ChopX Series Chopper Pumps perform the dual function of cutting and pumping, making them ideally suited for applications requiring reduction of solids size and/or protection of downstream equipment.
Hayward Gordon’s ChopX Chopper Pumps design is an open-type impeller with sharpened leading and vane edges. The primary chopping and conditioning action of solids within the fluid is provided by the impeller’s leading edges rotating in tight clearance across the cutter bar at the pump suction. A secondary cutting and expulsion action takes place behind the impeller with the impeller’s sharpened vane edges, which rotate across spiral grooves on the backplate. This secondary cutting action both cuts and expels solids from behind the impeller.
