Flexible impeller pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that uses a rotating flexible impeller to move fluid efficiently. The flexible impeller pump, often made of rubber or thermoplastic, flexes as it rotates, creating expanding and contracting chambers that generate smooth fluid flow.
Flexible impeller pumps are ideal for handling viscous fluids and liquids containing soft solids. Their low shear action makes them perfect for delicate applications, including those in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, marine, and farming industries. These pumps are available in both hygienic and non-hygienic variants, ensuring they are suitable for both sterile and non-sterile environments.
When using rubber impeller pumps, industries benefit from smooth, low-pulsation flow and reliable performance. With the right flexible impeller accessories, such as replacement impellers and seals, these pumps are easy to maintain and adapt for specific needs.
