Domestic water distribution and garden or orchard irrigation can be served by the Pedrollo PKM80, using a close coupled peripheral arrangement for compact clean-water pumping. Its intended liquid duty covers clean water without abrasive particles and liquids that are not chemically aggressive towards the materials used in the pump.
The PKM80 provides a maximum head of 66 m alongside a maximum flow of 50 L/Min. Its maximum working pressure is 8 bar, establishing the specified pressure capability while the hydraulic performance combines moderate flow with the higher head characteristics of a peripheral pump.
Pressure generation comes from a peripheral impeller fitted with radial vanes. This hydraulic configuration is appropriate to clean-water duties where water needs to be distributed or supplied through domestic systems, gardens or orchards, without introducing applications or liquid-handling capabilities beyond the specified service.
A cast iron pump body houses the brass impeller within the close coupled construction. The pump accepts liquid temperatures up to 40°C, while the compact arrangement combines the hydraulic and drive components into a straightforward assembly for installation within its specified operating environment.
FEATURES
- Peripheral impeller uses radial vanes to develop the pump's characteristic pressure.
- Close coupled construction combines the pump and motor arrangement into a compact assembly.
- Cast iron pump body provides the principal structural housing for the hydraulic section.
- Brass impeller forms the rotating hydraulic element within the pump body.
- Single mechanical seal provides shaft sealing between the rotating assembly and pump body.
- Stainless steel motor shaft provides the specified drive component for the rotating assembly.
- Aluminium motor bracket is fitted with a brass cover and front scraping anti-locking function.
- ISO 228/1 threaded ports provide the standard threaded connection arrangement specified for the pump body.
