SolidsPro Pumps & Mixers

Submersible pumps and mixers for solids-laden fluids across industrial and agricultural applications.

When Solids Need to Keep Moving

SolidsPro is designed for applications where solids affect what happens before and during pumping. Submersible mixers keep solids suspended and tanks circulating – while vortex submersible pumps move solids-laden fluids with less risk of clogging and impeller wear.

 

Tank circulation

Keep Solids in Suspension

Settling reduces tank capacity and process consistency. SolidsPro mixers keep solids circulating before pumping, treatment or storage.

  • Maintain Solids in Suspension: Limits settling and sediment build-up.
  • Uniform Mixing: Maintains a more consistent concentration throughout the vessel.
  • Reduce Dead Zones: Improves circulation where solids may otherwise accumulate.
  • Protect Tank Capacity: Prevents sediment build-up that reduces usable volume.

Move Solids with Less Clogging

SolidsPro vortex submersibles use recessed impellers and large free passage to reduce clogging, wear and maintenance.

  • Large Solids Passage: Helps solids and fibrous material pass with less blockage risk.
  • Recessed Vortex Impeller: Reduces direct contact with the pumped media.
  • Lower Wear: Limits impeller exposure to solids.
  • Less Blockage Maintenance: Fewer obstructions mean less pump intervention

SolidsPro Pump & Mixer FAQs

What are SolidsPro vortex submersible pumps used for?

SolidsPro vortex submersible pumps are used for wastewater, effluent and other waste fluids containing solids, particles or fibrous material. Their recessed vortex impeller makes them particularly useful where clogging and wear are important pump-selection considerations.

How does a vortex pump reduce clogging?

A recessed vortex impeller creates a swirling flow within the pump casing. Much of the solids-laden fluid passes through without direct contact with the impeller – providing a freer flow path for larger solids and fibrous material.

What size solids can SolidsPro pumps handle?

SolidsPro vortex submersible pumps provide solids passage up to 80mm – depending on the pump selected. Consider flow, head, solids characteristics and discharge size when choosing the model.

How do you select the right SolidsPro submersible mixer?

Mixer selection depends on the fluid properties, solids concentration, tank or pond geometry and the level of circulation required. Propeller diameter, speed, thrust and mounting position all influence how effectively solids remain suspended.

When is a vortex submersible pump the better choice?

A vortex submersible pump is worth considering where wastewater, effluent or sludge contains solids or fibrous material that increases blockage risk. The recessed impeller and large free passage reduce direct contact with the pumped media.

When would you use a mixer and a pump together?

Where solids settle before the fluid reaches the pump, mixing and pumping may form two parts of the same process. A submersible mixer keeps solids circulating within the tank or pond – while the vortex pump moves the solids-laden fluid onwards.
