The Calpeda CTM 60 is a single-phase peripheral close-coupled pump engineered for clean water transfer, compact circulation systems, and pressure support applications requiring dependable performance within reduced installation space. Operating on 230V power with 0.55 kW input and integrated thermal protector, the pump is suitable for utility systems where compact dimensions and stable pressure generation are important.
The peripheral hydraulic configuration combined with a precision-machined Brass CW617N EN 12167 impeller allows the pump to generate head up to 41 metres while delivering flow performance up to 2.3 m³/h (38.3 L/Min). This operating characteristic makes the CTM 60 suitable for pressure systems, cooling circulation equipment, compact transfer duties, and installations requiring controlled clean liquid movement rather than high-volume pumping.
The patented compact construction integrates the motor casing and pump-side wall into a single-piece assembly that improves structural rigidity while reducing overall installation space requirements. The protected motor configuration also helps prevent external water ingress during operation, supporting dependable service conditions in compact equipment installations.
The hydraulic casing is manufactured from Cast Iron GJL 200 EN 1561 for dependable durability and operational rigidity. A Steel 1.4104 EN 10088 (AISI 430F) shaft combined with a Carbon/Ceramic/NBR mechanical seal supports reliable sealing performance and mechanical stability during continuous-duty operation. The single-phase motor includes IP54 protection, Class F insulation, thermal overload protection, and 2.5 Amp rated current for dependable operating safety.
