Compact liquid handling systems requiring movement of lightly contaminated fluids can integrate the Calpeda C 16/1 for low-capacity centrifugal operation within utility equipment, auxiliary service assemblies, and small-scale processing layouts. The open-impeller hydraulic configuration supports smooth liquid passage where unrestricted internal flow characteristics are preferred.
Operating performance reaches maximum flow rates up to 2.4 m³/h with discharge head capability extending to 5 m. Hydraulic operation is driven through a three-phase 400V motor delivering 0.15 kW rated output power while operating with rated current of 1 A, supporting controlled liquid circulation across low-pressure service conditions.
Stable hydraulic behaviour is maintained through the open-impeller centrifugal arrangement, assisting continuous liquid movement through compact piping systems and restricted installation spaces. The small hydraulic footprint allows integration into equipment layouts where installation dimensions and simplified liquid handling characteristics are important.
Cast iron construction is utilized for the primary pump body structure to provide operating rigidity during service duty. G 1/2 threaded inlet and outlet connections support compact piping integration, while the three-phase motor arrangement combines directly with the centrifugal hydraulic section for streamlined installation configuration.
