Manage collection tank drainage and high-volume sewage transfer with the Calpeda GXCM 40-13. Equipped with an automatic float switch, this single-phase submersible pump is built for reliable sewage and wastewater transfer in civil and domestic environments. It is designed for handling liquids containing solids up to 35 mm and liquid temperatures not exceeding 35°C in the standing position.
Powered by a 0.9 kW single-phase 240v motor, the model delivers a high flow rate of 433 L/min and reaches a maximum head of 11.6 m. drawing a rated current of 6.6 Amps, the pumped liquid dissipates motor heat during operation. This design allows for safe continuous duty service during prolonged drainage tasks even when only partially submerged, supporting automated start/stop functionality.
Hydraulic performance is produced by a single-impeller two-passage design manufactured from chrome-nickel stainless steel. This configuration optimizes flow efficiency when managing dirty water with suspended solids, while the vertical delivery port helps reduce the installation footprint. The integrated filter protects the internal stages, supporting automatic activation at the required water level.
Close-coupled construction features a chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 pump body, motor jacket, and impeller for enhanced corrosion resistance. Sealing is achieved through a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber housing pharmaceutical-grade oil. The motor features a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding, an incorporated capacitor, and a built-in thermal protector for safety.
