Hydraulic performance for the Calpeda MXSM 509CG is produced by a multi-stage impeller assembly featuring stainless steel impellers for clean water transfer. A base-integrated suction strainer restricts the entrance of solid particles to a maximum diameter of 2 mm, protecting the internal components from wear. The unit fits narrow wells with a 140 mm minimum diameter.
The integrated float switch allows for automated domestic water supply and garden irrigation from wells or reservoirs. It handles liquid temperatures up to 35°C in continuous duty scenarios within civil and industrial water systems. Construction features all internal and external parts in contact with fluid in chrome-nickel stainless steel AISI 304.
Powered by a 2.20 kW single-phase 240v motor with a rated current of 14.3 Amps, the model reaches a maximum head of 91 m and 133 L/min maximum flow. Pumped liquid provides continuous motor cooling during operation. This design permits safe operation even when the pump is only partially submerged.
Mechanical construction features a close-coupled 5-inch integrated design with a double mechanical shaft seal and oil chamber housing oil for food machinery and pharmaceutic use. The motor features an incorporated capacitor in the float switch, built-in thermal protector, and triple impregnation humidity-proof dry winding.
