EVAK Stainox 5.50 400v
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The Evak Stainox 5.50 (400V) is a heavy-duty fully cast AISI 316 stainless steel submersible sewage pump for major corrosive-fluid and effluent duties. 3.7 kW / 5 HP three-phase 400V motor, 3″ or 4″ elbow discharge, vortex impeller with 45 mm solids handling.
A serious step up from the 3 HP 5.30 — 1,000 L/min max flow at 22 m max head. Suits major sewage stations, industrial wastewater plants, and food-industry installations where a 2 or 3 HP pump can’t sustain the duty. Three-phase supply required, manual operation, SQM seal frame.

More about this product
The Evak Stainox 5.50 (400V) is the 5 HP heavy-duty variant in Evak’s fully cast AISI 316 stainless steel submersible sewage pump range — the point where the range moves fully into industrial territory. Manufactured by lost-wax casting for high dimensional accuracy, the entire pump — body, impeller, motor housing, cover, shaft, rotor, and handle — is 316 SS. A 3.7 kW / 5 HP 2-pole three-phase motor drives a vortex impeller through a shaft supported by long-life ball bearings.
Compared with the 2.2 kW 5.30, this pump delivers 1,000 L/min at up to 22 m of head — 43% more flow and only slight loss of head margin for the extra 68% motor power. Available with 3″ or 4″ elbow discharge: choose 3″ for higher head, 4″ for higher flow. Suits major corrosion-critical duties — industrial effluent plants, chemical processing wastewater stations, food-industry treatment, and marine installations where cast iron would fail rapidly.
Combined with Viton gaskets, O-rings, lip seal, and cable gland throughout, the Stainox 5.50 handles environments that would rapidly corrode a cast iron pump. Three-phase 400V operation delivers smoother start-up, no starting capacitor, and simpler motor construction than single-phase — suits installations with dedicated 3-phase distribution and appropriately-rated motor starters. An SQM-100 series double mechanical seal — upper Ca/Ce, lower SiC/SiC by EKK Eagle Burgmann — runs in an oil chamber for reliability. Class F insulation for continuous-duty operation at 5 HP. Optional epoxy-based nano-coating and acid/alkali-resistant cable sleeve extend service life in the most aggressive environments.

What is a submersible pump?
A submersible pump is designed to operate fully submerged in the liquid it is moving. The motor is sealed inside the pump body and cooled by the surrounding water. Submersibles are used for drainage, sewage, septic tanks, deep wells and boreholes, and for raising water from sumps, cellars and floodwater. Many stocked at Anglian Pumping handle solids in suspension.
Can submersible pumps handle solids and sewage?
Yes – some submersibles are designed for clean water only, others handle solids up to 50 mm or full raw sewage. Anglian Pumping stocks ABS, BBC, Flygt and T-T Submersibles ranges that include vortex, single channel and grinder impellers for different solids handling requirements. Always match the pump to the maximum solid size and the type of effluent it will see.
When should I use a submersible pump instead of a surface pump?
Use a submersible when the water level is more than around 8 metres below the pump installation point – surface pumps cannot self-prime beyond that depth. Submersibles are also better when the liquid contains solids, when noise must be minimised, or when the pump needs to operate in confined spaces such as sumps and chambers where a surface pump would not fit.
