Transfer water containing suspended solids confidently with the Calpeda GXV 40-9, a three-phase submersible pump designed for sewage and wastewater drainage. This unit is particularly suitable for liquids with a high solid content or filamentous particles, handling grain sizes up to 35 mm. It is rated for continuous duty service in civil and industrial environments at liquid temperatures not exceeding 35°C.
Powered by a 0.9 kW three-phase 415v supply, this model delivers consistent hydraulic output with a maximum flow rate of 350 L/min. It reaches a total head of 8.1 m and operates with a rated current of 2.3 Amps. Internal cooling is achieved by fluid circulating between the motor jacket and outer shell, permitting safe submerged performance during extended run cycles even when partially submerged.
A single-impeller free-flow vortex design moves clean or dirty water through the vertical delivery port. The construction uses smooth rolled-stainless steel surfaces for easy access and cleaning, which is also suitable for certain uses in the food industry. Manual operation requires a minimum submersion depth of 250 mm, while the base design protects the internal vortex stages from oversized debris.
Construction features chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 for all primary components including the pump casing, filter, and motor jacket. Sealing is achieved using a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber housing pharmaceutical-grade oil. The motor features a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding and is suitable for permanent installation at immersion depths reaching 5 meters.
