Semi-Open Impeller

Product Function & Working Principle

A Semi-Open Impeller is a key hydraulic component used in centrifugal pumps to transfer mechanical energy into fluid energy.

It features partially exposed vanes, allowing the fluid to pass through the impeller with reduced blockage while maintaining stable pressure generation.

Compared with closed impellers, this structure improves tolerance to suspended solids and viscous media. Compared with open impellers, it provides better hydraulic efficiency and structural stability. As a result, it is widely used in applications where both flow reliability and efficiency are required.
