Clean water transfer duties requiring increased flow handling can integrate the Calpeda NGM 5/22 self-priming jet pump for stable shallow well and utility circulation operation. The integrated ejector configuration assists suction performance across irrigation systems, pressure support installations, and washing applications handling clean or slightly dirty surface water.
Maximum hydraulic head reaches 35.5 m while flow capacity extends to 9.5 m³/h, delivering balanced operation between pressure generation and water movement. The pump is powered through a single-phase 240V induction motor delivering 1.1 kW rated output power with operating current of 7.4 A and operating speed near 2900 rpm for dependable continuous-duty performance.
Hydraulic movement is managed by a brass impeller combined with a Noryl PPO-GF20 diffuser and nozzle configuration, supporting efficient suction lift operation up to 9 m. Structural stability is improved through cast iron pump casing and casing cover components, providing enhanced durability in utility service environments.
A carbon ceramic mechanical seal with NBR elastomers manages shaft sealing, while the single-phase motor assembly incorporates class F insulation, IP54 protection, and thermal overload protection. Liquid temperatures up to 40°C and working pressures up to 10 bar support long-term operating reliability.
