Hidrostal Immersible Transfer Pump

• Wastewater treatment plants for transferring sewage or sludge.
• Industrial processes involving the movement of viscous liquids or slurries.
• Mining and construction for dewatering sumps or excavations.
• Food processing for handling thick liquid by-products or ingredients.
• Agricultural settings for manure management or irrigation.

Typical capacity

For this class of immersible pump, flow rates typically range from 50 m³/hr to over 500 m³/hr, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 400V, 3-phase industrial power, though other voltages may be available.

Motor power

Motor power for immersible transfer pumps typically ranges from 5 kW to 75 kW, influenced by required head and flow.

Material construction

Commonly, these pumps feature cast iron or ductile iron casings, with impellers often made from cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze for durability in abrasive or corrosive environments.

Solids handling capability

Hidrostal pumps, particularly with screw centrifugal impellers, are known for their ability to handle solids, typically up to 100mm in diameter, without clogging.

Installation type

This unit is an immersible pump, designed for full or partial submersion in the liquid being transferred.

• What does 'Immersible' mean for this pump?

  An immersible pump is designed to be submerged directly into the liquid it is pumping. This particular Hidrostal model can operate while fully or partially submerged.

• Can this pump handle abrasive materials?

• What kind of maintenance does an immersible pump typically require?

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• How does this pump handle viscous liquids?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
