Product Overview
This industrial-grade centrifugal pump is engineered for demanding liquid transfer tasks within civil and process water infrastructure. It is purpose-built for applications requiring movement of fluids that may contain suspended solids, providing a solution where clog-resistant hydraulics are vital for system reliability. Operators working in heavy-duty environments will find the construction suited for consistent, professional-grade circulation duties.
The unit features a powerful 3.80 kW / 415v motor designed for sustained operation in diverse commercial settings. With hydraulics rated for a Max Head 20.1 m and a Max Flow 900 L/Min, this pump provides significant displacement capacity for industrial cooling or secondary supply lines. Connection points include a 50mm inlet and a 40mm outlet, ensuring fluid compatibility across standard piping configurations.
Construction relies heavily on AISI 316L stainless steel, utilized for the pump body, seal housing disk, and the open-vane design to maintain integrity against corrosive media. The internal mechanics are supported by an enclosed, externally ventilated asynchronous motor, balancing power output with structural efficiency for high-demand applications that involve liquid temperatures ranging from -10°C up to +110°C.
Installation is streamlined for horizontal mounting, supported by a reinforced galvanized steel foot assembly that minimizes vibration during peak operation. The design is rated IP55, ensuring protection against moisture and dust ingress in varied technical spaces. Plumbers should ensure that the three-phase power supply is integrated with external overload protection, as this specific model requires independent circuit monitoring to maintain safe performance standards.
Features:
- Resilient AISI 316L stainless steel hydraulic assembly
- Suitable for continuous process water handling operations
- TEFC asynchronous motor design with external ventilation
- Integrated 20mm solids handling capacity for raw fluids
- IP55 rated enclosure for secure industrial installation
- FKM elastomer seals compatible with varied liquid types
- Compliant with ISO 9906:2012 Grade 3B hydraulic standards

What metallurgy and open impeller materials deliver corrosion resistance in heavy industrial applications?
Industrial washing durability and chemical attack resistance rely on alloy metallurgy materials in the CO500/30, featuring AISI 316L stainless steel casing and open impeller, with ceramic/carbon/FPM mechanical seal rated for suspended solids up to 20 mm in diameter.
What three-phase electrical power and voltage supply run this heavy industrial open-impeller unit?
Operating the three-phase motor on the CO500-30 requires a 3 kW feed across 380–415 V, 50 Hz, three-phase drawing 6.57 A, built with IP55 dust and water spray protection, Class F insulation.
What horizontal surface placement conditions are recommended for this heavy open-impeller pump?
Installation on a level horizontal floor in industrial wash areas is recommended for the CO 500 30, incorporating an integrated foundation design and drainage.
What peak dynamic elevation head does this heavy industrial open-impeller unit achieve?
Operating across wastewater transfer duties, the CO_500_30 maintains a maximum dynamic elevation head capability of approximately 24.1 m.
What peak flow volume and discharge plumbing thread are engineered into this heavy industrial pump?
Fluid distribution with suspended solids utilizes the CO500/30, outputting a maximum flow volume of approximately 900 L/Min through Rp 2" (50 mm) suction and Rp 1-1/2" (40 mm) discharge threads.
