Shearpeller
The unique Shearpeller impeller design is now available on many of this firm’s pump lines, including pumps for pulp and paper, chemical processing, wastewater, mining and mineral processing. This Shearpeller design features a tapered inlet sleeve that prevents contaminants from plugging the impeller inlet area. The sleeve is loose to rotate independently from impeller. The slower rotation prevents contaminants from collecting at the impeller eye and prevents erosion of the hub. Contaminants such as tape, plastic bands and similar debris can plug the impeller inlet and disrupt operations. The Shearpeller design helps solve this problem by providing a generous front clearance with vortex- type design that prevents binding and plugging.

Model 3500XD X-Ducer medium-consistency paper-pulp pump
The Model 3500XD X-Ducer medium-consistency paper-pulp pump features a patented air-separation device that agitates paper pulp to assist flow into the pump inlet, while separating air from the water and fibers. The pump achieves lower operating costs and smaller motor sizes by increasing efficiency by 5–8% and enabling the pumping of medium-consistency pulp up to 10% without the use of a vacuum pump. Also, the head generation has increased, typically by 5%. The Model 3500XD uses the manufacturer’s inducer technology and can be retrofitted in the field
