Calpeda releases a new pump for filter systems

Oct 09, 2023

Leading Italian manufacturer of electric water pumps – Calpeda, has released a new pump for filter systems, an updated product of the previous NMP 65/16 model of close-coupled self-priming centrifugal pumps.

The model, a family of close-coupled self-priming centrifugal pumps with built-in prefilter has been updated with a new product: NMP 65/12 which according to Calpeda is a completely renewed product, designed to answer market demands owing to a wider range of flows.

Its characteristics and performance makes it perfect for circulating water in the filter systems of fountains or large swimming pools. In terms of reliability and performance, the new pump reaches levels only given by systems that have a centrifugal pump with separate pre-filter upstream.

Product strong pointsUsing 3D modelling systems and fluid dynamics simulations, our R&D team completely redesigned the pump from a hydraulic and a mechanical point of view. The team focused on both the rotor and the pump body, leading to the creation of an innovative patented design.

The pump, which is light and easy to handle, has an excellent suction capacity (NPSH). It has the same power as the previous NMP 65/16 model, yet it can easily reach a flow rate of 120 m3/h.

Its large capacity stainless steel filter is easy to remove for cleaning and inspection.

In addition to the cast iron version there is also a bronze one, for use with aggressive liquids such as sea water.
