Product Description
Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump
The Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump provides heavy-duty submersible pumping for soiled biological liquids and unscreened wastewater. Its cast-iron vortex impeller creates a full free passage; therefore, solids move through the pump without travelling directly through narrow impeller channels.
Moreover, the UNIQA vortex submersible pump combines solids handling with Premium IE3 motor design. Consequently, it suits civil, agricultural and industrial installations that require dependable wastewater lifting.
Zenit ZUG V Full-Passage Vortex Pump Design
The Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump uses a cast-iron vortex impeller positioned away from the main liquid flow. As a result, wastewater and compatible solids pass through the casing with reduced contact against the impeller.
In addition, the full free passage helps prevent fouling and supports trouble-free operation. Therefore, the Zenit full-passage vortex pump suits wastewater containing dirt, pollutants and suspended solids.

Together, these features make the Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump suitable for professional sewage and wastewater systems.
UNIQA Vortex Submersible Pump Performance
At 50 Hz, the ZUG V wastewater pump range provides:
- Motor power: 3–45 kW
- Motor poles: Two or four
- Discharge: DN65–DN150
- Maximum free passage: 150 mm
- Maximum flow: 107.9 l/s
- Maximum head: 79.2 m
Meanwhile, the 60 Hz range covers 7.5–37 kW. It delivers up to 89.3 l/s, reaches 81.6 metres and provides free passage up to 125 mm.
However, these figures represent separate limits across each range. Therefore, engineers must select the exact UNIQA vortex submersible pump from its model-specific hydraulic curve.
ZUG V Non-Clogging Wastewater Hydraulics
The vortex action keeps much of the liquid and solids away from the impeller. Consequently, the Zenit ZUG V sewage pump can reduce blockage risks when wastewater contains irregular solids.
Moreover, the large free passage makes the pump useful during long inactive periods followed by frequent operating cycles. As a result, the pump supports collection tanks and sewage stations with variable inflow.
IE3 Motor for the UNIQA Vortex Pump
Zenit designs UNIQA motors to target Premium IE3 efficiency according to EN 60034-30. Therefore, the Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump supports controlled energy use during prolonged operation.
In addition, Zenit matches each motor and hydraulic combination to its intended duty point. Consequently, the modular design supports high reliability and avoids unnecessary motor oversizing.
ZUG V Mechanical Seals and Monitoring
The UNIQA biological wastewater pump uses two silicon-carbide mechanical seals inside an oil chamber. Moreover, an oil-lifter component keeps the upper mechanical seal lubricated.
Zenit also installs a moisture probe in the seal chamber as standard. Therefore, operators can identify water ingress and schedule maintenance before seal damage causes an unexpected shutdown.
WET and DRY Zenit Vortex Pump Versions
The WET ZUG V wastewater pump operates while fully submerged in a sump or wet well. Alternatively, the DRY version can run continuously while partially submerged or installed inside a dry chamber.
The DRY UNIQA vortex pump uses an internal closed cooling circuit and requires no external cooling-water input. Consequently, it supports continuous operation under suitable dry or partially submerged conditions.
Zenit ZUG V Pump Material Options
The standard UNIQA vortex hydraulics and impeller use EN-GJL 250 cast iron.
Alternatively, Zenit offers selected hydraulic components in AISI 316 stainless steel, AISI 329 Duplex or Molib-tech. Therefore, engineers can configure the Zenit full-passage vortex pump for more demanding wastewater conditions.
However, material availability varies by model and configuration.
ZUG V Wastewater Pump Applications
The Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump suits:
- Civil sewage pumping stations
- Unscreened wastewater lifting
- Biological wastewater transfer
- Livestock-farm wastewater
- Industrial wastewater plants
- First-rainfall collection tanks
- Wastewater containing suspended solids
- Commercial sewage systems
- Contaminated drainage water
- Process wastewater transfer
Moreover, the full free passage supports wastewater containing dirt, solids and pollutants. Nevertheless, heavily fibrous material may require the ZUG GR grinder or ZUG CP chopper configuration.
Certified UNIQA ZUG V Pumps
Zenit offers selected ATEX and IECEx-certified UNIQA pumps for potentially explosive environments.
Available versions include WET gas-certified configurations and DRY configurations for gas and combustible-dust environments. However, certification depends on the exact ordered model. Therefore, buyers must verify the pump nameplate and supporting certificate before installation.
Selecting a Zenit ZUG V Sewage Pump
Correct selection depends on required flow, total head, solids size, wastewater density and installation method.
In addition, engineers should confirm motor power, operating frequency, discharge size, material requirements and hazardous-area classification. Therefore, specialists should select the Zenit UNIQA ZUG-V Vortex Pump from model-specific performance data.
