Maxmech Surface Water Pump 0.75HP Copper MQB-70

Maxmech Surface Water Pump 0.75HP Copper MQB-70

• Maxmech: This is the brand, commonly found in Kenya, offering a range of tools and machinery with a focus on affordability and practical functionality.
• Surface Water Pump: This means it’s designed to be installed above the water source (like a storage tank, shallow well, or reservoir). It draws water up through a suction pipe, which has a limited maximum lift (typically around 7-9 meters). It is not designed to be submerged in water.
• 0.75HP (Horsepower): This indicates the motor’s power output. 0.75 HP is equivalent to approximately 550 Watts (0.55 kW). This power rating offers a good balance of flow and pressure, making it versatile for many domestic applications.
• Copper (Winding): This is a significant advantage. It specifies that the motor’s internal coils are made of copper.
  • Benefits of Copper Windings:
    • Higher Electrical Conductivity: Copper is an excellent conductor, leading to less energy loss as heat.
    • Greater Efficiency: More energy is converted into mechanical work, meaning lower electricity consumption for the same output.
    • Lower Heat Generation: Less resistance means the motor runs cooler, extending its lifespan and reducing the risk of overheating.
    • Enhanced Durability & Longevity: Copper is more robust, resistant to corrosion, and less prone to degradation from heat or moisture compared to aluminum windings. This translates to a longer, more reliable pump life.
• MQB-70: This is the specific model designation. The “QB” series generally refers to peripheral (or regenerative) pumps. These pumps are characterized by:
  • A unique impeller design with many small blades on its periphery.
  • Their ability to generate relatively high pressure (head) at a lower flow rate compared to standard centrifugal pumps of the same horsepower.
  • They are good for applications requiring high lift or pressure boosting.
