The METTA MXVF series brings electronic speed control directly onto the pump. A permanent-magnet motor with an integrated variable-frequency drive continuously adjusts the pump speed to follow real demand, maintaining a stable set-point pressure without an external control cabinet. The drive is operated from a smart touch screen on the motor that displays operating data — pressure, frequency and status — and provides a built-in fault/breakdown guide for fast set-up and service.
Designed water-supply and pressure-boosting systems, the MXVF replaces the start-stop cycling of fixed-speed pumps with smooth, modulated operation. This cuts energy consumption, lowers noise, and reduces the pressure surges and mechanical stress that shorten the life of conventional sets. The permanent-magnet motor reaches efficiency above an equivalent asynchronous motor, in line with the IE5 efficiency class, so the energy saved over the operating life is substantial.
The range spans thirteen flow families from 1 to 45 m³/h nominal (flows up to 70 m³/h), each offered in multiple stage builds for heads up to 346 m and powers from 0.75 to 45 kW. Hydraulic parts are available in AISI 304, AISI316 stainless steel or duplex 2205 to suit the water quality, with flanged connections. The vertical in-line layout keeps suction and discharge on the same centre-line for a compact footprint and simple pipework.
By matching pump speed to actual demand, the MXVF series reduces energy consumption and avoids the pressure surges and mechanical stress associated with fixed-speed pumps that start and stop frequently. The motor reaches efficiency levels above an equivalent asynchronous motor, in line with the IE5 efficiency class.
Each MXVF pump is supplied with a permanent-magnet, variable-frequency motor with the drive electronics integrated on the motor. Operating data is shown and adjusted on a local touch screen.
- IE5-class efficiency — The permanent-magnet motor exceeds the efficiency of an equivalent asynchronous motor and meets the IE5 / first-class national efficiency standard, giving substantial energy savings over the operating life.
- Smart touch screen — A built-in touch display presents operating data (pressure, frequency, status) and allows set-point and parameter adjustment, with a breakdown / fault guide.
- Robust, Reliable Build — IP55 enclosure, Class F insulation and laser-welded internal parts ensure dependable operation and a long service life
- Low-noise operation — Permanent-magnet variable-speed control delivers very low noise compared with fixed-speed units.
