Screw Centrifugal Impeller

Hidrostal is the inventor of the screw centrifugal impeller and is totally dedicated to its development and improvement. For more than 30 years a continuous research and development programme has given Hidrostal a technology advantage in handling difficult materials. This has lead to a family of pumps being developed with variations of the screw centrifugal impeller to solve specific pumping problems.

Key features of Screw Centrifugal Impeller are:

Energy savings of up to 50% compared with conventional centrifugal pumps. Same high efficiency maintained in Hidrostal’s immersible, submersible and end suction pumps

Non-clog impeller suitable for pumping high consistency media and large diameter solids beyond the capacity of centrifugal and recessed impeller pumps

Easy adjustment of impeller clearance permits continuity of original high-efficiency performance

Optional renewable liner to reduce maintenance costs when pumping abrasive media.

Low N.P.S.H characteristics

Available in choice of materials
