Description

Impeller is the key rotating component of pumps such as water, oil, and industrial pumps. It generates centrifugal force to increase fluid pressure and flow within the system. By spinning at high speed, the impeller draws in fluid and propels it through the piping network, enabling efficient pump operation.


Features of Impeller

  • Creates Pressure and Flow
    Boosts fluid movement by converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy

  • Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Materials
    Made from stainless steel, cast iron, brass, plastic, or ceramic to resist wear and corrosive fluids

  • Available in Multiple Designs
    Tailored for various flow conditions, fluid types, and pressure requirements

  • Reduces Pump Wear and Motor Load
    Improves overall system performance while extending the life of the pump and motor

  • Applicable Across Multiple Industries
    Suitable for water systems, oil transfer, wastewater, and chemical applications


Types of Impellers

  • Open Impeller
    No side covers; ideal for fluids with solids like wastewater or sludge

  • Semi-Open Impeller
    One side cover; good for fluids with small particles or moderate impurities

  • Closed Impeller
    Covered on both sides for maximum efficiency with clean fluids and high-pressure systems

  • Vortex Impeller
    Generates a swirling flow to reduce clogging; suitable for solids-laden fluids

  • Multistage Impeller
    Multiple impellers in series to deliver very high pressure; used in high-rise buildings and boiler feed systems


Applications of Impeller

  • Water Supply & Wastewater Treatment
    For clean water, wastewater, and submersible pump systems

  • Petrochemical & Refinery Plants
    Transfers high-pressure oil and chemical fluids

  • Food & Beverage Processing
    Ensures sanitary fluid transfer in hygienic environments

  • Power Generation Facilities
    Used in high-pressure steam and cooling water pumps

  • Mining & Metallurgy Industries
    Handles slurry, chemical solutions, and abrasive liquids


Advantages of Impeller

  • Increases fluid pressure and flow efficiently

  • Compatible with various fluids—water, oil, chemicals

  • Multiple designs available for specific pumping needs

  • Reduces motor strain and boosts pump efficiency

  • Resistant to corrosion and wear, extending pump lifespan
