Bronze hydraulic construction across the casing, impeller, cylindrical suction section, and lantern bracket allows the Calpeda B-A 65-150C to operate in demanding liquid transfer environments involving clean or slightly dirty water. The close-coupled centrifugal arrangement combines self-priming functionality with compact installation characteristics suited to utility and drainage service systems.
Flow movement is managed through an open bronze impeller capable of passing suspended solids up to 10 mm while maintaining unrestricted hydraulic circulation. During restart after interrupted suction conditions, the self-priming configuration restores liquid movement automatically without requiring repeated manual filling of the suction line.
Hydraulic capacity reaches 48 m³/h with discharge head extending to 17.5 m, supporting efficient medium-pressure liquid transfer across large-volume drainage installations. The pump operates through a three-phase 415V induction motor rated at 2.2 kW rated output power and operating current of 6.6 A at approximately 2900 rpm.
Mechanical sealing is achieved through carbon ceramic seal faces combined with NBR elastomer support components. The motor assembly integrates class F insulation together with IP54 enclosure protection, supporting dependable continuous-duty operation. Liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C are supported alongside maximum working pressure up to 6 bar.
