Manage dirty water drainage effectively with the Calpeda GXC 40-13, a powerful three-phase submersible pump for sewage and wastewater transfer. This unit handles clean or dirty water with suspended solids up to 35 mm at liquid temperatures up to 35°C. It is rated for continuous duty service in civil and industrial drainage systems, providing reliable high-volume performance in standing installation positions.
Powered by a 0.9 kW three-phase 415v supply, this model delivers a maximum flow rate of 433 L/min and reaches a total head of 11.6 m. Drawing a rated current of 2.3 Amps, the pumped liquid provides continuous motor cooling during operation by circulating through the external jacket. This self-cooling capability ensures the unit can operate safely even when the motor is only partially submerged in tanks or collection pits.
The hydraulic configuration utilizes a two-passage impeller design manufactured from chrome-nickel stainless steel to move clean or dirty liquids efficiently. Flow behavior is optimized through the vertical delivery port, while the integrated filter restricts the entry of oversized solids. This configuration supports reliable extraction tasks in high-solid environments with a minimum submersion depth of 250 mm.
Mechanical durability is provided by the use of AISI 304 stainless steel for the external jacket, motor jacket, and impeller. Sealing is achieved using a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber housing pharmaceutical-grade oil for lubrication. The induction motor includes a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding and is suitable for permanent installation at immersion depths up to 5 meters.
