Function: The impeller is responsible for moving the slurry through the pump by converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy.
b. Impeller Design:
- Input your slurry properties and operating conditions into the software to get recommended pump models.
Understanding the Importance of Impeller Wear Ring Maintenance
Another critical factor in impeller design is the material used for construction. Sewage pump impellers can be made from various materials, including cast iron, stainless steel, or thermoplastics. The choice of material depends on the chemical composition of the waste being pumped. For example, stainless steel impellers offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications involving harsh chemicals.
- Choose materials that can withstand the slurry's abrasiveness and corrosiveness. Common materials include high-chrome alloys, stainless steel, and rubber linings.
