Cavitation
The term cavitation refers to a physical phenomenon involving hydraulic systems and machines. It is the formation of small bubbles of vapour that collapse instantaneously to generate small, very high-pressure jets which, in the long term, damage the pump. In general, given that cavitation is the result of friction and turbulence in […]
The most suitable solution thanks to Pump Selector
Calpeda has launched the newest version of its Pump Selector. The software was designed to be an instrument for supporting selection. Our technical-sales office is always available to advise on the best choice and supply accurate product specifications, but thanks to the pump selector clients are easily, immediately and independently led towards the most suitable […]
Thanks, Paco, for this great adventure!
We are ecstatic about the success of our champion, the speedway ace Paco Castagna, of whom we are the main sponsor. Paco has just won his second consecutive Italian title, a success obtained thanks to his talent and determination. The new champion is following in his father’s footsteps: Armando Castagna was, in fact, one of […]
Bearings that are 100% reliable: longer lasting and more energy efficient
Even details are important when making a pump. Bearing life, for example, is a key aspect on the reliability of the pump. The purpose of ball bearings is mainly to support the whole load of the shaft line and also withstand the axial thrust of the rotor. Pump manufacturers usually guarantee that their bearings […]

Calpeda pump casings = 100% reliability
What makes our pumps special? After an all-round hydraulic test, here’s another aspect that explains Calpeda’s special approach to its products. This time our concentration is on pump casings, in particular those of the NM series centrifugal pumps. The starting point is the UNI-EN 12162 Standard, namely the standard that specifies the hydrostatic test procedure […]
Submersible pumps
Submersible pumps are centrifugal, typically vertical, and can operate when immersed in the liquid to be pumped. The motor and pump are made from a single block. As the motor has to work while immersed in the liquid to be pumped, it is made to be perfectly waterproof. A submersible pump, however, is different from […]
Ken Hall, Honorary Life Council Member of Europump
Ken Hall the Managing Director of our UK subsidiary and now Regional Manager of our Sub-Saharan Africa operations stood down as the UK representative on Europump Council (The European Association of Pump Manufacturers) at the last Europump General Assembly held in Bodrum, Turkey. Both Ken and his wife Serena were honoured by the outgoing President, […]
100% Hydraulic Test
A characteristic that has always marked Calpeda production is the test phase, which is extended to all our products. It is important to highlight that when we speak about testing we do not just mean the different control protocols relative to design, the assembly procedures and the compliance of the individual parts. What guarantees the […]
Peripheral Pumps
Peripheral electric pumps may generally be regarded as an intermediate category between centrifugal pumps and volumetric pumps. While in the first category, an increase in the head implies a decrease in the flow rate, in the latter the flow rate is not affected by pressure. Instead, the curve of the peripheral pumps follows a trend […]
