Is Your Mag Drive Centrifugal Pump Falling Short?

Are You Tired of Your Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pump Failing You?

Magnetic drive centrifugal pumps have numerous benefits that operators require – leak-free operation, dry baseplates, and no need for seal replacement. However, these seal-less centrifugal pumps do have some limitations. In fact, every magnetic drive centrifugal pump falls short in the following four areas:

Dry Run

Dry-run operation for centrifugal pumps can result in one of three catastrophic outcomes:

  • Bearing Failure
  • Magnet Coupling Failure
  • Containment Failure

Inflexible Operating Range

While systems operate across a wide range of operating points, centrifugal pumps are designed to work at a single specified design point or Best Efficiency Point (BEP). This disparity can be devastating to some centrifugal pump technologies.

Solids Handling

Centrifugal pumps with high internal flow velocities violently move particles through the pump casing, damaging the internal components.

Entrained Vapor & Poor Inlet Conditions

Centrifugal pumps fail when operating under sustained cavitation, certain liquid/vapor mixtures, and poor NPSH applications.

A better seal-less pump solution for your facility is MAGNES, the sliding vane magnetic drive pump. MAGNES combines positive displacement pump technology along with magnetic drive functionality to provides operators with:

  • Indefinite Dry Run
  • Solids Handling
  • Full Curve & System Performance
  • Cavitation & Vapor Mixture Handling
