Elevated discharge performance for emulsions and moderately contaminated liquids can be achieved through the Calpeda BCM 41 within larger utility circulation systems and auxiliary hydraulic installations. Its bronze open-impeller centrifugal arrangement supports unrestricted liquid movement while maintaining corrosion-resistant wetted construction.
Maximum head reaches 22.4 m with flow handling extending to 15 m³/h, supporting increased hydraulic performance across medium-volume circulation duties. The unit operates through a 230V single-phase induction motor utilizing 1.44 kW maximum input power with operating current of 7.4 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
Inside the hydraulic section, suspended particles up to 4 mm can pass through the open impeller arrangement without excessive restriction to liquid movement. The centrifugal flow path assists stable circulation behaviour for lightly contaminated liquids during varying operating demand.
Bronze manufacture throughout the hydraulic body and wetted sections contributes corrosion resistance together with structural operating durability. Carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces with NBR elastomer support materials assist dependable shaft sealing operation, while the motor assembly integrates capacitor-start operation, thermal overload protection, class F insulation, and IP54 enclosure protection. Operating conditions support liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with permissible working pressure up to 6 bar.
