Flexible impeller pumps (FIP) are popular because of their economy, ability to pump solids, and ease of maintenance. These qualities make them very popular in breweries, breweries and distilleries.

How they work

The brass flexible impeller pump has a food-grade neoprene impeller, making the Food Grade Diaphragm Pump both strong and gentle. Due to the eccentric shape of the pump casing, when the volume between the blades increases and causes the product to be sucked and lifted, a vacuum is generated on the suction side. When the rotor rotates and the product is transported from the suction side to the discharge side, the blades bend, reducing the volume between them and causing the product to be discharged. It is very effective and gentle on the product.

Best features

Hygienic flexible impeller pumps are particularly useful when self-priming is required, and they are also very effective when pumping viscous or aerated food, brewing and wine products. They are also reversible and have a certain speed range. At lower speeds, they can also handle delicate liquids well due to their gentle pumping action. As long as it is chemically compatible with the self priming food grade transfer pump material, it can pump almost any liquid with a viscosity of up to 20,000 cps.

Capabilities include:

Self-priming immediately

Handles a wide range of viscosity

Able to transport liquids containing abrasives or entrained air

Able to transfer fluids with solids

Pumps in any direction, and can be installed in any direction

Even the last few ounces of liquid can be drained from the container

brewing

brass flexible impeller pumps are very popular in breweries for pumping wort, syrup, yeast syrup and sugary liquids. Their ability to handle viscous and non-viscous liquids makes them suitable for any brewery. You can also add jam and berries to make a fruity beer.

Distillation

The brewery again uses flexible impeller pumps to pump wort, and because they can pump viscous materials, such pumps are a workhorse that can move suspended solids without difficulty. Unlike other pumps, FIP can move suspended solids up to 1/3 of the inlet size.

winery

The flexible impeller is a popular winery pump because it is a workhorse that can be used for various purposes and needs. It is one of the few pumps used to cover almost all pumping tasks in a winery, including: wine transfer, must transfer, pumping pumice, bottling, CIP return, and transfer or removal from barrels. It is one of the best multi-purpose winery pumps.

The flexible impeller pump is affordable even for the smallest process facilities, and it is easy to troubleshoot and find replacement parts. It can perform a variety of tasks from CIP to pumping products.
