This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.

Probably this is the most versatile pump of all. Impeller mechanisms are
the basis of thousands of types of pumps. |
|
The number of blades can vary from 1 to 10 or more. They operate over a
wide speed range -- from less than 30 to more than 3000 RPM. |
|
Impeller pumps are excellent for moving impure liquids since they do not
clog very easily. For very impure liquids such as sludge, a single blade
is sometimes used. |
|
Impeller pumps range in diameter from less than a quarter inch to 10 feet
or more. Sometimes they have diffusers to increase efficiency. |
