Product Overview — What Does Caprari Offer?
Caprari organizes its products by installation type, comprising 8 main series:
Surface Pumps
- NC / NCH / NCD — EN733-standardized centrifugal pumps, versatile for water supply and building fire-fighting.
- P Series — vertical turbine pumps (line shaft), motor mounted above ground; draws water from rivers/deep wells, dedicated fire-fighting applications.
- SCC — split case pumps for high-flow pumping stations.
- CVX / HV — vertical multistage pumps, commonly used as jockey pumps for pressure maintenance in fire-fighting systems.
- PM / PMT — high-pressure multistage pumps (up to ~1,000 m head) for RO, misting, and long-distance pressure boosting.
- MEC — diesel engine-driven centrifugal pumps for fire-fighting backup and irrigation.
Submersible Pumps
- E Series — borehole submersible pumps (4″–22″) for groundwater extraction, featuring SAND-OUT technology for sand resistance.
- K+ / KCA — wastewater submersible pumps with the NON-STOP anti-clogging system.
Accompanying systems: CapSmart control panels & variable frequency drives, IoT monitoring system GREEN BOX (monitors pressure, flow rate, vibration, temperature, and enables remote pump control via app).
Caprari in Vietnam: Milestones Since 1995
Caprari pumps have been installed in Vietnam since 1995, beginning with the Thien Tan Water Plant project (Dong Nai) — 6 P-series pumps at 250 kW each, capacity 100,000 m³/day — and the Mekong River water intake station in Can Tho (CANTHOWASSCO). To date, many systems are still in operation after more than 25 years.
Other notable projects: Hanoi clean water supply (NC125-400), fire-fighting at Pullman Hotel Hai Phong (NCH100-315), Cityland Tower, Bcons Mien Dong, Syrena Hotel Hanoi (P9C).
Which Caprari Series Should You Choose?
| Application | Recommended Series |
|---|---|
| Municipal water supply, river water intake | P Series, SCC |
| Building fire-fighting (electric + diesel + jockey) | NCH + MEC + CVX |
| Borehole groundwater extraction | E Series |
| Wastewater treatment / drainage | K+ / KCA |
| Pressure boosting, RO, high pressure | PM / PMT |
To select the correct size, engineers need to know: the pumped fluid, suction source (tank/well/river) and depth, required flow rate (m³/h) and head (m), along with applicable standards (TCVN, EN, UL/FM).
