MCI 16-20T – multistage normal-suction 400V centrifugal pump
IPRO MCI T pumps are multistage, normal-suction centrifugal pumps with hydraulics made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, designed for applications ranging from household installations to continuous operation in smaller industrial systems. The reinforced mechanical seal allows operation with liquids at temperatures of up to 70°C, while the compact horizontal design facilitates installation in space-constrained systems.
Who it is for
-
Households and farms – the MCI 16T pump is suitable for drawing and transferring raw water before treatment, watering, and increasing pressure in three-phase-powered installations.
-
Installers – the compact design and 2x2" connections facilitate installation in small technical rooms and pressure-boosting stations.
-
Small service facilities – the pump is used in pressure washers, laundries, and pressure-boosting installations in public utility buildings.
-
Installers of larger industrial systems – three-phase power with the option of operating at 230V or 400V makes it easier to select a pump for different types of power distribution boards.
Applications
IPRO MCI 16T pumps are designed to supply systems for drawing and transferring raw water in households before treatment, including sprinkler operation and rainwater use. They are also suitable for public utility facilities, for increasing pressure in water transfer systems and in treatment systems. In smaller industrial applications, the pump is used in pressure washers, air-conditioning systems, and for transferring moderately viscous, slightly aggressive liquids. The pump does not treat water—if the water is to be used for consumption, it must be appropriately treated and its quality controlled.
In agriculture, MCI 16T pumps are used for irrigation, as well as fertilizer transfer and dosing. Their high capacity enables them to serve extensive sprinkler systems while maintaining high head. The MCI 16T industrial pump operates in a three-phase system powered by 3~230 V or 3~400 V.
MCI 16T features – description and technical data
The MCI 16T pump hydraulics—the casing, shaft, and connections—are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance regardless of the installation’s operating conditions. The SiC/SiC/EPDM mechanical seal provides greater wear resistance than typical graphite/silicon carbide combinations, resulting in a longer seal service life when handling demanding fluids.
MCI 16T motors are designed for three-phase operation with both 230V power supply (delta connection) and 400V (star connection), while the discharge and suction connections are sized at 2x2".

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – MCI 16T multistage pump
What applications is the MCI 16T pump suitable for?
The IPRO MCI 16T pump is used to supply raw-water intake and discharge systems and to increase pressure in households before water treatment, in public utility facilities, smaller industrial installations, and agriculture for irrigation and fertilizer dosing.
Can the MCI 16T pump motor be connected to both 230V and 400V?
Yes, the MCI 16T pump motor is designed for three-phase operation with both 230V power supply (delta connection) and 400V (star connection), making it easier to select the pump for different types of electrical installations.
Does the MCI 16T pump require additional dry-run protection?
The MCI 16T pump motor has built-in thermal protection; however, additional dry-run protection is recommended in the installation, especially when supplying water from a tank or a well with a variable water level.
How do I select the MCI pump capacity to meet my installation's requirements?
The MCI series offers a capacity range of 50 to 500 l/min, while variants in the MCI 16T group provide a flow rate of up to 450 l/min. You can estimate your installation's exact water demand using our water demand calculator.
Where can I buy the MCI 16T multistage pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. The MCI 16T pump is available from our trade partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Is the IPRO MCI 16T pump covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
IPRO – 36 months (3 years) manufacturer's warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service.
