Achieving stable water pressure across multi-storey domestic layouts depends on the precise, consistent delivery found in this multistage configuration. Flow management in sensitive residential or light commercial water circuits benefits from the compact architecture of the 1HM series, which integrates seamlessly into standard piping layouts. By maintaining steady output despite fluctuating line conditions, this assembly serves as an effective solution for pressure-boosting applications where space is at a premium and reliability remains a core requirement.
Operational threshold limits are defined by a Max Head of 53.3 m alongside a Max Flow of 40 L/Min. The drive system utilizes a 0.58 kW power input rated for 415v supply, ensuring that industrial standards for efficiency are met during continuous operation. These metrics facilitate effective liquid movement across varying elevations, making the unit well-suited for demanding clean water transfer tasks where maintaining specific hydraulic pressure is critical to system performance.
Fluid dynamics are governed by a robust multistage assembly featuring AISI 304 stainless steel construction. This configuration minimizes turbulence across the series of stages, allowing for consistent energy conversion from the motor to the fluid. The internal hydraulic design specifically avoids narrow passages, promoting a smooth flow path that reduces frictional losses. By utilizing high-grade stainless components, the internal structure maintains its geometry even under sustained internal stresses, ensuring the pump retains its efficiency profile over extended usage periods.
Housing and motor protection are defined by an IP55 rating, shielding the electrical core against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The unit is fitted with a surface-mounted TEFC, 2-pole squirrel-cage motor capable of operating within diverse environmental temperatures. Mounted on a stable baseplate, the entire assembly is designed to mitigate vibration transmission during startup and operation. The suction and delivery ports are configured for 25 mm connections, providing a secure, leak-resistant interface for industrial plumbing systems.
Features:
- TEFC 2-pole asynchronous motor for continuous load handling
- Class 155 insulation to protect windings from thermal elevation
- IP55 environmental protection rating for external mounting
- TIG welded stainless steel components for maximum structural rigidity
- Suction and delivery ports compatible with 25 mm piping
- Asynchronous short-circuit squirrel-cage rotor configuration
