Hidrostal pumps drive gelatine production, from bones to wastewater.
Hidrostal pumps offer unparalleled performance for critical applications in gelatine production plants. Ideal for bulk material handling, raw material feeding, macerated bone processing and ossein pumping, our pumps are proven in a wide range of applications.
Efficient solids handling
Hidrostal’s superior solids handling capability allows for efficient management of varying solid sizes and concentrations. This feature reduces water usage, shortens process cycles, and enhances production rates for increased profitability.
Robust Screw-Centrifugal Impeller
Equipped with a unique screw-centrifugal impeller, our pumps handle media with large solid content and fibrous materials. This design minimizes downtime caused by blockages, ensuring a reliable and effective pumping process.
Tailored solutions for varied needs
Addressing the challenges of diverse pre-treatment processes in gelatine production, Hidrostal offers customized pump solutions. Our team collaborates with clients to create tailored pumps that adapt seamlessly to specific applications, whether producing type A or B gelatine (acid- or alkali-treated raw material).
Material and impeller types
Hidrostal provides a range of proven material combinations and different impeller types for each gelatine type and step of the process. For “coarse meal” applications, pumps feature also a V-type impeller (closed). For durability in challenging environments, parts in contact with the medium are made of duplex steel.
Unique Screw Centrifugal Impeller for demanding environments
When it comes to pumping gelatine, Hidrostal stands out as the premier choice, offering unparalleled advantages that elevate the efficiency and reliability of your production process. Here’s why Hidrostal is the right product for your gelatine application:
Unique Screw Centrifugal Impeller for proven performance in demanding environments
- Large free ball-passages – Less prone to blockages in raw, unscreened material, reducing plant downtime and enhancing production efficiency.
- Minimal flow deflection – Fewer changes in direction minimize pump blockage risks.
- Delicate handling ability – Maintains the raw material’s size and condition during pumping, preserving its integrity.
- Good hydraulic efficiency – High efficiency saves on energy costs and requires less installed power.
- Capacity to handle high solid contents – Reduces process water and energy consumption, enhancing processing efficiency.
- Various impeller types and material combinations
- Specific choices to meet the requirements for each step of the process (acidic, alkaline, or abrasive media).
- Adjustable impeller clearance without dismantling the pump – Ensures longer wear part lifespan and lower energy consumption.
Customize your Hidrostal pump to your needs!
Customizing your Hidrostal pump to meet specific requirements is crucial for optimizing its performance in various applications.
Material options
→ Standard cast iron for neutral pH-values
→ Stainless steel, or duplex for pumping a medium of acidic or alkaline nature
→ Depending on the pumped fluid, different elastomer materials are possible: NBR, EPDM, FKM, FFKM.
Installation options
→ Horizontally on base plates. This is the standard installation for dry installed pumps.
→ Vertically on the Hidrostal flow optimized suction stand. Choose this option, where place of installation is limited. The suction stand takes care that the fluid enters the pump with an optimal velocity profile.
Drive options
→ A standard IEC-Motor using an additional bearing frame to absorb the occurring forces from the impeller. Customers ́ needs such as special voltage or motor brand can be considered.
→ An immersible Hidrostal motor in case of wet well installation, outside installation or if flooding, e.g. when cleaning the plant, is possible.
→ To save time during maintenance or in the event of a fault, base plates for Hidrostal pumps are also available as easy-dismounting base plates.
Shaft Seal options
→ Double (tandem) mechanical seal with oil filling (also food degradable) or for water flushing.
→ Mechanical cartridge seals
→ Stuffing box
→ Cooling solutions for hot media. Hidrostal provides solutions for cooling parts of the pump to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
→ Hydraulic parts of Hidrostal pumps are free from silicone.
