Product Overview
Light manufacturing workshops and assembly plants achieve balanced water distribution using the Calpeda MXH EI 1603 booster set. Built with 1 x Calpeda MXH 1603 multistage pump assemblies, the package delivers a maximum volumetric flow rate of 367 L/min to overcome sudden demand spikes across commercial pipework. The hydraulic wet ends produce a maximum shut-off head of 34 metres to maintain constant vertical static elevation without line starvation.
Hydraulically balanced for quiet commercial operation, peak fluid throughput from the pump reaches 367 L/min. System regulation is controlled by an integrated motor-mounted I-MAT variable frequency drive. The pump dynamically adjusts its operating frequency to match instantaneous draw-off rates, eliminating mechanical water hammer and destructive line pressure surges. A factory-plumbed 18 L membrane pressure vessel dampens transient micro-fluctuations, while digital pressure transducers provide real-time line feedback to protect against dry running.
The multi-stage pumping units are rigidly bolted to an electro-galvanised steel frame. Hydraulic construction utilizes premium 304 Stainless Steel impellers, stage chambers, and pump casings for superior corrosion resistance and longevity. The 3-stage hydraulic stacks connect into common manifolds featuring a 50 mm suction port and a 40 mm delivery connection. Each individual pump line incorporates dedicated nickel-plated brass shut-off ball valves and non-return check valves mounted on a vibration-dampened S235JR steel baseplate.
A three-phase 400V electric motor drives the multistage impellers with exceptional electrical efficiency. Operating with a full-load current rating of 4.8 Amps, the TEFC motor configuration incorporates IP54 ingress protection and Class F thermal winding insulation. The package is rated for continuous fluid temperatures from -15°C to +110°C and ambient plant room environments up to 40°C. Manufactured to strict European standards, the entire variable-speed booster system is backed by a comprehensive 24 Months manufacturer warranty.
Key Features
- An integrated motor-mounted I-MAT variable speed drive continuously modulates motor speed to maintain smooth, constant line pressure without cycling.
