Strong delivery pressure and rapid self-priming performance make the Calpeda NGXM 6/18 suitable for demanding clean water duties where stable suction capability is required. The pump is commonly applied across pressure washing systems, shallow-well installations, and residential transfer arrangements operating under fluctuating suction conditions.
Its hydraulic configuration supports flow rates up to 100 L/Min while generating maximum head up to 54.7 m. A built-in ejector system assists automatic priming performance and maintains suction lift capability up to 9 m during above-ground operation.
To improve operating stability, Calpeda incorporates an exclusive diffuser geometry together with an integrated flow control device that helps reduce turbulence and lower running noise. Internal air evacuation around the mechanical seal also assists in protecting seal reliability during temporary abnormal suction conditions.
AISI 304 stainless steel construction across the casing and casing cover provides corrosion resistance for continuous clean water applications, while the brass impeller supports durable hydraulic efficiency under higher-pressure operating duties. The compact close-coupled layout also simplifies installation where available space is limited.
The single-phase motor operates on 230V power supply with integrated thermal protection, IP54 enclosure protection, and Class F insulation. Continuous-duty operation is supported for liquid temperatures up to 35°C with maximum permissible casing pressure reaching 8 bar.
