Application
Construction
Hidrostal F-type pumps are ideal for gentle handling applications. The
pumps use a single wrapped spiral vane impeller that extends axially
for a smoother transition.
Pumping solutions high quality for more
than 60 years
Hidrostal pumps are used in a wide variety of sectors thanks to their excellent liquid and material removal characteristics,
with a low level of pulsation.

Their qualities and strengths set them apart from others and they are in demand for very specific tasks:

The hydraulic system design reliably and efficiently solves pumping problems in all areas of application.

With Free Flow Technology (FFT) and our uncloggable impeller it makes the pump unique for solids handling
and management.

Thanks to the centrifugal screw impeller the flow rate is gently pumped.

Together with the new TUMA motors, it forms a unique product of high robustness and reliability with high
efficiency.

In Prerotation Hidrostal system, the vessel provides extraordinary favourable characteristics:

Energy efficiency due to the fact that there is no need to start and stop the pumping system thanks to flow
lamination.

Reduced installation cost due to the use of a prefabricated fibreglass vessel.

Total cleaning and emptying of the well results in less environmental impact.
Drainage
The Hidrostal pump, thanks to its centrifugal screw impeller, is a leader in numerous drainage pumping applications both
outdoors and indoors. From the famous canals of Netherlands to the artificial waterfalls of amusement parks (EDEN
Project), Hidrostal pumps fluids with all types of submerged or floating solids, including its prestigious reputation for
pumping live fish.

Over the years, we have managed to renew our catalogue, being able to offer both fixed and mobile installations. We are
currently investing in a new line of renting with the possibility of purchase.

Canal drainage

Wherever the control of water level in canals is a necessity, as is

the case in Netherlands, Hidrostal makes its presence felt.

Uncontrolled rainfall, sludge handling and gentle pumping of

existing fauna makes Hidrostal the ideal pump for your needs.

Canal drainage in Netherlands

River diversions and well drainage

In civil engineering, robust and reliable pump solutions are required for the major challenges that often arise with the
drainage of construction projects. Whether, for example, for a diversion solution in a canal or for the drainage of wells and
ditches. The Hidrostal centrifugal screw pump can therefore easily solve such usually very demanding tasks. No matter
whether the water is relatively clean, dirty, sludgy or contains crushed stones.

River transfers with live fish

Whether the water is fresh or salt water, Hidrostal has a variety of casting and construction materials that adapt to the
characteristics of the fluid. We have pumps for different types of constructions, from the transfer of a river to the cooling
of a nuclear power plant, where special high-flow pumps are needed that are kind to the prevailing fauna.
Portable drains, for pipelines and temporary constructions

In the construction sector, it is very common to use an independent pumping system to drain construction pits, to help
control the water table, etc. This is where the Superbetsy system coexists with the construction sites to provide a
temporary service for the needs of the civil world. Being aware of the fluid to be pumped (air, solids and dirt), the
Suberbetsy equipment has a very demanding priming and control system, aligned to the needs of today's world.

Whether purchased or leased, you can use a mobile pumping system with all the security and control of a state-of-the-art
system.
Fish control
In an ever-growing world with millions of aquatic species migrating along rivers and seas, we need to know and build
environmentally sustainable systems without architectural barriers to maintain endangered fauna. This is the case of eels,
which travel up to 8000 km to lay their eggs.

Thanks to the shape of its impeller, the Hidrostal pump

is used in large installations that need to keep aquatic
fauna alive.

Pumping in tunnel boring

Especially in demanding applications in the construction industry, where reliable pumps are required for pumping water
with a high stone and sand content, the Hidrostal centrifugal screw pump has proven to be extremely good.
Mining Pumping
In disused coal mine quarries, it is very common to
find pits where it is necessary to pump the
retained water. It is in these cases, where Hidrostal
is able to pump, with great efficiency, groundwater
with sedimentation.

Mud, sludge, bentonite, viscous liquids, even with

a very high solids content, can be pumped very
well with the Hidrostal centrifugal screw pump.

Flood control
Reliable pump operation is of utmost importance for preventive flood protection or in cases of emergency. The Hidrostal
centrifugal screw pump offers excellent options for solutions to an almost unlimited number of different challenges in this
field.

You can use a Hidrostal pump both in a fixed installation (storm tank) and in a mobile installation (Superbetsy for garages
or areas susceptible to flooding, very often for fire stations).
Pumping at tourist attractions
It is in innovative projects, where large constructions count on us.

Thanks to the characteristics of the uncloggable impeller, the Hidrostal pump works very well in places with a lot
of vegetation, with waterfalls, where there are leaves and solids in suspension.
SuperBetsy - Independent pumping
system
Your application: our pumping system

The SuperBetsy mobile pumping system is developed to work under the most difficult and demanding operating
conditions. Regardless of whether it is a construction project, industrial application, flood protection, mining or
drainage, the centrifugal screw impeller with a free ball passage of 75 mm to 120 mm guarantees trouble-free and clog-
free operation.

The pump is capable of pumping liquids with a high proportion of solids, media containing fibres or viscous media. The
special construction of the helical screw centrifugal impeller ensures particularly gentle and energy-efficient pumping.

The robust construction of the SuperBetsy allows it to operate in a wide variety of applications and environments.

Its soundproofing ensures extremely quiet operation and allows it to be used in residential areas with the highest noise
protection requirements.

An innovative canopy design with double doors and hinged roof panel also ensures easy and unrestricted access for all
operational and maintenance activities.

Our entire range is powered by highly efficient and fuel-efficient engines. By using the latest diesel engine technology,
Hidrostal ensures that all machines in the SuperBetsy range comply with global emissions regulations. In addition, the
SuperBetsy has long run times without refuelling due to its large capacity, corrosion-proof fuel tanks.

The new BetsyPrime vacuum priming system, in combination with a rotary vane vacuum pump, ensures fast and reliable
priming of the pump unit, even at very high suction heads.

reliable - efficient - low maintenance

Equipped with intelligent control, the BetsyPrime system only works when it is needed. A combination of electronic and
mechanical sensors inside the vacuum chamber monitors the priming level in the system and only activates the vacuum
pump when necessary. When it is 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 increases service life,
reduces maintenance costs and saves energy.

The SuperBetsy is available in a variety of sizes with delivery rates from 100 to 1100 m³/h.

With monitoring and control options and GPS location.

Choose your best option
For all these applications, Hidrostal offers you 3 types of products to adapt them to your needs.

1. Hidrostal Pump. Pumping of solids without clogging

Thanks to its design, the Hidrostal impeller is unclogged and has a higher solids flow
than the competition. With the centrifugal worm screw Hidrostal pumps, you will
have the solution to all your problems. A robust, efficient and low-maintenance
pump.

2. Prerostal. Clean, odor-free well

If we add the pre-rotation system to the Hidrostal pump, you will have a self-cleaning
pumping system, without sedimentation, without odors and with very little
maintenance. In addition, you can adapt to the inlet flow automatically without
needing a drive.

3. Preroclean. The complet “AD-HOC” solution

The Hidrostal PreroClean system is a compact variant of Prerostal system wich we can
attach to the sump with very little civil work. We also offer the possibility of a
complete prefabricated well that is easy to install.

In either case, you will obtain a self-cleaning well, without clogging, ecological, and
very easy to install.
1. Solids pumping without clogging
The heart of Hidrostal pump is its impeller

The peculiarity of Hidrostal pump lies in its open channel

impeller. It combines the delicate action of a helical screw
and the efficient behavior (Flow-Height-Efficiency) of a
centrifugal pump.
The result is the ease of pumping waste and any type of
dispersed solids without choking or clogging.
In addition, its design minimizes the emulsion of immiscible
liquids, favoring their collescence. Hidrostal has the largest
ball passage on the market.

Helical section

This part of the impeller generates a positive displacement Drive flange

action, working like an "Archimedes" type screw, with clean
liquids or with slurries and pulps. This section acts as a small
Volute
pump supplying pressure to the liquid being pumped, before it
enters the centrifugal part. As a result, excellent suction Helical srew impeller
capacity is obtained with a low NPSH required.

Centrifugal section Suction flange

AXIS

This part of the impeller converts the rest of the available

energy into pressure energy. The result of the positive
displacement action and the centrifugal action give Hidrostal Suction cone
unique characteristics in pumping liquids with suspended solids,
viscous liquids and applications that demand low value of NPSH.
The wide range that covers the performance of Centrifugal- Helical Centrifugal
Helical pumps is obtained by varying the impeller, volute, taper section section
and the ratio between the helical and centrifugal sections of the
impeller.

2. PREROSTAL System
The PREROSTAL system mainly consists of a Hydrostal pump, a suction hood, a
container with vessel form with an inlet channel and a very precise level control.

The suction bell reduces the distance to the bottom of the vessel to take
advantage of the maximum unevenness, redirects the fluid and increases its
velocity at the impeller inlet.

The vessel, for its part, needs a personalized study for each client. It has a small
retaining wall and an inclined entrance channel. The channel redirects the fluid
towards the suction of the pump and thus provides the necessary speed to
induce Pre-rotation.

With an adequate design of its components and precise level control,

Prerotation automatically adjusts the discharge flow as the inlet flow decreases,
always maintaining the same motor speed.
The current problems of pumping stations
In conventional stations, due to the large variation in the inlet flow, the pumps start and stop with large differences in
height, generating regulation problems and start-up peaks. In addition, by maintaining a minimum level of submergence,
the well does not empty completely, accumulating dirt and suspended elements, which leads to problems of odours,
clogging, costly maintenance and the danger of overflows in the event of flooding.

What does Prerotation consist of?

Prerotation is the principle by which a velocity is induced in the fluid just before it is pumped. This Prerotation, which in
many types of pumps is undesirable and harmful, provides a great advantage with our type of impeller, as it takes
advantage of this speed to drag solids in suspension.

It is the perfect answer to pumping liquids with a high solids content and problematic pumping with a lot of floating
debris, rainwater in collectors and sediment dragging. This principle is the fundamental basis of the PREROSTAL system.

Why is PREROSTAL the optimal solution?

The PREROSTAL system manages not only to regulate the pumping flow, but also to lower the level of the well to a
minimum, managing all types of waste, avoiding the proliferation of bacteria. And the generation of noxious gases and
bad smells. Thanks to a meticulous design, the PREROSTAL system manages to increase the speed of the fluid in the pump
suction, maintaining a high laminar regime, which drags all the particles in suspension.

The PREROSTAL system is currently the most economical short and long term method of adjusting and regulating the
volume of a modern pumping station with variable inlet flow rates.

HIDROSTAL System Conventional System

 Prerotation sequences
1
When the water level reaches the start level, the pump sets in
motion and starts drawing liquid from the well. At this point
there is minimum pre-rotation, it behaves like the theoretical
curve of the pump. If the inlet flow matches exactly the pump
capacity, liquid level in the well does not change.

2
On the other hand, if the inlet Flow to the well is less than
pump capacity, the liquid level drops. When the liquid level
falls below the containment wall of Prerotation vessel, the
liquid begins to flow through the tangential inlet channel.

This elevation difference generates the kinetic energy necessary to drive the Prerotation, by means of a studied change in
the angle of incidence in the impeller. When speed increases in Prerotation vessel, flow capacity decreases respect to the
original condition.

3
Once the Prerotation has started, the control with sensors helps to clean and control the well, managing the stop and
recharge of the well, to return to the initial position.

Installation types of Prerotation
Prerotation with immersible motor Prerotation with extended axis.
Wet well Dry well

The submersible wet well station provides variable
flow with either a constant speed or 2 speed motor. It
consists of a submersible pump, a plinth and a skid
plate that provides a quick and easy lifting device. This
arrangement provides the easiest, most economical,
compact, and lowest maintenance pump station.
The dry well extended shaft station has the following
advantages: the motor can’t be flooded, special casing
is not required, and the pump can be easily serviced.
This construction is best suited for large pumps.

Prerotation in dry chamber.

Other facilities.

The dry chamber station offers a variable flow, with a free shaft pump with bearing box and a commercial motor. We can
arrange the pump both horizontally and vertically with an anchor plate.
Advantages of the Hidrostal pump
compared to the endless screw
The Prerostal compact system is a great alternative to the conventional Archimedean screw, used at the head of
purification stations.

The Prerostal system represents a much lower cost in civil works (up to 40%), since it requires less space, a simple
installation design and highly adaptable to the environment thanks to its ability to vary flow rates and heights.
In addition, it avoids expensive maintenance expenses, such as the Archimedean screw bearing box and the bad smells
generated by H₂S.

Endless Screw HIDROSTAL System

Strengths of Prerotation

● Without jams
● Cost reduction and easy maintenance
● Smells elimination
● Less storage volumr required in sump
3. PreroClean
Hidrostal PreroClean system is used frequently to make sumps self-cleaning. It is a simplified and standardized version of
the Prerostal system.

Using Prerotation, dissolved or suspended solids are pumped. This cleaning process is carried out once per pump cycle. By
this process, the pump sump is kept free of floating solids and debris.
We also offer the possibility of a complete prefabricated well with easy installation.

Our pumps have a series of qualities and strengths that make them stand out from the rest and be in demand for very
specific tasks, which we can discover:

Our centrifugal helical screw impeller is what defines us and makes us unique for having an UNCLOGGABLE
impeller.

Due to its design, it gently pumps the flow, making it possible to move fruits, vegetables, frozen foods, jellies, live
fish or even hard-boiled eggs without damaging them.

Along with one of our patents: Free Flow Technology (FFT), Hidrostal is forged as the best pump on market for solid
handling and management. Residues, scraps, shavings, wipes, stones, fibers; any solid can be pumped.

Another key is the PRE-ROTATION that allows to leave the well clean, saving the arduous and dangerous manual
work in it.

With Prerotation we also laminate the flow, reducing the number of starts and stops in the pumping system,
achieving energy efficiency.

It is remarkable the oils pumping. The Hidrostal pump prevents the emulsion of hydrocarbons in a laboratory-tested
way and helps their subsequent coalescence.

As a result of all these qualities, we prevent the bacteria proliferation in the well and therefore a lower
environmental impact.

In addition, our motors are self-manufactured, which gives us safety and reliability, in constant development and
adaptation to European requirements, with ATEX or FM certification to work in explosive environments or special
conditions.
