Handle water containing suspended solids effectively with the Calpeda GXC 40-10, a three-phase submersible pump designed for sewage and wastewater drainage. This unit is suitable for liquids containing grain sizes up to 35 mm and is rated for continuous duty in civil and industrial environments. It provides robust liquid handling at temperatures reaching up to 35°C in standing installation positions.
Operating on a 415v three-phase supply, the 0.55 kW motor delivers consistent hydraulic stability with a 350 L/min flow rate and 9 m total head. Drawing a rated current of 1.6 Amps, internal cooling is achieved by fluid circulating between the motor jacket and outer shell. This design ensures the unit can operate safely during extended run cycles even when only partially submerged in collection pits or tanks.
Hydraulic performance is produced by a two-passage impeller design that facilitates the handling of clean and dirty water while maintaining efficiency. The vertical delivery port configuration assists in streamlined installation, and the smooth rolled-stainless steel surfaces ensure reliable flow behavior and easy cleaning. Manual operation requires a minimum submersion depth of 250 mm for safe performance.
Construction features chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 for all primary components, including the pump body, impeller, and motor jacket. Sealing is managed by a double shaft seal with an interposed oil chamber housing oil for food and pharmaceutical machinery. The 2-pole induction motor features a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding and is IP X8 rated for immersion up to 5 meters.
