Hidrostal - Immersible Transfer Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring food products from tanks, vats, or sumps.
• Handling waste products or by-products in food processing lines.
• Circulating liquids in cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems.
• Moving viscous slurries or liquids with entrained air.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from 5 m³/hr to 100 m³/hr, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 400V, 3-phase industrial power, with motor sizes typically between 2.2 kW and 15 kW.

Immersion depth

Immersible pumps are designed for partial or full submersion, with typical shaft lengths allowing for immersion depths of 1 to 3 metres.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with product are typically 304 or 316 stainless steel to meet food hygiene standards.

Viscosity handling

This type of pump is often engineered to handle liquids with viscosities up to 50,000 cP, depending on impeller design.

Solids handling

Units designed for food processing can typically manage soft solids or fibrous materials up to a certain size without clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the primary benefits of an immersible transfer pump?

  Immersible pumps are ideal for applications where the pump needs to be placed directly into the liquid, offering efficient transfer and often reducing the need for priming. They are particularly effective for sumps or tanks.

• Can this pump handle abrasive products?

• What maintenance is typically required for an immersible pump?

• Is this pump suitable for CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) systems?
