The Leo XKM60 is probably the second most popular processor pump in the UK, second only to the TAM105.
It is sold as a clear water pump with a maximum temperature rating of 60°C, but it has been found by many home brewers to operate quite satisfactorily at temperatures up to 80°C and above, pumping oil and Biodiesel.
It is not self priming, but once primed has a very respectable suction lift for a pump of its size and can be used for transferring and filtering vegetable oil, provided the oil has a low viscosity.
The Leo XKM60 has the following specifications and performance:
- power(HP) … 0.5
- power(kw) ... 0.37
- Max. head ... 40m
- Max. flow ... 40L/min
- Max. SUCT ... 8m
- Inlet/Outlet connections … 1” BSP, female
- Body material ... Cast iron
- Impeller material ... Brass
