3. Prodotto finitoview
The Pedrollo CPM150 is a robust centrifugal pump featuring a cast iron pump body with cataphoresis treatment. The impeller is made of INOX AISI 304 stainless steel, and the motor lantern is aluminum. The pump is designed for continuous service (S1).

Figura 1: Esploso view of the Pedrollo CPM150 pump, showing internal components. Key parts include (1) Pump Body, (2) Impeller, (3) Mechanical Seal, (4) Motor Shaft, (5) Bearings, (6) Motor Casing, (7) Capacitor (for single-phase), and (8) Stator/Rotor Assembly.
The single-phase 220V motor includes integrated thermal protection to safeguard the pump against unexpected starts or overheating. The coupling shaft between the impeller and the electric motor is made of INOX EN 10088-3 - 1.4104. The mechanical seal, composed of carbon, ceramic, and nitrile, ensures a tight seal between the pump body and the electric motor.

5. Installazione e configurazione
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity. It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional.
5.1. Montaggio
- Mount the pump on a solid, level, and vibration-free surface.
- Ensure the installation location is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures.
- Allow sufficient space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
5.2. Collegamenti delle tubazioni
- Utilizzare tubi di diametro adeguato per ridurre al minimo le perdite per attrito.
- Install a foot valve with a strainer on the suction line if the pump is not self-priming or if there's a risk of debris.
- Ensure all connections are airtight to prevent air leaks, which can affect priming and performance.
- Support piping independently to avoid stressing the pump's connections.
- Installare valvole di isolamento sia sulla linea di aspirazione che su quella di scarico per facilitare la manutenzione.
5.3. Connessione elettrica
- Verificare che l'alimentazione vol.tage and frequency match the pump's specifications (220V, 50Hz).
- Collegare la pompa a un circuito dedicato protetto da un dispositivo di corrente residua (RCD) e da un interruttore automatico appropriato.
- Garantire la corretta messa a terra della pompa.
- The single-phase motor includes integrated thermal protection. Do not bypass this safety feature.
5.4. Adescamento della pompa
Before the first start-up, the pump body must be completely filled with the liquid to be pumped. Open the priming plug (if available) or slowly fill the suction line and pump casing until all air is expelled. Close the plug securely.
6. Funzionamento
6.1. Avviamento iniziale
- Assicurarsi che la pompa sia correttamente adescata (vedere Sezione 5.4).
- Open any isolation valves on the suction and discharge lines.
- Accendere l'alimentazione della pompa.
- Monitor the pump for unusual noises or vibrations. If any occur, switch off immediately and investigate.
- Check for leaks at connections.
6.2. Funzionamento normale
- The pump is designed for continuous operation within its specified performance range.
- Avoid running the pump against a closed discharge valve for extended periods, as this can lead to overheating.
- Regularly check the pressure gauges (if installed) to ensure the pump is operating within expected parameters.
6.3. Shut-down
- Interrompere l'alimentazione elettrica della pompa.
- Close isolation valves if the system is to be drained or for maintenance.
7. Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata della pompa. Scollegare sempre l'alimentazione prima di eseguire qualsiasi intervento di manutenzione.
7.1. Routine Checks (Weekly/Monthly)
- Inspect for any visible leaks around the pump and piping connections.
- Ascoltare eventuali rumori o vibrazioni insolite.
- Check the motor temperature; it should not be excessively hot to the touch.
- Assicurarsi che le aperture di ventilazione siano libere da detriti.
7.2. Manutenzione annuale
- Inspect the mechanical seal for wear or leaks. Replace if necessary (requires professional service).
- Check the impeller for any signs of corrosion or damage.
- Clean any strainers or filters in the suction line.
- Verificare che i collegamenti elettrici siano saldi e privi di corrosione.
7.3. Preparazione per l'inverno (se applicabile)
If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures and will not be used, it must be drained completely to prevent damage from ice expansion. Disconnect power, open drain plugs, and remove any remaining water from the pump casing and piping.
