Radial Vanes: Thickness 3-8 mm, Flow Rate 50-500 m³/h

Component Specifications

Definition

Radial vanes are precision-engineered curved blades arranged radially around the hub of a high-pressure fish pump impeller. They convert rotational mechanical energy from the pump shaft into kinetic and pressure energy in the fluid (typically water containing fish or aquatic products). The vanes are designed with specific curvature (backward-curved, radial, or forward-curved profiles) to optimize efficiency, minimize turbulence, and handle solid-laden flows without damage to delicate biological materials.

Working Principle

Radial vanes operate on centrifugal force principles. As the impeller rotates at high speed, the vanes accelerate fluid outward from the center (eye) to the periphery. The curved shape guides fluid smoothly, converting velocity into pressure while minimizing shear forces that could harm fish. The vane geometry creates pressure differentials that maintain consistent flow rates even with variable solid concentrations.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 316L or 304), duplex stainless steel (2205), or marine-grade aluminum alloys (5052, 6061-T6) with corrosion-resistant coatings. Must be food-safe, non-toxic, and resistant to saltwater corrosion. Surface finish: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm to prevent biofilm accumulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are radial vanes backward-curved in fish pumps?

Backward-curved vanes provide stable pressure-flow characteristics, reduce turbulence, and minimize shear forces that could injure fish during transport.

How do radial vanes handle solid particles in fish pumps?

The smooth curvature and optimized tip clearances allow passage of fish and debris without clogging, while wear-resistant materials prevent erosion damage.

What maintenance do radial vanes require?

Regular inspection for corrosion, biofilm buildup, and wear at vane tips. Cleaning with food-safe solutions and checking balance during service intervals.
