Utility liquid handling systems requiring moderate discharge capability with bronze wetted construction can integrate the Calpeda BC 20 for movement of emulsions and lightly contaminated fluids. Its centrifugal open-impeller arrangement supports unrestricted hydraulic circulation while maintaining compact installation characteristics within auxiliary service equipment and transfer assemblies.
Hydraulic output reaches 4.8 m³/h maximum flow with discharge head extending to 12.3 m, supporting balanced operating performance across low-to-medium pressure liquid movement duties. The pump operates through a three-phase 400V motor delivering 0.37 kW rated output power with operating current of 1.3 A at approximately 2900 rpm.
Stable circulation behaviour is maintained through an open impeller capable of passing suspended particles up to 4 mm without obstructing internal liquid movement. The hydraulic flow section assists dependable handling of moderately dirty liquids while reducing restriction within the centrifugal passage.
Corrosion-resistant bronze manufacture is incorporated throughout the hydraulic body and wetted components for service applications where bronze material compatibility is preferred. Carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces combined with NBR elastomer support elements assist shaft sealing reliability, while class F insulation and IP54 enclosure protection support motor durability during operating service. Liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C can be accommodated with working pressure capability up to 6 bar.
