Magnetic Drive Process Pump offers safety features

A Richter Chemie-Technik product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 25, 2001

ITT Industries has developed a new ISO Magnetic Drive Process Pump, suitable for the majority of pumping applications including corrosive, polluted, pure, toxic and other critical liquids

ITT Industries has developed a new ISO Magnetic Drive Process Pump.

The pump has been developped in cooperation between ITT Richter Chemie-Technik (Germany), Vogel Pumpen (Austria) and Goulds Pumps (USA).

Major focus will be the CPI and similar processes.

However, numerous applications are given within general industry, petrochemical plants, water and food processing, metallurgy and environmental protection, too.

The ICM has been designed for flows up to 340 m3/h and delivery heads up to 160 m LC at 2900 rpm (400 m3/h and 210 m LC at 3500 rpm).

Standard operating pressures are up to 16 bar with option for 25 bar.

Operating temperatures range from -40 to180C, optionally even to 280C.

The pump will be suitable to cover the majority of pumping applications in the process technology, including corrosive, polluted, pure, toxic and other critical liquids.

This is thanks to its sealless sturdy design as well to its choice of wetted materials.

Stainless steel, Hastelloy, ductile iron, Alloy 20 and titanium can be chosen from.

The ICM series completes the range of ITT process pumps, so that the plant operator now can choose magnetic driven and mechanically sealed pumps of metal as well as of plastic lined design, both to ISO and to ASME/ANSI.

Modern technologies such as the FEM Finite Element Method and CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics have been utilized during product development.

Some ICM features: Cartridge-type plain bearing with engineered lubrication.

The bearings are of chemical and abrasion resistant SSiC.

The proven Safeglide Plus dry run protection can be provided optionally.

Plant operators will enjoy the inbuilt "worst case provisions": in case of bearing failure the wetted rotor cannot come in contact with the separating can nor will larger SSiC parts get out of the cartridge.

That means that the separating can - being the most important sealing towards the atmosphere - remains on the safe side.

The cartridge is very easy to mount, which is important in case of pump maintenance.

Seamless deep-drawn Hastelloy separating can.

There are no welding joints subjected to the pumpage: The can is of homogenous material, the wetted surface is smooth.

This is benefial to an equal corrosion resistance.

A moulded-in bead prevents from medium whirls in the rear can, which in case of solid contents could erode the can.

Altough the operating pressure of the can is limited to 25 bar, it is tested to withstand a burst pressure >150 bar.

Further contributions to operational safety and to economy are - Integrated connection provisions for a variety of pump monitoring.

- Optional Hydrovar and PumpSmart flow control equipment.

- Inducer technology to overcome insufficient NPSHa conditions.

- External plain bearing flushing for specific applications, e.g with solid containing or crystallizing media.

- Pump is designed for easiest maintenance: few subassemblies, no need of special tools, no need of alignments.
