Hopper Pump

Our Hopper Pump, part of our Progressive Cavity Pump range, is the ideal solution for processing highly viscous, solid-laden fluids across industrial and food-grade applications. With a food-safe design, this pump ensures optimal hygiene and efficiency. Available with multiple configuration options, including ATEX-rated models for hazardous environments, the Hopper Pump delivers exceptional versatility and performance. Some of the liquid handling capabilities of these variants includes:

  • DH/DHE model: suitable for up to 18% solids concentration without bridging
  • DHB/DHP model: for even higher solids concentration of 35%
  • DHS model: for highly viscous materials up to 28% solids
  • DHSB & DHS-T model: for non-flowing materials with solids up to 40%

Typical applications for our Hopper Pump:

  • Food & Beverage Processing
  • Industrial Processes
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Agriculture
  • Petrochemical
  • Maritime
  • Papermaking

Overview

Our Hopper Pump Series is designed for superior adaptability and efficiency. With capacities up to 315m³/hr and discharge pressures reaching 480m, this range supports various applications. Its modular construction allows for easy customisation and upgrades, ensuring long-term operational flexibility.

The pump series features multiple construction variants, each optimised for specific material handling requirements. The following variations provide tailored solutions:

Standard Hopper Pump (DH/DHE Series):

  • Rectangular hopper with an auger feed, suitable for up to 18% solids concentration

Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump (DHB/DHP Series):

  • Wide throat hopper with a double bridge breaker, handling up to 35% solids

Industrial Hopper Pump (DHS Series):

  • Oversized auger, accommodating highly viscous materials up to 28% solids

Industrial Heavy-Duty Hopper Pump (DHSB/DHS-T Series):

  • Special wheel-assisted feeding system for non-flowing materials with up to 40% solids
Features & Benefits
  • Patented Pin-Type Joint: Ensures reliability, easy maintenance, and resistance to high pressure (up to 12 Bar in the pump casing)
  • Customisable Hopper Length: Adaptable rectangular hoppers to suit specific application needs
  • Seal Systems: Multiple options, including packing seals, single/double mechanical seals, and API 682-compatible versions
  • Food-Grade Certification: Available upon request for Oenological, Food, and Beverage applications
  • Material Options: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel (AISI 304/316), Duplex, and Super Duplex
  • Self-Priming Capability: Up to 7m, ensuring efficient fluid transfer
  • Low Pulsating Flow: Axial design minimises stress and turbulence
  • ATEX-Rated Models: Safe operation in explosive environments
