which automates pump operation and protects against dry running – the KBFU 25-0.45 model does not have one. They also differ in the minimum pumping level (60 mm vs 3 mm), head and capacity parameters, and connection size.
