Key Features

  • Variable Speed Adjustment: The VA series features an integral mechanical variator while the INV series features a pre-wired and calibrated inverter panel for precise speed control
  • Flow Control: VA series is suitable for applications that don’t require exact flow control, while the INV series offers the widest and most accurate flow control range
  • Operational Safety: Speed adjustment is possible only at a standstill with the VA series, while dry-run protection is included in the INV series
  • Configuration: Standard 3-phase configuration for the VA series and single or 3-phase supply options for the INV series
  • Enhanced Performance
  • Additional Features: Optional manual or spring-loaded bypasses, while the INV series can be trolley-mounted with CE Control Panel and remote control included

Additional Information

The VA and INV Series flexible impeller pumps are self-priming positive displacement pumps designed for efficient transfer of a wide range of liquids.

The VA Series uses an integral mechanical variator to provide adjustable flow rates for applications where precise control is not essential, while the INV Series offers highly accurate, infinitely variable speed control via a pre-wired inverter panel.

Supplied with advanced features including remote operation, dry-run protection, and compatibility with additional control accessories, the INV Series is ideal for demanding applications requiring precise flow management.

Power options include 230V single-phase or 230–400V three-phase supplies.

How does a VA & INV flexible impeller pump work?

This pump operates by the rotation of the internal shaft, which causes the flexible impeller to bend against the casing, pushing fluids and solids out of the discharge port.

What is the difference between a Centrifugal and a Flexible Impeller Pump?

A Centrifugal Pump is a Rotodynamic pump that passes energy from the motor to the liquid, which forces the fluid out of the discharge port. The Impeller Pump is a Positive Displacement Pump that traps small amounts of liquid and forces it from the suction to the discharge port.

How does this differ from other Flexible Impeller pumps?

The VA and INV ranges are designed for applications requiring variable speed control. The VA series uses a mechanical variator to change gearbox output speed, suitable where precise flow control is not critical. The INV series uses an inverter panel for infinitely variable motor speed, remote control, dry-run protection, and the widest and most accurate flow adjustment.

What applications are suited to this pump?

The VA & INV ranges are used across industries including food processing, dairy, brewery, distillery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, wastewater treatment, oils, sludges, slurries, paints, and glues.

Are these pumps self-priming?

Yes, they can self-prime up to 6m suction lift from dry.

Can this pump run dry?

No. Running dry can damage the impeller or seal. The INV series includes built-in dry-run protection, but the VA series does not. For VA pumps, protective measures should be considered if dry-running is a risk.

Is this pump suitable for abrasive or hazardous chemicals?

Suitability depends on the chemical and pump construction. With a choice of impeller materials (e.g., EPDM, NBR) and stainless steel pump heads (304 or 316), many fluids can be handled safely. However, for abrasive or hazardous chemicals, compatibility should always be confirmed case by case to ensure safe and reliable operation.
