High-volume slurry transfer with integrated chopping for uninterrupted, trouble-free operation.
The EYS Inline Chopper Pump ICP Series combines a high-performance impeller with an integrated adjustable chopper knife system to simultaneously pump and reduce fibrous matter in slurry, digestate, manure and fish waste. Six models from 5.5 kW to 18.5 kW deliver flow rates from 135 to 270 m³/h across mechanical-seal sealed housings rated to 2 bar. Customisable inlet and outlet flanges and a purpose-built transport chassis make the ICP Series adaptable to any site configuration, integrating directly into new and existing pump line installations.
The EYS Inline Chopper Pump ICP Series is a high-performance centrifugal pump with an integrated chopper knife mechanism, engineered for continuous high-volume transfer of fibrous slurry, digestate, raw manure and fish waste across agricultural, biogas and wastewater treatment applications. Offered in six models from 5.5 kW to 18.5 kW and delivering flow rates from 135 to 270 m³/h, the ICP Series provides a precisely scalable pumping solution for operations ranging from single-barn manure management through to large-scale biogas plant digestate handling and municipal wastewater transfer.
The defining capability of the ICP Series is the combination of pumping and fibre reduction in a single inline unit. As slurry passes through the high-performance housing, the adjustable fixed knives and rotary blade work in opposition to shear and reduce fibrous matter — straw, grass, plant fibre and similar solids — to a consistent, pumpable particle size. This simultaneous chopping and pumping action reduces the resistance of the transferred medium, lowers downstream system blockage frequency and extends the service life of separators, valves and pipe fittings downstream of the pump. Where upstream maceration is not installed, the ICP Series provides an effective integrated alternative within the pump body itself.
The knife system is engineered for straightforward field maintenance. Fixed adjustable knives can be repositioned to restore cutting geometry as wear occurs, without pump removal or specialist tooling. When blades reach the end of their serviceable life, replacement is a rapid field operation. Models in the ICP55 to ICP110 range carry double adjustable knives; the larger ICP150 and ICP185 models carry triple adjustable knives to maintain chopping capacity proportional to their higher flow rates. Depending on the media being transferred — for example, cleaner digestate or process water — the knife mechanism can be removed entirely, operating the unit as a standard high-performance centrifugal pump without any housing modification.
All six ICP models are sealed with a mechanical seal, providing reliable long-term shaft protection against slurry ingress across sustained continuous operation in aggressive media environments. The motor coupling connection is positioned before the motor on all models, allowing motor removal for service or replacement without disturbing the pump body, impeller assembly or connected pipework — a practical design consideration that reduces scheduled maintenance time and cost on working sites. Each unit is supplied on a customised transport chassis that doubles as the installation base, eliminating the requirement for a separate fabricated skid and simplifying site installation significantly.
Inlet and outlet flange dimensions are configurable to project specification, allowing the ICP Series to connect directly into existing pipe infrastructure without requiring adaptor sections, offset connections or pipe diameter changes. This customisation extends to installations where non-standard flange ratings or orientations are required. The EYS Inline Chopper Pump ICP Series integrates directly into ENVIROXX pumping system configurations alongside inline macerators, screw press separators and piston pump installations, serving as the primary high-flow transfer pump in complete slurry management and biogas plant process systems.
