Where compact hydraulic systems require increased discharge capability while handling emulsions or lightly contaminated liquids, the Calpeda BCM 22/1 provides dependable centrifugal circulation performance. Its bronze open-impeller arrangement supports unrestricted liquid passage across utility service duties and auxiliary circulation equipment.
Hydraulic performance extends to 6.6 m³/h maximum flow with head capability reaching 18 m, supporting moderate-pressure liquid movement across medium-capacity operating systems. The hydraulic assembly is powered through a 240V single-phase induction motor utilizing 0.45 kW rated output power with operating current of 3.6 A and rotational speed near 2900 rpm.
The open impeller allows suspended particles up to 4 mm to pass through the hydraulic section without obstructing circulation. The centrifugal flow layout supports stable liquid movement during handling of lightly contaminated liquids and emulsions under varying operating demand.
Bronze construction across the hydraulic casing and wetted components provides corrosion resistance together with dimensional operating stability. Carbon ceramic mechanical seal faces operate with NBR elastomer support materials for shaft sealing duty, while the motor assembly integrates capacitor-start operation, thermal overload protection, IP54 enclosure protection, and class F insulation. Operating capability covers liquid temperatures from -10°C to 90°C with working pressure up to 6 bar.
