ZUWA exhibiting plastic impeller at IFAT 20

06 August 2010

The new plastic impeller extends the pumps’ range of applications as the impeller is resistant to a wide variety of chemicals not compatible with rubber or Viton impellers.

Like all ZUWA impeller pumps the versions with plastic impellers are dry self-priming to a maximum depth of 3 metres and need no initial filling prior to operation. The plastic impeller pumps are capable of transporting solid particles and air bubbles (slurping action) with the fluid. The maximum flow rate is 90 litres per minute at a working pressure of 5 bar. The fluid temperature should not exceed 60°C.

ZUWA presents the new impeller pumps at the IFAT in Munich from September 13 to 17 in hall A6, booth 545.
