The Bianco FC Series is a range of robust, close-coupled centrifugal pumps designed for reliable water transfer across agricultural, horticultural, commercial and industrial applications.
The range includes compact single-phase pumps for smaller irrigation and water-transfer systems through to high-flow three-phase models for larger agricultural, commercial and industrial applications.
FC Series pumps feature cast iron pump bodies with cataphoresis treatment, 304 stainless steel impellers and shafts, mechanical shaft seals and continuous-rated TEFC motors.
The FCT150M is a twin-impeller model, providing substantially higher head than the standard FC150M for applications where additional pressure is required.

Choose the Right FC Series Pump
The FC Series covers a wide range of flow and pressure requirements. When selecting a pump, maximum flow and maximum head should not be used on their own. A centrifugal pump’s actual performance depends on the required flow rate and total dynamic head of the system.
For irrigation and water-transfer applications, WTS recommends selecting the pump based on the required duty point, including:
- Required flow rate
- Static lift
- Pipe length and diameter
- Friction losses
- Filters and other restrictions
- Required operating pressure
- Sprinkler or irrigation system requirements
If you are unsure which FC Series pump is suitable, WTS can help select the pump against your required flow and pressure/head.

FCT150M — Twin-Impeller Model
The FCT150M uses a twin-impeller configuration to provide substantially higher head than the standard FC150M. With a maximum head of approximately 56 m and maximum flow of approximately 170 L/min, it is particularly suited to applications where higher pressure is required without moving to a larger three-phase pump.

Note: Maximum head and maximum flow are performance limits at different points on the pump curve. They should not be interpreted as the pump delivering maximum flow at maximum head.

Performance Curves
Each FC Series model has a different flow/head performance curve. The performance curve should be used to confirm that the selected pump can deliver the required flow at the required total dynamic head.
Need Help Selecting the Right Model?
Send WTS your required flow rate, pipe size and approximate lift/head, or let us know what the pump will be used for. We can help identify the most appropriate FC Series model for your application.
Warranty
All Bianco FC Series pumps include a 2-year Bianco Pumpz warranty.
