AMT 5760-95 Submersible Shredder Sewage Pump — Built for the Dirty Work Nobody Else Wants to Handle
When you're dealing with sewage, sludge, and water loaded with fibrous solids, you need a pump that doesn't flinch. The AMT 5760-95 is a 1 HP, 115-volt single-phase submersible shredder sewage pump with a 2-inch NPT discharge, built from cast iron and stainless steel to handle the punishment of real-world wastewater and solids-laden liquid applications. Whether it's a residential septic system, a commercial sewage lift station, or an industrial processing environment, this pump is designed from the ground up to keep moving when lesser equipment gives up.
What sets the 5760-95 apart is its engineering. The enhanced spiral shredder mechanism plate works in tandem with a carbide-tipped, semi-open cast iron impeller to break down stringy, fibrous, and sludge-type waste before it ever has a chance to clog the pump. A triplex seal system — including dual ceramic-carbon mechanical seals plus an additional lower silicon carbide shaft seal within an oil-filled chamber — provides multiple layers of protection for the motor and internal components. Because this is a submersible design, it operates quietly and requires no priming, making installation and long-term operation significantly more straightforward than comparable above-ground configurations. The motor is rated for continuous duty with automatic restart thermal overload protection for single-phase units, and it runs at 3,450 RPM on 115V, 60 Hz power at 14 amps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the AMT 5760-95 require priming before use?
No. The 5760-95 is a submersible pump, which means it is designed to operate fully submerged. Because it is already surrounded by liquid during operation, priming is not required and is not part of the startup procedure.
Q: Can this pump handle solid waste and fibrous materials?
Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. The spiral shredder mechanism plate and carbide-tipped impeller work together to break down stringy fibrous material, rags, and sludge-type waste before it can obstruct the pump. The impeller is also self-cleaning to reduce maintenance demands.
Q: What electrical supply does the AMT 5760-95 require?
This pump operates on 115 volts, 60 Hz, single-phase power and draws 14 amps at full load. The unit ships with an unfinished power cord that must be field-wired by a qualified electrician. No controls or float switch are included.
Q: Is the liquid content percentage important for safe operation?
Yes, this is a critical consideration. The liquid content of whatever is being pumped must remain at or above 85% at all times. Operating below that threshold can damage internal components and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Q: What maintenance does the AMT 5760-95 typically require?
Periodic maintenance includes inspecting for leaks, clearing debris and sediment from the unit, checking for loose fasteners, and monitoring the oil-filled seal chamber. The triplex seal system is designed for long service life, but seal kits and impeller kits are available as replacement parts when service is eventually needed.
