Suitable for compact clean water systems requiring dependable suction capability, the Calpeda CA 80 supports stable hydraulic operation for clean water handling, domestic transfer duties, garden irrigation, and tank emptying applications. Its liquid ring self-priming configuration supports stable operation even where intermittent air may enter the suction pipe during operation.
Flow performance reaches 1.89 m³/h while head capacity extends up to 36 m, allowing the pump to maintain balanced clean water movement and controlled pressure characteristics across utility installations. The hydraulic arrangement supports smooth continuous-duty circulation performance during varying operating conditions.
Power is supplied through a three-phase 415V induction motor delivering 0.45 kW rated output power with operating current of 1.6 A. Continuous rotation near 2900 rpm is achieved through a two-pole motor arrangement supporting dependable hydraulic transfer and steady pressure generation.
The pump utilizes a star-shaped brass impeller operating within a cast iron hydraulic casing to ensure dependable handling of clean liquids free from abrasive materials. The assembly incorporates a carbon/ceramic/NBR mechanical seal along with class F insulation and IP54 motor protection. It handles liquid temperatures ranging from -10°C up to +90°C.
