The Calpeda B-T 61E is a compact three-phase peripheral electropump engineered for marine circulation systems, clean liquid transfer duties, cooling equipment, and pressure boosting applications requiring corrosion-resistant hydraulic construction. Operating on 400V three-phase power with 0.33 kW (0.45 HP) P2 motor output, the pump is suitable for installations where dependable pressure generation and corrosion resistance are important.
The peripheral hydraulic configuration combined with a precision-machined Brass CW617N EN 12167 impeller allows the pump to generate head up to 38 metres while delivering flow performance up to 40 L/Min. These operating characteristics make the B-T 61E suitable for compact marine circulation systems, utility pressure support, cooling installations, and controlled clean liquid transfer applications.
The pump casing, lantern bracket, and casing cover are manufactured from Bronze CC480K EN 1982 for improved corrosion resistance and dependable durability in demanding clean liquid environments. The compact close-coupled peripheral construction also helps reduce installation space requirements while supporting stable hydraulic performance in compact equipment installations.
The hydraulic assembly incorporates a Stainless Steel 1.4401 EN 10088 (AISI 316) shaft together with a Carbon/Ceramic/NBR mechanical seal arrangement for dependable sealing reliability and operational stability. The 2-pole induction motor operates at approximately 2900 rpm with IP54 protection and Class F insulation for continuous-duty operation in circulation and utility service conditions.
The B-T 61E is designed for clean liquids without abrasives, suspended solids, explosive fluids, or aggressive substances incompatible with pump materials. Operating conditions support liquid temperatures from -10°C up to +90°C, ambient temperatures up to 40°C, suction lift up to 7 metres, and maximum permissible casing pressure up to 12.5 bar.
