Hidrostal - Transfer Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, purees, and batters within processing lines.
• Handling wastewater or by-products from food processing operations, even with high solids content.
• Circulating brines, marinades, or other liquids in tanks for curing or flavouring.
• Emptying sumps or collection pits containing food-grade liquids or slurries.
• Feeding filling machines or other processing equipment with prepared liquid ingredients.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of immersible pump, capacities commonly range from 5 to 100 cubic metres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying from 2.2 kW to 30 kW or more.

Immersion depth

Immersible pumps are designed for varying immersion depths; buyers should confirm the maximum operating depth for this specific unit.

Viscosity handling

Hidrostal pumps are known for their ability to handle viscous liquids; the specific viscosity limit will depend on the impeller design and motor power.

Materials of construction

For food processing applications, wetted parts are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 316L) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Discharge connection

Commonly found with flanged or threaded connections, typically ranging from DN50 to DN200, to integrate with existing pipework.
