Standard and Explosion-proof

The Myers WG30-50 are rugged 3-5 horsepower submersible centrifugal grinder pumps designed for residential, light commercial, industrial or municipal applications.
They are especially designed for grinder pump applications requiring higher flows at low to moderate heads. The WG30-50 feature a heavy-duty cutter mechanism and recessed impeller design to efficiently grind typical sewage solids into a fine slurry.

WG30-50 grinder pumps are available in standard and U.L. Listed explosion-proof (WGX30-50) construction for use in Class 1, Group D hazardous locations.

WG30-50 grinder pumps can be installed in a variety of packaged systems. Factory-assembled simplex or duplex packages with guide rail systems are available. Individual rail components are also available for installation in on-site concrete systems. F E. Myers offers a complete line of submersible sump, sewage effluent, grinder, non-clog wastewater pumps, controls, basins and accessories.

Advantages by Design
Ideal for use in Lift Stations
  • Recessed impeller provides steep non-overloading operating curve.
Durable Motor will deliver many years of Reliable Service.
  • Oil-filled motor for maximum heat dissipation and constant bearing lubrication.
  • Recessed impeller reduces radial bearing loads increases bearing life.
  • High torque capacitor start/run single phase or three phase motors for assured starting under heavy load.
  • Seal leak probes and on-winding heat sensors warn of seal leak condition, and stop motor if motor overheats.
    Helps prevent costly motor damage.
The WG30-50 Series is designed for easy maintenance.
  • Shredding ring and grinder impeller are replaceable without dismantling pump or motor.
