Speroni KP(M) Industrial Peripheral Pump

Cast iron peripheral pump for light industrial circulation and boosting. The Speroni Pumps KP(M) range are cast iron peripheral pumps for light industrial circulation and boosting applications. Peripheral pumps are small, compact, and produce high head from modest motors. They are a common pump choice for light industrial loops, boiler feed from stored water, and any application where you need pressure more than you need flow. This listing covers the two 230V single-phase models: KPM50 (0.37kW) and KPM80 (0.6kW). The 400V three-phase equivalents (KP50 and KP80) are supplied to the same specification. All models have a 1" inlet and 1" outlet. Where the Speroni KP and KPM Pumps are Used Pressure boosting from a stored water tank (non-potable use). Light industrial circulation loops. Boiler feed from stored water (not direct mains). Small washdown applications. Non-potable welfare units and mobile accommodation. The KPM is not self-priming. The water source must be above the pump, or the suction line must be primed with a foot valve. For applications where the pump sits above the water source, the AKM60 is the self-priming equivalent. Choosing Between KP50, KPM50, KP80 and KPM80 An M at the end of the model name means 230V single-phase KPM50, KPM80. No M means 400V three-phase KP50 and KP80. The KP(M)80 is the more common specification. The KP(M)50 is for smaller applications or where only light duty is required. How KPM Differs from KFM The KFM and KPM are both cast iron peripheral pumps from Speroni with similar performance. The difference is the pump body design. The KPM has a simpler internal layout and is often the cost-effective choice for general use. The KFM has a brass pump body cover and is more common in industrial and boiler feed applications. Optional Accessories A pressure controller adds dry-run protection and automatic start/stop on demand. Important: WRAS Approval This pump is not WRAS approved and is not for drinking water supply. It is suitable for irrigation, sprinklers, fire systems, rainwater harvesting, cooling loops, and industrial or agricultural water.
