We offer compact impeller, axial flow impeller and radial flow impeller, An impeller is a rotor inside a tube or conduit to increase the pressure and flow of a fluid. An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump, usually made of iron, steel, bronze, brass, aluminum or plastic, which transfers energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped by accelerating the fluid outwards from the center of rotation. The velocity achieved by the impeller transfers into pressure when the outward movement of the fluid is confined by the pump casing. Impellers are usually short cylinders with an open inlet (called an eye) to accept incoming fluid, vanes to push the fluid radially, and a splinted, keyed or threaded bore to accept a drive shaft. Impellers in agitated tanks are used to mix fluids or slurry in the tank. This can be used to combine materials; solids, liquids, gas. Mixing the fluids in a tank is very important if there are gradients in conditions such as temperature or concentration.

There are two types of impellers, depending on the flow regime created (see figure): • axial flow impeller • radial flow impeller. Radial flow impellers impose essentially shear stress to the fluid, and are used, for example, when we need to mix immiscible liquids or in general when there is a deformable interface to break. Another application of radial flow impellers are the mixing of very viscous fluids. Axial flow impellers impose essentially bulk motion, and are used on homogenization processes, in which is important to increase fluid volumetric flow rate. Our range of Impellers are crafted for power performance and speedy transfer of energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped. The compact Impellers are made up of iron, steel, aluminum or plastic for various applications. The whole device is coated with materials for smooth and rust free operations in order to maintain minimum pressure load on the motor for long functional life. The compact impeller, axial flow impeller and radial flow impeller can be modeled into required designs as per customer's instructions.
