Industrial Heavy Duty Hopper Pump
Industrial Heavy Duty Hopper Pump

Industrial Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump

Our Industrial Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump is an ATEX-rated Progressive Cavity Pump that incorporates a hopper with an auger feed screw to efficiently move highly viscous and non-flowing substances with or without solids content. Available in 2 models, these pumps feature a rectangular hopper and customisable length, catering to diverse applications. Designed for pumping substances with poor flow characteristics, these pumps are suited for materials with up to 18% dry substance content, preventing the formation of bridges.

Typical applications for our Industrial Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump:

  • Sewage Sludge
  • Water Treatment
  • Industrial Sludge
  • Detergents & Chemicals
  • Papermaking Products
  • Agriculture
  • Petrochemical By-Products
  • Maritime
  • Grapes & Crushed Grapes (with & without stalks)
  • Tomatoes
  • Bakery & Pastry Products
  • Milk & Dairy (Cheese)
Overview

We have 2 models available for this pump, the DHP and JHP, each offering the following benefits:

DHP:

  • Direct drive coupling via flange
  • Cost-effective and compact design
  • Forces generated by hydraulic components are supported by the drive itself
  • Durability tested under heavy loads

JHP:

  • Drive connected to the shaft inlet via a flexible coupling
  • Superior performance and durability
  • Bearings absorb stress in the housing, ensuring high resistance against loads
  • Modular bearing housing design for flexibility in installation
Features & Benefits
  • Compliance: CE-compliant and ATEX-rated for use in hazardous environments
  • Self-Priming: The hydraulic parts of these Hopper Pumps enable excellent self-priming (up to 7m)
  • Patented Pin Joint: The pin-type joint, a core component, offers enhanced durability and reduced maintenance costs. Its unique design allows for the subdivision of axial loads and torque
  • Solids Handling: These pumps ensure efficient pumping of highly viscous and non-flowing substances, including those with high solids content
  • Customisable Length: The rectangular hopper design with an adjustable auger feed screw allows customisation based on specific application requirements
  • Drives: Optimal drive configurations (flange or coupling joint)
  • Materials: Casing, sealing shaft, rotor, and stator components are available in a variety of materials, including Stainless Steel AISI 316L, 304, Duplex and Super Duplex, ensuring compatibility with a range of different substances
  • Low Pulsating Flows: Tensional stress and pulsating flows are minimised, reducing the centrifugal effect. Low operating speed and axial development contribute to stable performance
  • Shaft Sealing: Various sealing systems, including mechanical seals, single and double cartridge seals, and gland packing seals, cater to specific usage and application conditions
  • Modularity: These pumps offer modularity in hydraulic parts, casing, seals, base plates, housing, and drive shafts. Each component can be customised without altering the unit’s structure, allowing for adaptability to various applications
  • Maintenance: These pumps are designed for simple maintenance, requiring minimal component replacement. Joint bushes allow for the replacement of worn parts without changing shafts and rotors
