Our ranges / Industrial pumps
The product determines
the transfer
Sauces, dairy products and cosmetics: every product has its own requirements. Our FLEXOPAL® flexible-impeller pumps transfer low-viscosity and viscous liquids without altering them. Designed and made in Bléré.
Product transfer
For every product,
the right pumping approach
The flexible-impeller principle suits a wide variety of products. The liquid determines the model.
| Product type | Examples | What FLEXOPAL® does |
|---|---|---|
| Low-viscosity | Beverages, milk, hygiene products | Steady transfer, self-priming and pumping in both directions |
| Viscous | Honey, sauces, mayonnaise, creams | Flexible vanes move the product gently |
| Sensitive | Yeasts, emulsions, cosmetic products | No agitation or emulsification: the product retains its properties |
Our ranges
A pump
for every liquid
FLEXOPAL® · Close-coupled version
Compact,
ready to use
A stainless-steel flexible-impeller pump in a close-coupled version with several rotation speeds. Self-priming and reversible, it transfers low-viscosity and viscous products without agitation or emulsification.
FLEXOPAL® · Baseplate-mounted version
Adapted
to your production line
The same flexible-impeller technology, baseplate-mounted with the drive suited to your process: gearbox or variable-speed drive. Four sizes, with flow rates up to 40 m³/h and heads up to 40 m.
Materials
The right material
in contact with the product
Our industrial pumps are made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The elastomer impeller is selected for the product and cleaning conditions.

Planning your project
The right pump starts
with the right questions
To choose your pump, we start with three elements: your product, transfer operation and installation. A product data sheet, photograph or existing pump reference is enough to get started.
01 / The product
What you transfer
Viscosity, temperature, pieces of solid material and sensitivity to shear: the product is the starting point.
02 / The operation
Your application
Required flow, pressure, pumping direction and continuous or intermittent operation: the application defines the model.
03 / The installation
Your production line
Close-coupled or baseplate-mounted, gearbox or variable-speed drive, clean-in-place: the pump adapts to your line.
Useful information

Does the pump damage the product?
No. The flexible-impeller principle avoids agitation and emulsification, making it suitable for sensitive products and those that must retain their texture.
Are FLEXOPAL® pumps self-priming?
Yes. They prime themselves and pump in both directions, allowing a pipe to be emptied at the end of production, for example.
Which versions are available?
A close-coupled version with several rotation speeds, and a baseplate-mounted version with the drive suited to your process: gearbox or variable-speed drive.
What materials are the pumps made from?
The casing is stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is easy to clean. The elastomer impeller is selected according to your product and cleaning conditions.
What flow rates and heads are available?
FLEXOPAL® pumps come in four sizes, with flow rates up to 40 m³/h and heads up to 40 m.
What information is needed to choose a pump?
The product and its viscosity, temperature, any pieces of solid material, required flow, discharge head and your line’s cleaning method.
Where are the pumps made?
In Bléré, Indre-et-Loire, where POMPES BODIN has designed and manufactured pumps since 1920.
