Hidrostal was founded in the year 1960, by Martin Stähle. They specialize in the manufacture of a range of high quality pumps featuring the unique Hidrostal Screw Centrifugal Impeller. It possesses many characteristics which are of direct benefit to the numerous industries they serve. It has excellent solids handling capability which makes the pump particularly suitable for handling raw unscreened sewage which is heavily laden with rags and fibrous material. Other solids handled without damage are whole fruits, vegetables and live fish.
The duty requirements for waste water pumps have become more severe in recent years, primarily due to changes in the solids composition. Hidrostal offers the optimum solution for both large and fibrous solids, as well as viscous media. The new Free Flow-Technology added to the screw centrifugal impeller provides a sustainable and innovative solution. This results in both increased operator safety and smooth trouble free operation of the pump installation.
The screw impeller is the perfect design for solids handling applications and the robust features, extended turn from the axial to the radial directions; these features give a combination of characteristics namely; extremely steep and stable Q-H curve, high efficiencies, non-overloading power curve and low NPSH requirements.
For more than 30 years, Hidrostal have been building an enviable reputation for original thinking and innovative pump technology. This experience is built into the company’s range of high quality pumps that is extremely adaptable, they serve numerous applications in a wide range of industries being particularly suitable for solid handling, viscous pumping, delicate handling and low shear pumping.
