Evak Hippo 80-550T 4.1kW DN80 Sewage Pump 400V
- Established 1975
- Trusted by thousands of customers
The Evak Hippo 80-550T is the flagship of the Hippo DN80 range and the biggest pump in the Hippo family — 4.1 kW / 5.5 HP three-phase, recessed vortex impeller, 76 mm free passage and a DN80 flanged discharge for guide rail installation. 1,350 L/min and 18.5 m of head, rated 900 L/min at 8 m. The most volume and the most solids of any Hippo, with enough lift for a serious rising main.
Built for the largest stations the range serves: developments, industrial sites, hotels and treatment works with high inflow and unscreened solids. Cast iron pump body, stainless steel motor housing, EKK Eagle Burgmann double mechanical seal. Manual operation for panel control. 10 m cable.

More about this product
The Evak Hippo 80-550T is the top of the Hippo DN80 range and the largest pump Evak make under the Hippo name. The model code says it: 80 for the DN80 discharge, 550 for 5.5 HP, T for three-phase. A 4.1 kW 2-pole motor drives a recessed vortex impeller to 1,350 L/min and 18.5 m of head, with a rated duty of 900 L/min at 8 m. Against the 65-550 it gives up 4 m of head and gains 150 L/min and 11 mm of free passage — the trade for a station where what comes down the drain matters more than how far it has to go.
76 mm free passage is the largest in the Hippo family. Raw sewage carries rag, wipes and solids that wrap around a smaller impeller; the DN80 vortex design keeps the impeller recessed out of the flow so solids pass through the volute without touching it. The DN80 flanged discharge (DIN PN10/16) bolts to a QD-80 quick-discharge coupling for guide rail installation, so the pump lifts out for service without anyone entering the chamber.
Cast iron pump body and volute, stainless steel motor housing, and an EKK Eagle Burgmann double mechanical seal (carbon/ceramic upper, silicon carbide lower) in an oil bath with NBR lip seal. Class F insulation, IP68, auto-reset thermal protector, ball bearings. Three-phase motor drawing 9.1 A, no capacitor, no float — supplied manual for control from a panel. 10 m cable. 51.9 kg — davit or hoist only.

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.
