Medium-volume hydraulic circulation involving emulsions and lightly contaminated liquids is supported by the Calpeda BCM 41/1 through its bronze open-impeller centrifugal arrangement. Utility liquid handling systems and auxiliary service installations can benefit from the unrestricted flow characteristics and corrosion-resistant wetted construction.
Flow handling capability reaches 15 m³/h while discharge head extends to 17.7 m, supporting balanced liquid movement across medium-capacity hydraulic operating systems. The pump is driven through a 230V single-phase induction motor utilizing 1.01 kW maximum input power with operating current of 5.8 A while maintaining rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
Stable circulation behaviour is maintained through an open impeller arrangement capable of passing suspended particles up to 4 mm without obstructing hydraulic movement. The centrifugal flow section assists dependable operating performance when handling moderately contaminated liquids under varying service conditions.
Bronze construction across the hydraulic casing and wetted components contributes corrosion resistance during prolonged operating duty. Carbon ceramic seal faces combined with NBR elastomer support elements assist shaft sealing reliability, while the motor assembly incorporates capacitor-start operation, built-in thermal overload protection, IP54 enclosure protection, and class F insulation. Operating capability supports liquid temperatures ranging from -10°C to 90°C with working pressure capability up to 6 bar.
