Engineered for high-performance clean water handling, the Bianco FC550T is a heavy-duty cast iron centrifugal pump suited to agricultural, horticultural, and industrial applications. Its end-suction design ensures reliable and efficient operation across demanding environments.
The pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 500 L/Min and a maximum head of 54 metres, making it suitable for applications requiring strong pressure and steady flow such as tank filling, wash-down systems, and water transfer.
Built with a cast iron HT200 pump body, the unit incorporates a 304-grade stainless steel impeller and motor shaft for improved durability and corrosion resistance. Sealing is achieved using a carbon and ceramic mechanical seal supported by nitrile O-rings for consistent performance.
Driven by a 5.5 kW three-phase 415v TEFC motor, the pump includes auto-reset thermal overload protection, Class F insulation, and IP44 protection. It supports fluid temperatures from 4°C to 60°C and operates up to 8 bar, with 2" BSPF suction and discharge connections for high-capacity flow handling.
