Product Overview
This Lowara CO series centrifugal pump is engineered for demanding industrial environments where consistent clean or slightly contaminated water movement is required. Ideal for cooling systems and process fluid handling, this unit provides reliability for facilities requiring non-stop circulation. By utilizing high-grade materials, the pump effectively manages fluids in civil or industrial setups where structural integrity is a primary operational requirement for maintaining uptime.
Hydraulic capacity for this configuration reaches a Max Head 12.7 m and a Max Flow 650 L/Min. Powering this movement is a 1.84 kW / 415v motor designed to sustain consistent performance during heavy-duty cycles. The unit features 50mm inlet and 40mm outlet ports to accommodate high-volume fluid throughput while maintaining velocity control throughout the system architecture.
Construction relies on AISI 316L stainless steel for the hydraulic body and internal components, ensuring resistance to aggressive liquids. The motor is a TEFC asynchronous design providing external ventilation to keep operating temperatures stable. Internal geometry features an open configuration to allow the passage of suspended solids up to 20mm, preventing clogging and mechanical fatigue during standard operational conditions.
Installation is simplified through a horizontal close-coupled design that integrates easily into existing plumbing manifolds. The pump is protected against liquid ingress with an IP55 enclosure rating, making it suitable for damp installation environments. Safety is bolstered by the FKM elastomeric seals which provide chemical resistance across a broad temperature range of -10°C up to 110°C, supporting diverse process water applications.
Features:
- Integrated AISI 316L stainless steel hydraulic body and casing
- Suitable for handling suspended solids up to 20mm diameter
- Asynchronous motor compliant with IE3 efficiency regulations
- FKM elastomer seals for broad chemical and thermal resistance
- IP55 rated enclosure for installation in variable environments
- Close-coupled design for minimized footprint in plant rooms

What maximum dynamic head does this open-impeller industrial circulation pump develop?
Circulating liquids with suspended particulates, the CO500/15 achieves a maximum dynamic head of approximately 16.0 m across its operating curve.
What peak flow volume can this open-impeller circulation pump deliver through its discharge outlet?
Open-impeller fluid transfer is powered by the CO500-15, discharging a maximum water flow rate of approximately 700 L/Min via Rp 2" (50 mm) suction and Rp 1-1/2" (40 mm) discharge ports.
How is this open-impeller circulation pump protected against abrasive particulate erosion and corrosion?
Suspended solids passage and corrosion defense rely on alloy metallurgy materials in the CO 500 15, featuring AISI 316L stainless steel casing and open impeller, with ceramic/carbon/FPM mechanical seal capable of managing suspended solids up to 20 mm in diameter.
What electrical power and three-phase supply voltage are needed to drive this open-impeller circulation pump?
Supplying electricity to the CO_500_15 requires a 1.5 kW three-phase motor connection on 380–415 V, 50 Hz, three-phase pulling 3.29 A, engineered with IP55 dust and water spray protection, Class F insulation.
Where is equipment room installation recommended for this open-impeller pump on a horizontal base?
Surface floor mounting on a horizontal rigid foundation base is recommended for the CO500/15, installed with an integrated layout and proper floor drainage.
