Product Description
MC Series Sewage Pumps
The MC Series Sewage Pumps provide dependable submersible pumping for sewage, wastewater and sludge-mixed liquids containing suspended solids and short fibres.
Pedrollo manufactures the range from thick cast iron for strength, abrasion resistance and long operating life. Moreover, the two-channel impeller provides an efficient hydraulic passage for solids while maintaining useful flow and discharge head.
Two-Channel Design for Sewage Handling
The precision-cast two-channel impeller creates two defined hydraulic passages through the pump.
Consequently, wastewater can move through the casing efficiently while carrying compatible solids and short fibrous material. The design provides higher hydraulic efficiency than many open vortex arrangements.
However, the pump does not grind or cut waste. Therefore, long fibres, wipes, ropes, metal objects and oversized debris should remain outside the collection chamber.

- MC 50 and MC 65 solids-passage options
Together, these features make the MC Series Sewage Pumps suitable for demanding civil, commercial and industrial wastewater systems.
MC Series Sewage Pump Performance
The complete MC 50–65 range delivers flows up to approximately 1,600 l/min, equivalent to 96 m³/h. Selected configurations also develop heads up to approximately 25 metres.
Meanwhile, the MC 45 range reaches approximately 750 l/min, or 45 m³/h, and heads up to 15 metres.
However, maximum flow and maximum head occur at different points on the hydraulic curve. Therefore, engineers must select the exact model according to the required duty point.
Solids Passage and Fibre Handling
MC 50 models handle compatible suspended solids up to approximately 50 mm. In comparison, MC 65 models provide solids passage up to approximately 65 mm.
The MC 45 range also provides passage for solids up to approximately 50 mm.
Consequently, the pumps can handle sewage and wastewater containing suspended material that could obstruct smaller drainage pumps. Nevertheless, the actual material must pass freely through the pipework, valves and discharge fittings.
Cast-Iron Construction and Stainless-Steel Impeller
Pedrollo manufactures the pump housing and motor casing from cast iron. Therefore, the unit provides mechanical strength for permanent submerged installations.
In addition, the precision-cast impeller uses AISI 304 stainless steel. The shaft uses AISI 431 stainless steel for mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
As a result, the hydraulic assembly provides a balance of durability, abrasion resistance and reliable performance.
Submersible Motor and Operating Limits
The motor uses a two-pole design with an IP68 protection rating. Therefore, it suits continuous submerged operation when installers follow Pedrollo’s immersion and cooling requirements.
Published operating limits include:
- Maximum liquid temperature: 40°C
- Maximum operating depth: 10 metres
- Minimum continuous-service immersion: 320 mm for MC 50
- Minimum continuous-service immersion: 360 mm for MC 65
- MC 45 draining level: Approximately 305 mm
However, the power cable must be suitable for the required installation depth.
Installation Options for MC Sewage Pumps
The pumps suit free-standing or fixed wastewater installations, depending on the selected model, discharge arrangement and accessories.
A permanent guided installation can simplify pump removal from deep sumps. Alternatively, a free-standing arrangement may suit temporary pumping or installations requiring easier repositioning.
Moreover, installers should use correctly sized discharge pipes and non-return valves. Excessive restrictions can reduce flow and increase the total system head.
Applications for MC Series Sewage Pumps
The MC Series Sewage Pumps may support:
- Municipal and private sewers
- Wastewater collection sumps
- Activated-sludge transfer
- Putrid-sludge pumping
- Sludge-mixed water
- Tunnels and excavations
- Underground parking facilities
- Canals and drainage systems
- Industrial wastewater systems
- Public and commercial facilities
- Apartment-building sewage systems
- Washing and service areas
Moreover, the robust construction supports installations where wastewater contains suspended solids and short fibres.
Choosing the Correct MC Sewage Pump
Correct selection depends on the required flow, total head, solids size, liquid composition and sump dimensions.
Engineers should also confirm the discharge connection, power supply, installation method, minimum immersion and required solids passage.
Therefore, specialists should select the MC Series Sewage Pumps from model-specific hydraulic data. Otherwise, an unsuitable configuration may clog, cycle excessively or fail to provide the required head.
