Hydraulic and shaft power of a pump, the required motor from the standard series and energy per shift.
Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.
Calculates the hydraulic and shaft power of a pump from flow rate, head and fluid density, and selects a motor from the standard series with a reserve.
The head can be given in metres or bar, the density for water, juice, milk, syrup or oil. Energy per shift is shown. The calculator does not check pump selection by catalogue, cavitation or NPSH.
The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
