Calpeda BCM 16/1E Open Impeller Centrifugal Pump

SKU: 71730020035 | Model: BCM 16/1E 230/50 HZ IE2 R3‑XYXYRZY

The Calpeda BCM 16/1E centrifugal pump (SKU 71730020035) is a close‑coupled pump with open impeller, specifically engineered for special applications involving moderately dirty liquids, emulsions, or fluids containing small solids. This BC‑Series model BCM 16/1E 230/50 HZ IE2 R3‑XYXYRZY is widely used in industrial, agricultural, and marine environments where reliability and consistent performance are essential.

Designed with a free‑flow open impeller (vortex / recessed impeller type), the Calpeda BCM 16/1E pump allows the passage of solids up to 4 mm, reducing clogging and maintenance requirements. The bronze pump casing and lantern bracket, supplied fully painted, provide excellent corrosion resistance, making this model ideal for marine AC water pump applications and other demanding operating conditions.

The pump is driven by a 2‑pole single‑phase induction motor (230V, 50 Hz, 2850 rpm) with an integrated thermal protector and capacitor located inside the terminal box. The motor features Class F insulation, IP54 protection, and is suitable for continuous duty operation. The BCM 16/1E motor is inverter‑ready, allowing operation with a frequency converter from 0.15 kW.

Standard connections are threaded ports ISO 228/1, with NPT threaded connections (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1) available upon request, ensuring compatibility with North American piping standards.
