A mag drive centrifugal pump is ideal for harsh chemical applications. Why? Its magnetically-driven design eliminates the need for a seal – so there are no leaks. The magnetic connection between the motor-mounted outer drive magnet and the drive magnet located inside the pump transmits torque from the motor to rotate the impeller, for effective, efficient operation. This sealless connection is key to the pump’s superior design and is part of what makes a mag drive centrifugal pump a go-to solution for a full range of industries. Here’s how it works.
A mag drive centrifugal pump has several innovative design features to optimize its performance.
Powerful neodymium magnets are used to drive the impeller, for leak-free operation with no environmental emissions, no mechanical seal costs, and no seal support systems.
Wetted components are all corrosion-resistant non-metallic materials, to withstand the harshest environments.
Flooded suction pumps are gravity-fed from a liquid source that is above the pump’s centerline, eliminating the need for priming, which can speed up operations. This type of pump is widely used in many applications.
Self-priming pumps are ideal for applications where the liquid source is below the pump’s centerline. Their design lets the pumps retain fluid in their housing, allowing them to create a partial vacuum in the suction line. Atmospheric pressure pushes liquid up the suction line to the pump. Once initially primed, the pump will continue to operate without the need to reprime.
Provides measurement-free drive installation that allows perfect magnet alignment every time, for maximum power performance.
A self-priming design eliminates the need for troublesome internal check valves or external foot valves to maintain prime.
These design features give a mag drive centrifugal pump significant advantages over other pump styles. As you select a pump for your application, consider these 5 Benefits of Using a Mag Drive Pump.
