Hidrostal Transfer Pump

• Wastewater treatment plants for sludge and effluent transfer.
• Industrial processes handling viscous fluids, slurries, and chemicals.
• Food processing for conveying thick liquids and by-products.
• Mining and construction for dewatering and slurry transport.
• Agricultural applications for irrigation and manure management.

Typical capacity

Hidrostal pumps of this class typically offer flow rates ranging from 50 m³/hr to over 500 m³/hr, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V or 440V, 50Hz, with motor powers varying from 5 kW to 50 kW or more.

Immersion depth

Designed for full or partial immersion, the maximum operating depth is typically specified by the manufacturer, often up to 20 metres for standard models.

Solids handling

Hidrostal pumps are renowned for their ability to handle significant solids content, typically passing solids up to 100mm in diameter, depending on the model.

Material construction

Commonly constructed from cast iron or stainless steel, with specific material choices depending on the intended fluid and corrosive environment.

Footprint

For this class of immersible pump, the footprint is typically compact, designed for installation within sumps or tanks, with external dimensions varying with motor size.

• What does 'Immersible' mean for this pump?

  An immersible pump is designed to be fully or partially submerged in the liquid it is pumping. This allows for efficient operation without the need for external priming.

• Can this pump handle abrasive materials?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used immersible pump?

• Is this pump suitable for continuous operation?

• How does the pump handle air or partially submerged liquid?

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.
