A axial-flow pump involves an in-line propeller directly installed in the suction pipe. The propeller is driven by a sealed motor or from outside behind a right-angle angle pipe.
These can be used to process large amount of water, in case of flooding or to catch emerging aquifer during construction work for instance.
