Designed for light-duty agricultural and drainage applications, the Bianco Q550BS2 provides a practical solution for mixing and pumping calf milk, transferring water between tanks, and general drainage duties. Its compact lightweight construction makes it easy to deploy where occasional pumping is required, offering reliable performance in farming and residential environments. The pump is also suitable for short periods of water circulation, making it a versatile utility pump for everyday liquid transfer tasks.
Hydraulic performance is delivered by a 0.55 kW / 240v single-phase motor operating at a rated current of 4.2 Amps. The unit achieves a maximum flow rate of 193 L/Min and reaches a maximum head of 6.2 m, providing dependable transfer capability for tanks, pits and drainage systems. This electrical configuration is supported by Class F motor insulation, helping maintain reliable operation during routine pumping duties.
Liquid handling is managed through a vortex-style hydraulic design capable of processing suspended particles up to 35 mm in diameter. By creating a centrifugal flow pattern, the pump allows solids to pass through with reduced risk of blockage while maintaining stable transfer performance. This configuration makes the unit suitable for general drainage applications where debris or soft contaminants may be present in the liquid stream.
Construction features a stainless steel body and shaft for corrosion resistance in wet operating conditions. The motor assembly is protected by an IPX8 enclosure rating and supports practical submergence depths of up to 3 metres. An integrated flexible float switch provides automatic operation, while the supplied 10 m power cable enables convenient installation in tanks, pits and drainage applications where reliable unattended operation is required.
