Pumps avoid hazardous leaks
The magnetic drive pump concept removes the need for traditional mechanical seals, which suffer from wear due to heavy contact of the mating seal faces.

Pumps handle ferric chloride safely
Magnetic drive pumps lend themselves to handling ferric chloride, which can easily contaminate the surrounding area with the slightest leak.
Ferric chloride is heated and maintained at 50C and sprayed at pressures of 2.5bar against materials such as stainless steel, brass, aluminium and steel to chemically 'etch' the surfaces.
This process lends itself to producing items such as microchip bases, printed circuit board manufacture, stencils, nameplates and other intricate parts.
CDR magnetic drive pumps lend themselves to handling this aggressive liquid, which can easily contaminate the surrounding area with the slightest leak.
The magnetic drive pump concept removes the need for traditional mechanical seals, which suffer from wear due to heavy contact of the mating seal faces.
The magnetic drive coupling ensures that these seals are removed, which means a totally-sealed pump unit is in operation and the only opportunity for leakage is in the case of catastrophic failure.
To protect against this, the company recommends installing a digital load monitor, which trips the motor if adverse operating conditions occur.
