  • Patent number: 11359639
    Abstract: A waste water pump includes an impeller (12) and a surrounding pump housing (4), wherein an impeller side chamber (20) is formed between the impeller (12) and the pump housing (4). The impeller side chamber (20) has a first seal (16) between the impeller (12) and the pump housing (4), towards the intake side (32) of the impeller (12), and a second seal (18) between the impeller (12) and the pump housing (4), towards the pressure side (14) of the impeller (12). The first seal (16) is provided with a conveying device (28, 30) configured to convey debris from the impeller side chamber (20) to the intake side (32) of the impeller (12). The second seal (18) is provided with conveying device (38, 40) configured to convey debris from the side chamber (20) to the pressure side (14) of the impeller (12).

  • Patent number: 9500204
    Abstract: A waste water pump includes an impeller (10) having a suction port (12) with a sealing surface (14) which annularly surrounds this and which bears on a stationary seal (18). At least one groove (28) is formed in the sealing surface (14) and to both sides extends beyond a bearing-contact region of the stationary seal (18) on the sealing surface (14). The stationary seal (18) having a first end (30) in connection with an impeller side chamber (20) and an opposite second end (32) is in connection with the suction side of the impeller (10). The pump also includes means (34) for producing turbulences arranged in the impeller side chamber (20) adjacent the seal (18).

  • Patent number: 9234523
    Abstract: A submersible pump includes an impeller (8) arranged in a pump housing (2). A seal (22) seals the impeller (8) with respect to a stationary part of the pump housing (2). The seal (22) includes a sealing ring (24) arranged on the impeller side. The sealing ring engages in a second sealing ring (26) arranged on the pump housing side. The sealing ring (26) on the pump housing side has at least one hole (28) for discharging solid particles from the impeller (8).
