Impeller Types
Back to Top
![]() |
![]() | ||
Your choices are... | |||
Axial Flow Fan Turbine | Impellers that have multiple fins and convey the pumped media in the direction along the revolving axis of the impeller. Axial flow impellers are used at high speeds to promote rapid dispersion and are used at low speeds for keeping solids in suspension. Used for both mixing and air circulation applications. | ||
Axial Flow Pitched Blade | Used for Mixing. Impellers that have one or more paddles. They convey pumped media in the direction along the revolving axis of the impeller. Axial flow impellers are used at high speeds to promote rapid dispersion and are used at low speeds for keeping solids in suspension. | ||
Axial Flow Propeller | Impellers that have 2 to 4 blades and convey the pumped media in the direction along the revolving axis of the impeller. Axial flow impellers are used at high speeds to promote rapid dispersion and are used at low speeds for keeping solids in suspension. They are typically of one-piece construction. | ||
Screw Centrifugal | An Impeller used within a pump used for pumping liquid with solid objects and fibrous materials. The impeller has a single blade, axially extended at the inlet and developed around its axis much like a corkscrew. Linking this to a centrifugal outlet allows pumping with the minimum of agitation and shear | ||
Open Radial Vane | An Impeller used within a pump used for pumping liquid or air. Typically seen on smaller pumps and are used to pump liquids with stringy materials within. These impellers are vanes mounted to hubs. | ||
Semi open Radial Vane | An Impeller used within a pump used for pumping liquid or air. A full shroud is on one side of the vanes. The shroud increases the structural strength of the impeller | ||
Closed Radial Vane | An Impeller used within a pump used for pumping liquid or air. A full shroud is on both sides of the vanes. The shrouds increase the structural strength of the impeller. | ||
Vortex | An Impeller used within a pump used for pumping liquid. With a vortex pump, flow through the hydraulic unit is produced not by the actual impeller, but rather by a rotating vortex created by the impeller. Because the pumping action is created by the vortex, particles in the liquid do not come in contact with the impeller itself. | ||
Radial Flow Anchor | Used for mixing. An impeller designed for mixing higher viscosity products. An anchor is normally "U" shaped, and follows the contour of the tank. Anchor impellers are specifically designed to fit the process. Anchor impellers are used to sweep the entire peripheral area of a tank - both walls and bottom. | ||
Radial Flow Paddle | Used for mixing. Impellers that convey the media outward to the side of the tank. Larger slow-speed impellers, with two to four blades are known as paddles. Paddles are used at slower speeds often used for large scale mixing of solid/ liquid suspensions. | ||
Radial Flow Turbine | Used for mixing. Turbines are the multi-blade type Impellers that convey the media outward to the side of the tank. Turbines, which come in a variety of types, provide excellent circulation of fluid throughout the mixing vessel. | ||
Helical | Used for mixing. Helical impellers have a blade that act like an auger and a blade that fully sweeps the bottom and sides of the vessel. Helical impellers provide maximum agitation of the full volume with the least torque and stress. Provides thorough mixing of highly viscous compounds. | ||
Hydrofoil | High efficiency axial flow blade assembly. | ||
Mixed Flow | Mixed flow impellers provide mixing in both radial and axial direction. There is an assortment of configurations under this category. | ||
Rotating Coil | Coil (spring) shaped impeller mounted perpendicular to the impeller shaft. Provides a multi-directional flow pattern resulting in non-splashing action, faster mixing cycle times, reduced motor size and lower power consumption. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary impeller type. | ||
