Hydraulic performance is produced by a multi-stage impeller assembly featuring stainless steel impellers housed within stage casings. To protect the internal components from debris, a base-integrated suction strainer prevents the entrance of solids with a diameter bigger than 2 mm. The unit fits narrow wells with a 140 mm minimum diameter and is intended for standing installation.
Designed for garden irrigation and civil water supply, the Calpeda MXSM 504CG with float switch manages clean water transfer for domestic applications. It is suitable for water supply from wells or tanks, operating at liquid temperatures up to 35°C. The pump supports continuous duty operation in submerged environments.
Mechanical sealing is achieved through a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber containing oil for food machinery and pharmaceutic use. The construction utilizes chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 for the external jacket and delivery casing. It includes a built-in thermal protector and a capacitor incorporated in the float switch.
Driven by a 1.10 kW single-phase 240v motor, the model reaches a maximum flow of 133 L/min and a maximum head of 39 m. Drawing a rated current of 6 Amps, internal cooling is achieved by fluid circulating between the motor jacket and outer shell. This permits safe operation during partial submersion during extended run cycles.
FEATURES
- Constructed using chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 for all parts in contact with the clean liquid.
- Motor sealing is achieved using a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil-filled chamber for protection.
- Mechanical shaft seal lubrication is ensured by oil for food machinery and pharmaceutic use in the oil chamber.
- The pumped liquid dissipates motor heat during operation, facilitating safe partial immersion.
- Base-integrated suction strainer restricts the entrance of solid particles to a maximum diameter of 2 mm.
- Automated operation is maintained by a float switch featuring an incorporated starting capacitor.
- Motor winding is a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry type constructed in accordance with EN 60335-2-41.
- Certified IPX8 protection rating for continuous underwater operation at immersion depths up to 20 meters.
