The Flygt N-technology pump
series for water and wastewater
HIGH EFFICIENCY WITH CLOG-FREE PERFORMANCE
No clogging. No wasted energy.
Just trouble-free pumping
Our Flygt N-pumps (1.3 kW – 680 kW) are designed to handle the world’s toughest water
and wastewater applications. And now, with our Adaptive N™ technology in all smaller
pumps, you get a superior way to avoid clogging, reduce unplanned maintenance and cut
your energy bills. That adds up to total peace of mind – and big savings over the long term.

Advanced technology guides
the design of every component
From the motor and seals to the shaft and impellers, every component in a Flygt N-pump
is designed, engineered and manufactured to optimize operation and prolong service life.
Advanced technology guides the design of all aspects of the pump. One example is the
Adaptive N hydraulic system, which is available only with lower-capacity pumps.
The fundamental N-technology, operations. When larger objects
which was pioneered by Flygt, has enter the pump, the impeller lifts
been incorporated into our pumps up due to the forces from these
for years. A more recent innovation solid obects passing through. This
is our Adaptive N impeller and self-cleaning design results in up
Adaptive N hydraulic technologies to 25% lower energy consumption,
(see below) which combine a unique regardless of impeller speed or duty
geometry, dual-blade impeller and point. It also minimizes vibrations,
other patented features to give you resulting in a longer life span for
sustained high efficiency and smooth the mechanical components.
1. B
ackswept leading edges –
ensures no sticking
When solids enter the pump, they are
met by the N impeller. The optimized
blade geometry, with its backswept
leading edges, ensures that no
material sticks to the impeller.
2. Integrated guide pin –
clears the center
A guide pin inserted into the insert
ring clears the center of the impeller
by pushing solids along the leading
edges towards the periphery of the
impeller for removal.
3. R
elief groove –
facilitates transport
When solids reach the perimeter of
the inlet, they are transported inside
the relief groove, guided along the
edge of the impeller vane, through
the volute and out of the pump.
Adaptive N – lifts up for large objects
When larger objects enter the pump,
the impeller lifts up due to the forces
from these solid objects passing
through. This avoids clogging and
assures continuous, energy-efficient
pumping.

Take advantage of our design
and engineering expertise
Are you getting the most out of your pump station designs? If you have questions
regarding fluid dynamics, optimizing your sumps, water hammer calculations or
even service, we can help. Flygt engineers have been researching and designing
pump stations for over three decades to achieve the lowest life-cycle costs.
And we have a strong service network to support you.
One of the biggest challenges in
designing a pump station is to
achieve a balance between efficiency
and performance. Often times, pump
stations are over-designed, resulting
in higher costs. One key focus is to
secure the best possible inlet
conditions while minimizing sedi
mentation and pump station size.
Optimizing your flow rates
Other critical factors include the
number, type and arrangement of
pumps, variable flow conditions in
the approach area, the geometry
of the structure itself and other
site-specific factors. It’s also vital to
consider and plan for operational
concerns such as pump control
schemes and access for equipment
service.
Finding the optimal solution
Whether you’re looking for a pre-
engineered and packaged pump sta-
tion, standardized design or a custom Extensive engineering
