The Onga 143 is an industrial-grade composite water transfer pump engineered for high-flow cooling tower supply; commercial reticulation; and agricultural irrigation. It operates efficiently when transferring large volumes of clean water across broad-scale rural or industrial systems.
Driven by a powerful 2.4 kW three-phase 415v TEFC motor; the unit draws a nominal current of 6.0 Amps. It achieves a maximum head of 41 m and generates massive water flows up to 455 L/Min.
The hydraulic layout features a glass-filled Noryl composite pump casing that stands up to corrosive fluids. It features a close-coupled motor configuration with a stainless steel shaft sleeve to protect the motor shaft.
Suitable for continuous duty; this model is certified to handle elevated liquid temperatures from 0°C up to 90°C. Heavy-duty 40 mm male BSP threaded suction and discharge ports facilitate high-volume plumbing connection.
