Applications requiring stronger discharge pressure across elevated outlets and multi-point supply systems can benefit from the Calpeda P18-MXHLM 206 pressure package, particularly where stable clean water delivery is necessary during fluctuating demand conditions. The integrated 18L pressure tank assists with smoother pressure retention while reducing excessive motor cycling across residential supply networks, utility transfer duties, and compact pressure installations.
Hydraulic performance reaches up to 65 m maximum head with flow handling up to 4.8 m³/h, allowing the system to maintain dependable pressure across elevated distribution lines, pressure-sensitive transfer systems, and clean water supply applications requiring higher lifting capability. The single-phase 230V motor develops maximum input power of 1.44 kW while operating at rated current of 7.4 A for reliable continuous-duty pressure service.
Pressure generation is achieved through a horizontal multistage close-coupled hydraulic arrangement fitted with closed impellers for controlled discharge stability and balanced hydraulic efficiency during continuous operation. The pump is intended for clean liquids without abrasive particles or aggressive contaminants and incorporates threaded suction and discharge ports for straightforward installation into pressurized water systems and utility circulation networks.
AISI 316L stainless steel hydraulic components improve corrosion resistance under demanding clean water operating conditions, 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 long-duration operation, and permitted liquid temperatures range from -15°C up to +110°C according to operating conditions.
