Vertical Mixed Flow Pump | High Flow Low Head Water Transfer Solution
Product Description
The Vertical Mixed Flow Pump combines the high-flow characteristics of axial flow pumps with the pressure-building ability of centrifugal designs, creating an optimal solution for large-volume water transfer at moderate heads. This vertical turbine-style pump features a unique impeller design that pushes water at an angle between radial and axial flow, delivering superior efficiency for applications requiring substantial water movement without extreme pressure requirements.
Engineered for reliable performance in raw water intake, agricultural irrigation, and industrial cooling systems, this pump’s vertical configuration saves valuable installation space while providing direct flow path efficiency. The robust construction with corrosion-resistant components ensures long service life in both freshwater and mildly aggressive environments. With customizable discharge heads and bowl assemblies, this mixed flow pump offers B2B clients a versatile and efficient pumping solution for large-scale water management projects.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of a mixed flow pump over other pump types?
A: Mixed flow pumps offer the ideal compromise between high flow rates and moderate head capability, making them perfect for applications requiring large water volumes at lower pressures where pure centrifugal pumps would be inefficient and axial flow pumps would lack sufficient head.
Q: What type of applications is this vertical mixed flow pump best suited for?
A: This pump excels in agricultural irrigation, industrial cooling water systems, raw water intake, flood control, and any application requiring movement of large water volumes at heads typically between 3-20 meters.
Q: Can the pump handle slightly contaminated water or raw water sources?
A: Yes, the pump is designed for raw water applications and can handle water with mild suspended solids. For water with significant abrasive content, we recommend specific material upgrades to extend service life.
Q: What is the typical efficiency range for these mixed flow pumps?
A: These pumps typically achieve efficiency levels between 80-88%, significantly higher than standard centrifugal pumps in similar flow and head ranges, leading to substantial energy savings in large-scale applications.
Q: How does the vertical installation benefit my project?
A: Vertical installation saves substantial space compared to horizontal pumps, reduces excavation costs, and provides natural submergence for the impeller, eliminating priming issues and simplifying the intake structure design.
Q: Are customizable configurations available for specific project requirements?
A: Yes, we offer customization of materials, impeller angles, number of stages, and discharge configurations to ensure optimal performance for your specific flow, head, and water quality conditions.
