Calpeda C | BC Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps

Self-priming centrifugal pumps with open impeller for industrial, agricultural, and marine applications.

Flow: 0.6 to 15 m³/h
Head: 3.6 to 22.4 m
Power: 0.15 to 1.1 kW

Performance:
The Calpeda C and BC are close-coupled self-priming centrifugal pumps featuring an open impeller design. The C 16/1E model includes a free-flow (vortex) impeller suitable for handling fluids with small solids or emulsions. These pumps are designed to re-prime without a foot valve and are supplied fully painted for durability.

Applications:

Marine Industry:

• Ideal for seawater circulation in boats, including models like Aquilla, Beneteau, Sea Ray, and Bayliner.
• Perfect for yachts, catamarans, and cabin cruisers where silent, efficient water movement is essential.

Bronze construction ensures long-lasting resistance to saltwater corrosion.

Industrial and Agricultural Sectors:

• Efficient for pumping moderately dirty liquids and emulsions in industrial processes.
• Suitable for machinery cooling, lubrication systems, and general water transfer in agricultural setups.
• Operates reliably in environments where fluid quality may vary.

HVAC & Building Services:

• Perfect for circulating water in heating, cooling, and hot water systems.
• Ensures quiet, energy-efficient operation in residential complexes, office buildings, and commercial installations.
• Provides stable water flow for consistent temperature control.

Agriculture & Irrigation:

• Designed for use in irrigation lines, nutrient dosing, and greenhouse misting systems.
• Handles fertiliser-rich and slightly dirty water without clogging or wear.
• Maintains consistent pressure for automated farm irrigation setups.

Chemical & Processing Industry:

• Ideal for circulating light chemicals, process water, and emulsified solutions.
• Bronze components ensure compatibility with mildly corrosive fluids.
• Compact, durable design fits into tight plant layouts and demanding production lines.

Hospitality & Leisure (Pools, Fountains, Spas):

• Supports water flow and circulation in luxury pools, hotel spas, and garden fountains.
• Resistant to chlorinated and mildly salty water, ideal for continuous operation.
• Enhances guest experience by maintaining clean, clear, and consistent water movement.
