Flexible Impeller Pumps (FIP)
Johnson Pump has a long and broad experience in the design and manufacture of flexible impeller pumps. These pumps have always stood for innovation and quality with strong emphasis on the flexible impeller itself – the main reason for the successful growth of Johnson Pump from the start some 30 years ago. Typical is the latest development – the first flexible impeller in the world produced, tested and certified according to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) milk compound formulation. The formulation comprises all types of foodstuffs.
