Which espresso machine is this rotary pump compatible with?
This replacement volumetric rotary pump is compatible with the La Cimbali M40 espresso machine. Have your technician compare the existing pump and connection requirements before installation.
What does the 180 L/h flow rating mean?
The pump has a rated flow capacity of 180 litres per hour. This is a water-flow rating, not a brewing-pressure setting or the amount of water used for each espresso.
Is this a rotary pump or a vibration pump?
This is a volumetric rotary vane pump, not a vibration pump. It supplies water through the La Cimbali M40's hydraulic system.
What is the pump made of, and where is it manufactured?
The pump has a metal body and rubber gaskets. It is made in Italy.
Will replacing this pump solve low water pressure or poor flow?
Replacing a worn or faulty pump can address a problem caused by that component. Have an espresso machine technician identify the cause of the low pressure or poor flow first, then check and adjust the machine after replacement.
Should a technician install the replacement pump?
Yes. We recommend having an espresso machine technician install the pump, confirm the connection requirements, and check the fittings and seals. Correct installation and adjustment are important before returning the machine to service.
What comes with the La Cimbali M40 replacement pump?
The package includes one volumetric rotary pump, two fittings, and two gaskets.
