Where moderately contaminated liquids require increased discharge capability within compact hydraulic systems, the Calpeda BC 22/1 provides dependable centrifugal liquid movement through its bronze open-impeller configuration. Equipment assemblies and utility installations benefit from its combination of unrestricted liquid passage and moderate pressure performance.
Hydraulic performance extends to 6.6 m³/h maximum flow with head capability reaching 18 m, supporting stable liquid circulation across medium-capacity operating systems. Power is supplied through a three-phase 415V induction motor delivering 0.45 kW rated output power with operating current of 1.3 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
An open impeller design handles suspended particles up to 4 mm without creating excessive hydraulic restriction. Centrifugal flow characteristics maintain dependable liquid transfer behaviour when handling lightly contaminated fluids and emulsions under varying demand.
Bronze manufacture is applied to the hydraulic casing and wetted components to improve corrosion resistance during prolonged operating duty. Shaft sealing relies on carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces with NBR elastomer support materials, while the motor assembly incorporates class F insulation together with IP54 enclosure protection. Operating conditions support liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with maximum permissible pressure up to 6 bar.
