Compact marine utility installations requiring elevated pressure performance often demand pumps capable of stable operation under continuous-duty service conditions. The Calpeda B-TP 78 peripheral electropump combines a corrosion-resistant bronze hydraulic structure with a compact high-head pumping configuration suitable for marine feed systems, onboard circulation duties, auxiliary pressure transfer, and technical clean liquid handling applications.
Its three-phase 400V motor delivers 0.37 kW rated output power while producing operating head up to 75 metres with flow performance reaching 16.6 L/Min. The peripheral hydraulic arrangement is optimized for applications where strong pressure generation is required across relatively low-flow operating conditions.
The hydraulic stage incorporates a precision-machined Brass CW617N EN 12167 impeller configured to maintain pressure-oriented hydraulic behaviour relative to the pump’s compact dimensions. Its close-coupled electropump structure also assists installation flexibility inside restricted marine equipment layouts, onboard service systems, circulation arrangements, and compact pressure transfer assemblies.
Hydraulic body components including the pump casing, lantern bracket, and casing cover are manufactured from Bronze CC480K EN 1982 for improved corrosion resistance in humid and marine operating environments. The rotating assembly incorporates a Stainless Steel 1.4401 EN 10088 (AISI 316) shaft together with a Carbon-Ceramic-NBR mechanical seal arrangement. The 2-pole induction motor operates near 2900 rpm with IP54 protection and Class F insulation.
The pump is suitable for clean liquids without abrasive particles, suspended solids, or aggressive substances incompatible with hydraulic materials. Its compact high-pressure hydraulic configuration supports dependable circulation and pressure transfer performance across marine utility systems.
