Pump can occasionally handle solids in the liquid but it will drive to
a reduction of pump lifetime, increasing of equipment noise and
absorbed power.
HYDRAULICS WITH CLOSED IMPELLERS :
Maximum fluid viscosity is 300 cSt (mm²/s), or 40°E.
Free passage depends on pump size :

HYDRAULICS WITH SEMI-OPEN IMPELLERS :
Maximum fluid viscosity is 500 cSt (mm² ).
It is possible to pump fluids containing particles when pump is run at
1450 RPM with the following restrictions :
-
Solid size smaller than 1 mm : 10% maxi in volume
-
Light particles with smaller size than 1 mm : 35% maxi of the
volume without any change in fluid specific gravity.
Free passage depends on the pump size :
