Abstract

The present invention relates to a centrifugal pump, the impeller of which comprises a shroud (34) with at least one solid and rigid working vane (36), and at least one solid and rigid rear vane (38), the at least one working vane (36) having a leading edge region (46), a trailing edge region (48), a central region (C), a side edge, a pressure face (42) and a suction face (44), the at least one solid and rigid rear vane (38) having a trailing edge region, a side edge, a pressure face and a suction face. The trailing edge region (48) of the at least one working vane (36) is rounded by means of a rounding to have a thickness greater than that in the central region (C).
