How does a mag drive pump work?

The drive magnet is attached to the shaft operated by the motor. As the motor turns on, it spins the drive magnet which in turn spins the magnet attached to the impeller. The rotation of the impeller produces the power that drives the liquid through the pump.

Where are magnetically coupled pumps used?

Due to their seal-less design meaning they are not prone to leaks, magnetic drive pumps are very popular for the pumping of flammable, toxic and hazardous chemicals, acids and other potentially dangerous fluids that do not contain abrasives.

Can a magnetic drive pump handle solids?

No! The presence of solids can stick to the magnets and interfere with the operation of the pump.

Can a mag drive pump lose its magnetism?

Under extremely high temperatures or excessive torque the magnets may decouple meaning that the pump shaft can slip causing stoppages and inefficiencies.

The Gemmecotti HPP/HPF Series Magnetic Drive Pump is a thermoplastic rotary vane pump that is magnetically coupled constructed in PP or PVDF. This range of mag drive pumps has a high chemical resistance and is typically used as chemical pumps to transfer highly corrosive, toxic, noxious, and carcinogenic liquids. The vane pumps HPP/HPF are ideal for low flow/high head applications such as pilot plants and sampling. Thanks to the innovative design of the Gemmecotti vane magnetic drive pumps, there is no direct connection between the electric motor shaft and the impeller, meaning no mechanical seals are needed that may wear, and the risk of leakage is eliminated.

The sealing of this mag drive pump series is maintained by a magnetic coupling, which removes the need for a mechanical seal and ensures safety by eradicating the risk of any corrosive fluids leaking from the pump. Being magnetically coupled pump, HPP/HPF range also benefit from smooth operation, less noise and wear. The Gemmecotti HPP/HPF magnetic drive pump has a simple structure that requires low maintenance, saving time and money on pump repairs and spare part costs during the pump life.

FAQs

Rather than having a mechanical seal to prevent liquid escaping from between the motor and pump shaft, magnetically coupled pumps use two magnets. The absence of mechanical seals that are prone to wear reduce the chance of leaking and maintenance.
