Where moderately contaminated liquids require increased discharge capability within compact hydraulic systems, the Calpeda BC 22/1 provides dependable centrifugal liquid movement through its bronze open-impeller configuration. Equipment circulation duties, utility liquid handling, and emulsion service applications can benefit from the unrestricted hydraulic flow arrangement.
Maximum hydraulic flow reaches 6.6 m³/h while head capability extends to 18 m, supporting moderate-pressure liquid handling across medium-capacity operating systems. The hydraulic assembly is driven through a three-phase 400V induction motor rated at 0.45 kW output power with operating current of 1.3 A and operating speed near 2900 rpm.
Suspended particles up to 4 mm can pass through the open impeller section without excessive restriction to hydraulic circulation. The centrifugal flow arrangement supports stable operating behaviour during handling of lightly contaminated liquids and emulsions under varying service demand.
Bronze construction across the hydraulic casing and wetted components contributes corrosion resistance and dimensional stability during operating service. Mechanical shaft sealing utilizes carbon ceramic seal faces with NBR elastomer support materials, while the motor assembly incorporates class F insulation together with IP54 enclosure protection. Operating conditions support liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with maximum permissible pressure up to 6 bar.
