Engineered for industrial process water and civil liquid handling, the Lowara CO500/22 delivers consistent results in demanding environments where efficiency and material longevity are essential. This horizontal centrifugal pump excels in systems requiring the movement of moderately loaded liquids, making it a reliable solution for cooling systems and facility water supply networks. Designed to accommodate liquids containing suspended solids up to 20 mm, the system ensures seamless operation within varied industrial configurations, providing a stable foundation for technical water handling tasks across diverse facility requirements.
The system achieves high-performance operation, featuring a maximum capacity of Max Head 16.6 m and Max Flow 750 L/Min. Equipped with a 2.66 kW motor, the pump maintains operational efficiency during continuous use. With an inlet size of 50 mm and an outlet size of 40 mm, it integrates into existing infrastructure with precision. Its hydraulic design is crafted to sustain performance levels in environments where fluid movement is critical, ensuring effective pressure management and flow delivery consistent with professional industrial standards for liquid transfer technology.
Constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel, the unit provides high resistance to corrosion, significantly extending service life in intensive duty cycles. The open impeller configuration is engineered to handle suspended particles without risking blockages, supported by an asynchronous, totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor. This motor configuration ensures thermal stability and sustained output, while the mechanical seal technology allows for reliable operation across a wide liquid temperature range of -10°C to +110°C, maintaining fluid integrity throughout the operation.
Installation is simplified through the inclusion of a sturdy support foot, while the threaded connections ensure a secure fit for standard industrial plumbing. The unit is built to withstand a maximum working pressure of 8 bar, ensuring stability under variable loads. Safety and maintenance access are addressed through the external design, providing ease of connectivity and long-term technical reliability. The pump is fully compliant with ISO 9906:2012 grade 3B standards, guaranteeing performance consistency across its intended service range in civil and industrial plant installations.
Features:
- AISI 316L stainless steel housing for fluid compatibility
- Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motor design
- Internal FKM elastomers for chemical resistance
- IP55 environmental protection against dust and jets
- Galvanized steel base for vibration-damped mounting
- Designed for liquids between -10°C and +110°C
- Hydraulic performance to ISO 9906:2012 Grade 3B
