Medium-volume liquid circulation systems and utility service installations can integrate the Calpeda C 4/1 where compact centrifugal operation with unrestricted hydraulic flow characteristics is required. The open-impeller arrangement supports dependable liquid movement across installations utilizing larger pipe connections and moderate discharge capacity.
Flow handling capability extends to 15 m³/h with discharge head reaching 15.6 m, supporting balanced liquid circulation across medium-capacity operating systems. The pump operates through a three-phase 415V motor delivering 0.55 kW rated output power with operating current of 1.7 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
An open impeller configuration allows suspended particles up to 4 mm to pass through the hydraulic section without obstructing circulation. The centrifugal flow arrangement assists dependable operating performance when handling lightly contaminated liquids under varying service conditions.
Cast iron manufacture across the hydraulic casing and lantern bracket provides mechanical rigidity during extended operating cycles. Carbon ceramic seal faces operate with NBR elastomer support materials for shaft sealing duty, while the motor assembly integrates class F insulation together with IP54 enclosure protection. Liquid temperature handling ranges from -10°C to 90°C with permissible working pressure up to 6 bar.
