Jung Pumpen Pumps and Systems – one supplier has the solution!
Facilities Managers will regularly encounter Jung Pumpen wastewater pumping systems. These have been installed across thousands of commercial premises for over 30 years and are still one of the top choices of specifiers today.
Pump Technology Ltd, based in Berkshire, are the main authorised Jung Pumpen GmbH distributors and, working directly with Germany, are now the largest stockist and supplier of these products in the UK.
When a replacement Jung pumping system such as a Hebefix, DrainMinor, DrainMajor or similar is required, or a replacement pump, typically a U3K, U6K, US73 / US730HES or US103 / US103HES, then Pump Technology Ltd can help. They can generally dispatch the required pump for Next Day Delivery and say that, as they are the central source for Jung Pumpen, they will always price match even if not initially competitive.
Pump Selection: Which pump for which job?
The U3K is available in two models, the standard version being suitable for pumping wastewater with a nominal temperature up to 35°C, occasionally 65°C, maximum soft solids size 10mm. The U3KSL is suitable for more arduous applications such as light chemicals (a janitor’s sink for example), or for major chain outlets serving coffee, where the combination of coffee granules and milk skin can cause the ingress of fluid to the submersible pump motor, the pumps shaft lips seals being pushed back by these waste products. To overcome these problems, the U3KSL features a wet facing mechanical seal which is also found in the larger U6K, US73 and US103 pumps. This arrangement is far more robust to debris within the wastewater.
Below is a chart giving a summary of the different pump performances-
| Jung Pump Model | Max Discharge Head | Max Soft Solids | Temperature Range |
| U3K | 7m | 10mm | 35° C Temp 60° C |
| U3KSL | 7m | 10mm | 35° C Temp 60° C |
| U6K | 9.5m | 10mm | 35° C Temp 60° C |
| US73 | 10m | 30mm | 35° C Temp 60° C |
| US103 | 12.5m | 30mm | 35° C Temp 60° C |
| US730HES | 10m | 30mm | Continuously rated to 90° C |
| US103HES | 12.5m | 30mm | Continuously rated to 90° C |
All these pumps feature the specially developed Jung large, triangular, low-level float which is attached externally to the pump by a rigid float arm to ensure the automatic stop/start of the pump according to the fluid levels within the collecting tank. This float arrangement outperforms pumps with internal tube floats or cable floats because food debris, grease etc. cannot jam or entangle its movement.
Hot Water Handling:
Another important Jung product benefit is the performance of their US730HES and US103HES hot wastewater pumps. For applications such as pasta boilers, dishwashers or commercial heating discharge points requiring the pumping of very hot water – up to 90° C, these pumps are literally the only choice for pumping liquids of this temperature repeatedly or even continuously. Some of the pump’s design features that make this pump a reliable choice for very hot wastewater are: – Duplex rotary shaft seals, oil chamber, wet side SIC Mechanical seal, stainless steel motor housing, and grey cast iron pump housing/volute.
