Applications requiring balanced pressure delivery with moderate flow handling can utilize the Calpeda NG 7/18 self-priming jet pump for shallow well extraction and clean water transfer systems. The integrated ejector configuration supports stable suction performance across agricultural supply networks, pressure boosting installations, and utility water circulation duties.
Maximum hydraulic head reaches 74.5 m while flow output extends to 6.5 m³/h, supporting efficient pressure delivery across medium-to-large water distribution systems. Power is supplied through a three-phase 400V induction motor rated at 2.2 kW with operating current of 5.3 A while maintaining operating speed near 2900 rpm during continuous-duty service.
Flow transfer is managed through a brass impeller arrangement supporting smooth hydraulic movement and reliable jet-assisted circulation. Noryl diffuser and nozzle sections contribute to stable internal flow control while supporting operation with clean liquids and slightly dirty surface water under varying operating demand.
Cast iron construction across the hydraulic body, casing cover, and diffuser plate contributes structural durability during prolonged elevated-pressure operation. The assembly incorporates a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with NBR elastomer elements together with class F motor insulation and IP54 protection. Operating capability supports liquid temperatures up to 40°C with maximum permissible working pressure reaching 10 bar.
