Flexible Impellers - Operating Principle
- A vacuum is created as the flexible impeller vanes straighten upon leaving the cam, drawing liquid into the pump.
- The rotating impeller carries liquid from the inlet to the outlet port. As a consequence of their design, flexible impeller pumps can pass fairly large solids.
- When the flexible impeller vanes regain contact with the cam, they bend and the liquid is discharged from the pump in a uniform flow. Liquids can be pumped in the opposite direction by reversing the rotation of the pump.
