The Maxmech Surface Pump 0.5HP Copper-MQB-60 is a common entry-level peripheral water pump designed for domestic and small-scale applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications:
Key Features:
- Brand: Maxmech
- Model Type: MQB-60 (Peripheral pump)
- Power: 0.5HP (Horsepower), which is approximately 370 Watts (0.37 kW).
- Motor Winding: Copper. This is a significant advantage as copper windings offer:
- Higher electrical conductivity, leading to greater efficiency.
- Lower heat generation, which extends the motor’s lifespan.
- Improved durability and resistance to corrosion compared to aluminum windings.
- Pump Type: Surface Water Pump. This means it’s designed to be installed above the water source (e.g., a tank, shallow well, or reservoir) and draws water up through a suction pipe.
- Pump Body: Typically cast iron.
- Impeller Material: Often brass for durability.
Typical Specifications:
- Maximum Head (Vertical Lift): Usually ranges from 28 to 35 meters. This is the maximum vertical distance the pump can push water.
- Maximum Suction Lift: Around 7 to 8 meters. This is the maximum vertical distance the pump can draw water from.
- Maximum Flow Rate: Generally between 25 to 35 liters per minute (L/min), or approximately 1,500 to 2,100 liters per hour.
- Inlet/Outlet Size: Commonly 1 inch x 1 inch.
- Voltage: Single-phase 220V-240V AC (50Hz), suitable for standard household electrical outlets in Kenya.
