Overview of Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller Pumps

The Pedrollo PKm60 is a peripheral impeller pump designed to transfer clean water free from abrasive particles and liquids that will not damage the pump’s components. It’s reliable, easy to operate, and cost-effective. Ideal for domestic applications, specifically for gardens and orchards, it can be used in combination with small autoclave tanks.

The pump body is made from cast iron with a brass insert set into the front housing for improved starting performance and protection from jamming. The impeller is made from brass. It has a flow rate up to 40 l/min (2.4 m3/h), a head up to 40 m, and a manometric suction head up to 8 m. The liquid temperature can be between -10 °C and +60 °C.

How does Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller Pumps Work?

This Pedrollo Pump operates on a simple yet effective principle. The pump is close-coupled to a TEFC brushless induction motor designed for continuous operation. A thermal relay is provided in the windings to protect against electrical and mechanical overload. The pump can be connected directly to the mains power supply through a 10amp fuse or MCB.

The peripheral impeller functions like a turbine with cupped vanes on the periphery of a disc. When the impeller rotates, it creates a low-pressure area at the inlet which draws water into the pump. The water is then pushed by the impeller’s vanes to the outer edge of the pump casing where it exits the pump at high pressure.

One of the characteristics of this unit is that it does not handle solids at all. This makes it ideal for transferring clean water free from abrasive particles and liquids that will not damage the pump’s components.

Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller Pumps Installation and Usage

Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller pumps are commonly used for various applications in residential, agricultural, and industrial settings. Here are some common uses:

1. Water Transfer: These pumps are often used for transferring water from one location to another. This can include transferring water from wells, tanks, or other sources to supply water for irrigation, domestic use, or industrial processes.
2. Pressure Boosting: Peripheral impeller pumps can also be used to increase water pressure in plumbing systems. They are often employed in buildings or areas where the water pressure from the main supply is insufficient.
3. Sprinkler Systems: In agricultural settings, PKm60 pumps can be used to power sprinkler systems for irrigation purposes. They are capable of delivering water at relatively high pressures, making them suitable for distributing water over large areas.
4. Water Circulation: These pumps can be used to circulate water in ponds, fountains, or other water features. They help maintain water quality and prevent stagnation by keeping the water moving.
5. Cooling Systems: In industrial applications, PKm60 pumps can be used in cooling systems to circulate water through machinery or equipment to dissipate heat and maintain optimal operating temperatures.
6. Booster Systems: They can also be integrated into booster systems to increase water pressure in multi-story buildings or areas with high demand for water.
7. Car Wash Systems: Peripheral impeller pumps are often used in car wash systems to provide the necessary water pressure for washing vehicles efficiently.
8. Heating Systems: In some cases, these pumps are used in heating systems to circulate hot water or other fluids through radiators or underfloor heating systems.

Installing a Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller pump requires careful attention to detail to ensure proper operation and longevity. Here’s a general guide for installing such a pump:

• Choose a dry, ventilated location for the pump.
• Mount the pump securely on a level surface.
• Connect the inlet and outlet pipes using appropriate fittings.
• Prime the pump to remove air from the system.
• Connect the pump to a suitable power supply following safety guidelines.
• Start the pump and monitor its operation for any issues.
• Test the pump’s performance and adjust settings if needed.
• Establish a maintenance schedule for regular upkeep.
• Prioritize safety throughout the installation and operation process.

Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller Pumps Components

The Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Impeller pump is made up of several key components:

• Pump Body: The pump body is made from cast iron, complete with threaded ports in compliance with ISO 228/1.
• Motor Bracket: The motor bracket is made from aluminium with a brass insert (patented), which reduces the risk of impeller seizure.
• Impeller: The impeller is made from brass, with peripheral radial vanes.
• Motor Shaft: The motor shaft is made from stainless steel EN 10088-3 – 1.4104.
• Mechanical Seal: The mechanical seal is made from various materials. The stationary ring is made from ceramic, and the rotational ring is made from silicon carbide. The pump seal shaft is made from graphite.
• Electric Motor: The PKm60 model uses a single-phase 220 V – 60 Hz electric motor with a thermal overload protector built into the winding.
