Transfer duties involving clean or lightly contaminated liquids can integrate the Calpeda B-A 40-110A where dependable self-priming centrifugal operation is required. The pump is suited to service applications where fluctuating suction levels or partially drained pipelines may occur between operating cycles.
Hydraulic delivery reaches 18 m³/h maximum flow while discharge head extends to 15.4 m, supporting balanced liquid circulation across medium-capacity transfer systems. Power is delivered through a three-phase 415V induction motor rated at 0.75 kW rated output power with operating current of 2.2 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
An open bronze impeller permits passage of suspended solids up to 10 mm without creating excessive hydraulic restriction. Integrated self-priming capability assists rapid restoration of suction performance when the intake line empties, reducing the need for repeated manual priming during intermittent-duty applications.
Bronze construction is applied throughout the casing, lantern bracket, cylindrical suction section, and impeller assembly for durability in demanding liquid environments. Mechanical shaft sealing utilizes carbon ceramic seal faces combined with NBR elastomer support components, while the motor assembly incorporates class F insulation and IP54 protection. Liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C are supported with maximum permissible working pressure reaching 6 bar.
