Product Overview
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.

What liquid temperature range is suitable for this pump?
Liquid temperatures from -10 °C to +60 °C are permitted, so the PKM80 should operate within this range when pumping suitable clean water.
What maximum head can the pump reach?
The maximum head is 70 metres; the PKM_80 provides higher-pressure clean-water delivery, while the actual head depends on the operating flow rate.
Which materials form the main hydraulic components?
The pump body is cast iron and the impeller is brass with peripheral radial vanes, forming the hydraulic assembly of the PKM/80.
What pressure limit should be considered during installation?
The maximum working pressure is 7 bar, and manometric suction lift can reach 8 metres; keep both limits in mind when installing the PKM 80.
Which applications are suitable for this peripheral pump?
Domestic water distribution and garden or orchard irrigation are suitable uses for the PKM80, provided the liquid is clean and non-abrasive.
