NGX
PDF datasheet mirror for NGX (Calpeda Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
The NGX series are close-coupled self-priming shallow-well pumps with a built-in ejector, designed for domestic water supply. They feature a stainless steel casing and brass alloy impeller, with minimal use of plastic materials.
Applications
- For drawing water out of a well.
- For lifting water containing air or other gases.
- For increasing water pressure from flooded suction applications.
- As pressure boosting pump for central water systems with low pressure (follow local specifications if increasing network pressure).
- For garden use.
- For washing with a jet of water.
Operating limits
- Liquid temperature: 0 °C to +35 °C
- Ambient temperature: up to +40 °C
- Suction lift: up to 9 m
- Maximum permissible pressure in the pump casing: 8 bar
- Continuous duty
Electrical
- Motor type: 2-pole induction motor, 50 Hz (n ≈ 2800 rpm)

Features
- Exclusive diffuser design with flow control device for compact construction, fast self-priming, and low noise.
- Robust design for temporary abnormal operating conditions.
- Compact size for installation in restricted spaces and easier retrofit.
- Fast air evacuation reduces risk of air-pockets at the mechanical seal.
- Capable of lifting water from depths of 9 m in less than 4 minutes.
- Low noise due to reduced turbulence and velocity.
Performance
Detailed characteristic curves (H-Q) for various models and suction lifts, as well as self-priming capability curves (self-priming time vs. suction lift), are available in the official PDF. Performance tables listing P1 (Max. power input), P2 (Rated motor power output), current (A) at 230V and 400V, and head (H) at various flow rates (Q) are also provided for specific models.
Dimensions and weights
Detailed dimensions (L, H, w, h1, h2, etc.) and net weights (kg) for various NGX and NGXM models are provided in tabulated format with corresponding diagrams in the official PDF.
