For those seeking both efficiency and precision in industrial liquid transfer, flexible impeller pumps offer an excellent solution. Thanks to their self-priming design, wide range of applications, and compatibility with various fluid types, they are trusted across many industries.
What Is a Flexible Impeller Pump?
This type of pump features an eccentric-shaped housing and a rotor with flexible vanes. As the rotor turns, it creates a vacuum that enables the pump to draw liquid on its own. This eliminates the need for an additional suction system.
Working Principle
As the pump shaft rotates, the flexible vanes attached to the impeller bend upon contacting the narrower section of the housing. This bending creates a vacuum that draws liquid from the suction line. The fluid then moves through the pump body and is pushed out under pressure as the vanes bend again in the narrowing area. This continuous cycle enables a smooth and efficient liquid flow.
