Water supply from tanks is managed by the Calpeda MXSM 505, which is utilized for clean water transfer in domestic and civil environments. It is suitable for rainwater harvesting and garden irrigation, handling liquid temperatures up to 35°C. The design supports continuous duty operation in standing positions within wells and reservoirs.
This 1.1 kW single-phase 240v pump reaches a maximum head of 47.5 m and a maximum flow of 133 L/min. Drawing a rated current of 7 Amps, the motor cooling is facilitated by the pumped fluid passing through the external jacket, supporting safe operation even when partially submerged.
Multi-stage hydraulics feature stainless steel impellers for clean water transfer, protecting the internal components from wear. The base-integrated suction strainer restricts the entrance of solid particles to those no bigger than 2 mm in diameter, ensuring the longevity of the hydraulic stages.
Construction includes all fluid-contact parts, such as the shaft and spacer sleeves, manufactured in chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304. Motor protection is provided by a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber. Single-phase units include an incorporated capacitor, a built-in thermal protector, and a triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding.
