Channel impeller pumps

Sewer impeller pumps are special types of sewage pumps that have been developed for pumping heavily contaminated media, in particular sewage containing solids or coarse impurities. They are often also referred to as waste water pumps. The characteristic feature of these pumps is the channel impeller, also known as the cutting wheel or cutting unit, which is fitted in the pump chamber.

The functionality and features of our channel impeller pumps include:

• Channel impeller: The channel impeller is a special impeller with blades or cutting edges that is designed in such a way that it is able to crush or cut up solids and impurities in the medium to be pumped. This enables the pump to handle media with coarser particles.
• Robust design: Sewer impeller pumps are generally robust and resistant to meet the requirements of pumping contaminated or wastewater-containing media.
• Blockage-free: The risk of blockages in the pump is minimized by crushing the solids and impurities in the medium. This is particularly important in applications in which media with coarse solids are conveyed.
• Efficient pumping: The pumps are designed to pump even heavily contaminated media efficiently without impurities accumulating in the pump and impairing operation.
• Areas of application: Channel impeller pumps are often used in sewage treatment plants, waste water systems, industrial processes and applications where waste water or contaminated liquids with coarser particles need to be pumped.
• Automatic drainage: Many sewer impeller pumps are equipped with an automatic drainage function that makes it easier to empty the pump and pipes after switching off.

These pumps are particularly suitable for handling challenging media where conventional pumps may reach their limits due to contamination or particle size. The sewer impeller pumps help to increase the reliability and efficiency of wastewater management while minimizing blockages.

The most important areas of application for industrial channel impeller pumps are

• Sewage treatment plants: Sewer impeller pumps are often used in sewage treatment plants to pump wastewater containing solids or impurities. They efficiently handle wastewater from households and industrial sources, breaking down the solids it contains.
• Sewage systems: In urban and industrial wastewater systems, sewer impeller pumps are crucial for moving wastewater from lower to higher areas where it is treated or disposed of. They enable the smooth flow of contaminated water, even with coarse impurities.
• Industrial processes: In various industries, such as food and beverage manufacturing, chemicals, mining and paper production, industrial channel impeller pumps are essential for pumping liquids containing particles or impurities generated during the production process.
• Construction site drainage: Contaminated water with solid particles often collects on construction sites, especially during periods of rain. Channel wheel pumps help to pump out this water efficiently and keep the construction site dry.
• Flood protection: In flood situations, sewer impeller pumps can help to drain flooded areas and divert the water effectively.
• Agriculture: In agriculture, channel wheel pumps are used to support irrigation systems, pump waste water out of barns and help with the drainage of fields.
• Sewage disposal in remote areas: In remote areas or areas without an established sewage system, sewer wheel pumps can help manage wastewater from households or smaller communities.

The versatility, non-clogging and the ability to pump media with solids content make industrial sewer impeller pumps an important component in wastewater and liquid handling in various industrial and municipal applications.
