Posted on by Sara Springer

She means business… Wherever you need to pump liquid, the Super Betsy Mobile Pumping System by Hidrostal® is ready to move in and get to work.  

She’s a beast. Hidrostal® designed the Super Betsy to meet the demands of extreme industrial applications, specifically suited for use in challenging operational environments. Ideal applications include construction projects, flood protection, mining, and drainage systems.  

Super Betsy has rugged and intelligent construction. The housing’s canopy doors and roof provide easy access to all sides of the pumping system while also providing a quiet operation thanks to excellent soundproofing.  

She also is low maintenance because Super Betsy does not clog easily. Featuring a clog-free screw centrifugal impeller with a free ball passage of 75mm-120mm, Super Betsy makes easy work of liquids containing high volumes of solids or fibrous particles.  

Additional features of the Super Betsy Mobile Pumping Station by Hidrostal®: 

  • Uses the latest diesel engine technology (meet the global emissions regulations) 
  • Low fuel consumption 
  • Large capacity corrosion-proof tanks for extended operational times 
  • Includes the new Betsy Prime vacuum priming system, in connection with a rotary vane vacuum pump, ensuring fast, reliable priming of the pump set, even at very high suction lifts. 
  • Features intelligent control only to operate when needed. 
  • Designed with electronic and mechanical sensors within the vacuum chamber
  • monitor the prime level in the system and only activate the vacuum pump when required. When not needed, the Intelligent Control turns off the vacuum pump and seals the vacuum line, protecting the vacuum pump from contamination by carry-over of the pumped medium. 
  • This ability increases the service life, reduces maintenance costs, and saves energy. 
  • Available in a range of sizes with delivery rates from 100 to 1100 m³/h, 
  • monitoring, and control and GPS location options.

PREROSTAL AND PREROCLEAN PREROTATION SYSTEM by Hidrostal

Posted on by Sara Springer

The PREROSTAL® and PreroClean™ Prerotation system is a unique, economical, uncomplicated method of automatically adjusting pumping volume to varying inflow rates using a constant speed motor and pump. It combines the screw centrifugal impeller characteristics of a Hidrostal pump with a specially configured vortex-inducing chamber around the suction pipe of the pump. The chamber utilizes gravity to impart a fluid spin in the same direction of rotation as the pump impeller, and this spin produces a flow reduction without the necessity of changing pump speed.  This method of matching pump outflow to pump station inflow eliminates the need for any electrical equipment such as inverter drives. 

In addition, the PREROSTAL system is a highly effective sump cleaning system that does not require any additional mechanical or electrical apparatus such as additional controls of mixers or aerators.  It is the ideal solution for handling variable flow applications with large or troublesome solids. 

The PreroClean™ Self Cleaning Sump is a simplified version of the PREROSTAL and is designed for applications where the primary aim is maintaining clean sumps without the need for flow matching. This option works on the same principles as the PREROSTAL but the weir height and tangential channel dimensions are fixed for each pump size allowing these features and the basin to be molded into a single piece, simplifying the civil construction 

 The PREROSTAL system is proven and cost-effective to the Archimedean screw pump system.  We have successfully replaced numerous installations around the world!

A Pump for the Fishes-Thanks Hidrostal!

Posted on by Sara Springer

Water, our most valuable resource, has been globally pumped through our homes and our ecosystems for decades.  Now more than ever, society has prioritized the health of our planet, its water, and the creatures in it.  Recognizing this environmental need, Hidrostal has developed a solution to pump natural bodies of H2O while ensuring the survival of the life passing through their products.

A man ahead of his time, Martin Stahle patented his unique eco-friendly pump in 1960.  Today, Martin’s company Hidrostal® provides pumping stations designed to responsibly pump any aquatic life that passes through their pump chambers.  This eel and fish-friendly solution applies to river abstraction for water supply and irrigation, the cooling of power plants, extraction of water for large industrial complexes and drainage pump stations for flood plains, Hydro dams, etc.

Specifically, there are two pump lines featured in Hidrostal’s product lines that users should focus on when considering a fish-friendly pump.

The F-Type Pump line can process high volumes of fish flowing through a pump system, up to 30% fish-to-water ratio.  That’s a lot of fish!  These pumps are ideal for farming applications.

Are you pumping a large quantity of water? Then consider installing a V-Type Pump by Hidrostal®. Although these pumps can’t handle the volume of aquatic life that the F-Type offers, they can move serious amounts of liquid while preserving life inland drainage and flood prevention applications.

A third party tested and approved Hidrostal’s Eel and Fish Friendly pumps.  In the end, Hidrostal® was able to achieve a survival rate near 100% of all life that passed through its equipment.
