Open impeller pumps are practical and durable products used in applications where fluid transfer is required. Their operating principle is simple: the liquid is drawn in through the pump’s suction line and, thanks to the open impeller inside, it is propelled outward by centrifugal force. In this way, the liquid is transferred from inside the pump to the discharge line.
The most important feature of this type of pump is its ability to operate smoothly even when the liquid contains solid particles. Thanks to its open impeller design, substances like pulp, shavings, vegetable, or fruit pieces do not obstruct the flow of the liquid. In addition, being made entirely of stainless steel allows these pumps to be safely used in areas where hygiene is essential. Their durability and hygienic construction make open impeller pumps indispensable across various industries.
Where Are They Used?
Open impeller pumps are especially preferred in areas where hygiene is a priority. Here are some common application areas:
-
Drinking water filling facilities
-
Surface cleaning of food products (such as vegetables, fruits, and fish)
-
Industrial washing machines (dishwashers and laundry machines)
-
Beverage production facilities (especially for beverages with pulp)
-
Transfer of coolant water containing particles (in glass, can, and metal production plants)
-
Pumping of sewage and sludge water
-
Biodiesel production facilities
In short, they can be reliably used for a wide range of liquids, from clean water to wastewater.
Open impeller pumps are used extensively, from drinking water filling plants to beverage production lines, from vegetable and fruit washing processes to industrial washing machines. They are also preferred in the transfer of coolant waters in glass and metal production facilities, the pumping of sewage and sludge, and even in biodiesel production plants. Wherever there is a need to transport liquids containing particles or requiring hygiene, open impeller pumps provide a safe and long-lasting solution.
