Suitable for rainwater harvesting and domestic water supply, the Calpeda MXSM 506 manages clean water transfer from reservoirs, tanks, or wells. It is used in civil and industrial applications with clean liquid temperatures reaching up to 35°C. The pump is intended for continuous duty operation in standing positions.
Performance characteristics for this 1.1 kW single-phase model include a 58 m maximum head and a 133 L/min maximum flow rate. Operating at 240v with a rated current of 8.3 Amps, the motor is cooled by the pumped fluid passing through the external jacket, which permits safe operation during partial submersion.
Multi-stage hydraulics feature stainless steel impellers for clean water transfer through the stage casings. An integrated suction strainer is fitted to the base to prevent the entrance of solids with a diameter bigger than 2 mm, protecting the internal components from debris. The unit fits wells with a 140 mm minimum diameter.
Construction features a 5-inch close-coupled integrated design with a chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304 external jacket. Motor protection includes a double mechanical shaft seal with an oil chamber using oil for food machinery and pharmaceutic use. The motor includes an incorporated capacitor, a built-in thermal protector, and a triple impregnation dry winding.
