The BADU Powerstar from SPECK is specially designed for use in aquaculture and offers significant advantages over traditional centrifugal pumps. While conventional pumps generate high discharge pressures, often unnecessary in aquaculture systems with open suction filters, the BADU Powerstar uses an open impeller optimized for low head and high flow rates.
-
Maximum efficiency at low heads: The pump is optimized for applications requiring only minimal height differences (about 1 meter) between water storage and filter, making it significantly more energy-efficient than standard centrifugal pumps.
-
Gentle water handling: The open impeller reduces stress on the medium and creates a smooth water flow—perfect for sensitive raw water and suction filter systems.
-
Versatile applications: Ideal for water supply in flow channels and aquaculture systems, as well as a reliable raw water pump for open suction filter systems.
-
Proven technology: Suction filter systems with slow filtration speeds deliver excellent results. For these systems, a propeller pump like the BADU Powerstar is the best choice, precisely tailored to these requirements.
-
Dual pump operation: Typically, two pumps are used in practice—a raw water pump (e.g., BADU Powerstar) for water supply and a filtrate pump for water removal. Both should be speed-controlled and matched to the same flow rate, which is easily achieved with the BADU Powerstar.
With its specialized design, the BADU Powerstar is a highly energy-efficient, durable, and reliable solution for modern aquaculture facilities where low head and gentle water treatment are essential.
