Getting
the chop 140 times per second
Equipped with
a special impeller and cutting plate, Flygt chopper pumps will cut
up a wide variety of long fibrous materials and solid objects into
small, harmless pieces, that will not block up the pump or the piping.
The cutting
action can be compared to that of scissors. All stringy materials
or solids that enter the inlet are forced by the S-shaped impeller
into one of three areas in the high chrome cutting plate. There
it is chopped up by the sharp, hardened edge of the rotating impeller.
With an operation speed of over 1,400 r.p.m., material passing through
the pump is chopped more than 140 times per second into harmless
pieces.
The S-shape
design of the impeller also works to feed more dense medium through
the pump. |
