Deployed to stabilize high-volume fluid transfer operations, the Pedrollo F40/160B mechanical assembly directs large quantities of clear liquids devoid of aggressive particles. To guarantee optimal operational lifespan, the unit must be located within environmentally controlled building zones away from harsh weather elements.
Demanding a 400 V three-phase power feed, the 3 kW engine delivers solid high-capacity metrics, specifically logging a Max Head 32 m alongside a Max Flow 600 L/Min. Standardized flanged routing uses a 65 mm suction connection paired with a 40 mm delivery line to push liquid upward efficiently.
The physical configuration strictly follows EN733 standardized spacing. It draws effectively, maintaining a 7 m manometric suction lift while balancing heavy fluid dynamics internally to prevent unwanted hydraulic sheer and operational vibration over long operational cycles.
Material engineering pairs a thick cast iron volute with a smooth brass impeller to ensure consistent volumetric displacement. A Ceramic, Graphite, and NBR assembly provides primary leak prevention. The motor operates at IE3 efficiency grades, flanked by class F thermal protection and an IP55 shell.
