Compact marine utility installations requiring elevated pressure performance often demand pumps capable of stable operation under continuous-duty service conditions. The Calpeda B-TP 78 peripheral electropump combines a corrosion-resistant bronze hydraulic structure with a compact high-head peripheral hydraulic configuration suitable for marine feed systems, technical circulation duties, and controlled clean liquid transfer applications.
Its three-phase 415V motor delivers 0.37 kW rated output power while generating operating head up to 75 metres with flow performance reaching 16.6 L/Min. This hydraulic characteristic supports installations where strong pressure delivery is required alongside moderate flow operation within restricted onboard equipment layouts.
A precision-machined Brass CW617N EN 12167 impeller operates within the peripheral pumping stage to maintain stable pressure generation. Bronze CC480K EN 1982 construction across the pump casing and lantern bracket improves corrosion resistance in humid marine environments. The rotating assembly incorporates a Stainless Steel 1.4401 EN 10088 (AISI 316) shaft together with a Carbon-Ceramic-NBR mechanical seal arrangement. The 2-pole induction motor operates near 2900 rpm with IP54 protection and Class F insulation.
The pump is suitable for clean liquids without abrasive particles, suspended solids, or aggressive substances incompatible with hydraulic materials.
