Product Details

1. Product Overview

ETACHROM BC040-160/552 C11 is a KSB Etachrom B-series horizontal single-stage close-coupled (monoblock) ring-casing centrifugal pump, with ratings and main dimensions to EN 733 (formerly DIN 24255). Unlike cast-iron Etabloc, Etachrom wetted parts are     stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti) for better corrosion resistance, suited to food/beverage, brewery, chemical and mildly corrosive fluids.

The pump casing bolts directly to the motor flange (no coupling), with a maintenance-free mechanical seal (EN 12756) and impeller trim-to-duty. In the model: Etachrom = stainless close-coupled pump series; BC = close-coupled design; 040 = discharge DN40 (suction DN65 per EN 733); 160 = nominal impeller diameter 160 mm; /552 C11 = material/config and version codes. On a 2-pole motor (~2900 r/min) it typically delivers Q ≈ 15–25 m³/h at H ≈ 20–30 m.
