Hydrophore Pump MO – Side Channel Pump

The hydrophore pumps – also called side-channel pumps or liquid ring pumps – are separating air and liquid from an Emulsion. This action is achieved thanks to the radial impeller and the side channels.

Hydrophore pumps are applied where the pure liquid is handled with low flow.  Having properties from the centrifugal pump and the positive displacement pump the hydrophore pumps also handle a mixture of gas and liquid. Due to the self-priming properties of the pump, the side channel pump initially acts as a displacement pump, but once the side channels are filled, it begins to function as a centrifugal pump.

• Flow Rate up to 9 m³H
• Max Head (pressure) up to 225 m 
• Outlet Sizes DN 1″ – 1½”
• Max Temperature 90° C

The pumps are available in bronze or cast-iron

Thanks to their compatibility with most liquids, hydrophore pumps can be used in many places – however, no solids can be present.

The pumps can handle water, fuel, lubricants, oils and chemicals such as ammonia. Yes, the hydrophore pumps can handle gas and steam content without any interruption in the flow of liquid or damage caused by internal parts due to dry driving.

Consequently, the pumps are often used for pumping liquids containing up to 50% gas content.
