A wastewater pump for conveying solids-laden wastewater includes a spiral housing with an inlet opening, an impeller with at least one vane having a leading edge running from the impeller hub in a backwardly curved manner, and at least one finger for wiping off contaminants from the leading edge. The at least one finger is arranged on the inlet inner wall and extends in the direction of the impeller rotational axis. At least one groove is present in a suction-side inner wall of the housing to receive and convey material that is removed by the at least one finger from the leading edge to. The leading edge of the impeller and the surface of the at least one finger which faces toward the leading edge are at an angle of 5° to 75° with respect to the rotational axis.

Wiping element for impeller leading edges of wastewater pumps

A wastewater-lifting system is provided. The wastewater-lifting system includes at least one bulky-material-collecting vessel for wastewater loaded with bulky materials which is guided therethrough, a liquid-collecting vessel for the wastewater which is freed from bulky materials and precleaned in the bulky-material-collecting vessel, and with a wastewater shaft for accommodating the bulky-material-collecting vessel and the liquid-collecting vessel. The liquid-collecting vessel and the wastewater shaft have at least one common wall surface. The liquid-collecting vessel defines a closed-off space with only a partially covered base surface in the wastewater shaft, and is equipped for this purpose with at least one wall surface independent of the wastewater shaft.

Wastewater-lifting system

A wastewater lifting station is provided, in which at least one solids collection tank contains at least one screen for guiding wastewater therethrough and retain solids. The screen divides the solids collection tank into a region containing solids and a region free of solids, and is connected in a pivotable manner by at least one hinge to a flange of the solids collection tank. The screen in an edge region away from the hinge has a rake of comb-type webs and holes that are open on one side in the screen plane. The wastewater containing solids flows through a feed into the collection tank, is filtered through the screen, and the wastewater that is free of solids is collected in a tank downstream. When the wastewater lifting station pumps, the wastewater that is free of solids is pumped by a pump in counterflow through the screen into a pressurized line while the feed is shut off by a check valve, and the screen pivots about the hinge and is back-flushed during the process. Reliable cleaning of the screen, even of fibers, is achieved during pumping owing the rake shape and the pivoting of the screen.
