A simply constructed impeller, the LSV or low solidity hydrofoil delivers a high pumping capacity for fast blending or solid suspension in water-like or low viscosity systems. Hydrodynamically efficient, the LSV produces a higher degree of axial flow discharge compared to a conventional Pitch Blade Turbine (PBT). Ultimately, this allows the LSV to suspend solids for less energy than a Pitched Blade Turbine making it an ideal solution for energy saving upgrades.
