Elevated pressure systems and demanding clean water supply installations require stronger discharge performance to maintain reliable delivery across higher lifting applications and extended pipe networks. The Calpeda P18-MXHLM 406 package combines a horizontal multistage pressure pump with an integrated 18L pressure tank to support stable operating pressure under varying demand conditions.
Maximum head performance reaches 63 m with flow rates up to 8 m³/h, allowing the system to manage elevated supply duties, pressure-sensitive transfer applications, and multi-outlet distribution systems requiring stronger hydraulic output. The single-phase 230V motor develops maximum input power of 2.0 kW while operating at rated current of 9.2 A for dependable continuous pressure service.
Pressure generation is supported through a close-coupled multistage hydraulic assembly using closed impellers for controlled discharge stability and efficient pressure development across continuous-duty operation. The pump is designed for clean liquids without abrasive content and incorporates threaded suction and discharge ports for simplified installation into pressurized water systems and elevated supply networks.
AISI 316L stainless steel hydraulic components improve resistance against corrosion during demanding clean water operation, while ceramic alumina and carbon mechanical seal faces with EPDM elastomers support long operational service life. Insulation class F and IP54 motor protection contribute to dependable continuous-duty performance, and permitted liquid temperatures range from -15°C up to +110°C.
