Products Details
The most important objective in the development of the Vision pump was to prevent damage to fish stocks when pumping water.
Research has shown that most damage to fish colliding with impeller blades, crushing in narrow gaps or grinding along a rough surface. By using a pump with fewer impeller blades and guide vanes, a larger passage and a lower speed, damage to the fish can be prevented.
New design
We found the solution in the application of a mixed-flow impeller with one blade, combined with a wide volute without guide vanes. The impeller also has a blade with a special spiral shape, whose fish friendly features have been shown in several independent studies.
Research & Development
For the hydraulic design of the Vision, Bosman Watermanagement BV has worked closely with Eindhoven University of Technology. Model tests were done in-house by Bosman Watermanagement BV. The tests have taken place according to international standardized norms. The fish-friendliness is demonstrated by extensive tests. With the Vision a proven fish-friendly concrete volute pump is added to our delivery program.
