Lihaspump
Lihaspump is a type of centrifugal pump designed for handling liquids with high viscosity, such as slurries, pastes, and other non-Newtonian fluids. The term "Lihaspump" is a portmanteau of "lihas," the Finnish word for "pulp," and "pump," reflecting its original use in the Finnish paper industry. The pump's unique design features a rotating impeller with a series of curved blades that create a vortex, drawing in and accelerating the liquid. This vortex action helps to break down the structure of the liquid, making it easier to pump. Lihaspumps are known for their ability to handle high-viscosity liquids without clogging or damaging the pump. They are commonly used in various industries, including mining, chemical processing, and food and beverage production. The pump's design allows for easy maintenance and cleaning, making it a reliable choice for applications requiring continuous operation.
