What is a Flexible Impeller Pump?

Flexible Impeller Pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that uses a rotating flexible impeller to move fluid through the pump. The flexible impeller is typically made of elastomers such as rubber or thermoplastic. As the impeller rotates within the pump housing, it flexes and creates a series of expanding and contracting chambers, generating a pumping action.

These pumps come in both hygienic and non-hygienic variants, making them suitable for a diverse range of applications and industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, marine, farming, and more. Most Flexible Impeller Pumps provide a smooth, low pulsating flow with low shear operation, and as their impellers are made from rubber, they are able to handle viscous fluids and fluids with high solid content without causing damage.
