D3000 Vortex





When is a vortex impeller the best choice?
 
In applications with long fibrous materials that could cause clogging of other types of impellers. Even if a rag should somehow get caught on the vortex impeller, it will easily fall off when the pump turns off at the end of the pumping cycle.
 
The performance characteristics of the vortex impeller provide excellent results for solids bearing liquids even in low flow, high head applications.
 
In media that contains sand and/or other abrasive particles. Because the vortex impeller is almost completely recessed into the volute, very little material comes in contact with the impeller, thus minimizing wear.
Vortex impeller
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, thus minimizing wear. Another advantage is the open design of the volute in conjunction with the use of semi-recessed impeller allowing larger solids to pass freely through the volute.

Abrasion resistant vortex impeller.
Where cast iron pumps are tough, vortex pumps are tougher. Even stronger yet are vortex pumps with hardened cast iron wet ends. By hardening the volute and impeller, the pump becomes three times more resistant to wear from abrasive applications.
