3M pumps have permanent magnet-drive system

A Pump Engineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 24, 2009

Pump Engineering is offering 3M's T Mag-M horizontal, sealless peripheral pumps with permanent magnet-drive system and no mechanical seals.

The pumps are particularly suited to applications involving low flows and high heads, and offer the benefits of mag-drive pumping.

The T Mag-M pump is particularly suited to applications involving low flows and high heads

The T Mag-M pump includes: a high-power, synchronous magnetic coupling that can be operated at liquid temperatures up to 350C (without the need for external cooling); a hydraulic design with a self-balancing impeller that improves wear ring life; and a sealing system with flat gaskets that prevents leakage.

The rear shell is made in one single piece without welding and its ellipsoidal profile helps it to withstand higher pressures than traditional designs.

The bearings are available in a choice of materials to suit specific applications, including Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Carbon to enable dry running and filled PTFE when Carbon cannot be used.

The pumps are designed to deliver flows up to 12,000 litres per hour at pressures up to 16bar.

Higher pressures capable of operating on system pressures up to 150bar are also available, along with Atex-certified options.

Applications include: transferring acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, heat-transfer oils, liquid gases, and toxic and explosive chemicals in industrial and chemical industries.

They are also suitable for pumping low-viscosity surfactants, acids and CIP chemicals in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

In the food and drink industries they are suitable for handling CIP chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and pumping water treatment chemicals.
