Applications involving emulsions and moderately contaminated liquids can utilize the Calpeda CM 22 where increased discharge pressure is required within compact centrifugal operating systems. The open-impeller hydraulic section supports unrestricted liquid movement across utility circulation duties and auxiliary equipment service installations.
Maximum discharge head reaches 20.5 m while flow handling extends to 6.6 m³/h, supporting elevated hydraulic performance across medium-capacity liquid systems. Power transmission is supplied through a 230V single-phase induction motor utilizing 0.8 kW maximum input power with operating current of 4.5 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 liquid circulation. Stable transfer behaviour is maintained across varying operating demand while handling lightly contaminated liquids and emulsions.
Cast iron construction across the casing and lantern bracket contributes structural rigidity during operating service. Mechanical shaft sealing is achieved through carbon ceramic seal faces with NBR elastomer support elements, while the motor assembly incorporates capacitor-start operation, internal thermal protection, IP54 enclosure protection, and class F insulation. Operating conditions support liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with permissible working pressure up to 6 bar.
