Sealless Magnetic Drive Pumps for Industrial Applications
Chemical transfers. Precision temperature controls. Cleaning solutions. Industrial settings involve myriad operations that require the safe handling of harsh, toxic or corrosive fluids. Not every piece of equipment is up to these tasks. Robust solutions are necessary to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency. To meet these demands, Finish Thompson offers a complete line of sealless magnetic drive pumps and drum and barrel pumps that are designed to withstand the harshest environments.
Typical Pump Applications
- Provide flow and pressure to chillers and heat exchangers
- Recirculate cleaning solutions to clean metal before painting, powder coating or plating
- Secondary containment in chemical sump applications
- Transfer chemicals and rinse waters from sumps
- Transfer fluids from drums and IBCs (totes)
- Transfer from bulk storage to process
- Unloading of rail cars and tanker trucks
Which Series are Applicable?
Pump Details
DB Series, SP Series
Magnetically coupled, sealless centrifugal pumps. While NOT manufactured from FDA compliant materials, Finish Thompson DB Series and SP Series pumps are designed from the ground up to pump corrosive chemicals.
Features
- No mechanical seal – Powerful rare earth magnetic drive system eliminates the troublesome mechanical seal.
- Corrosion resistant – Engineered for the most aggressive liquids, manufactured from polypropylene or PVDF.
- Run dry ability – Makes them less prone to operator error or system upset.
- Self-priming option – SP Series pumps can lift fluid from as deep as 25 feet (7.6 meters) below the pump or can pull liquid out of the top of a tank eliminating through-the-sidewall bulkhead fittings.
MSDB Series
Features
- Multi-stage design – to produce much higher heads at lower flow rates than similarly sized single-stage pumps.
- Performance – Heads up to 300 feet (91.5 meters) are possible, with a minimum flow rate of one gpm (0.23 m3/hr) and a maximum flow rate of 69 gpm (15.7 m3/hr).
- No mechanical seal – Powerful rare earth magnetic drive system eliminates the troublesome mechanical seal.
UC Series
Engineered for extreme reliability in the most extreme chemical processing applications, Finish Thompson’s ULTRAChem® pumps are magnetically driven, ANSI dimensional pumps. They are constructed from tough ductile iron with ETFE lining for superior corrosion resistance.
Features
- Sealless design – Powerful neodymium magnets drive the impeller through a carbon-filled ETFE lined barrier for dependable, leak-free operation.
- Fully supported shaft and self-aligning dual bushings – designed for optimum alignment to prevent premature wear.
- Complete encapsulation of inner drive magnets in ETFE – for ultimate corrosion protection.
Drum Pumps
Finish Thompson drum pumps are extremely versatile and are not just for use in in drums. A wide range of tube lengths allow them to be used in drums, barrels, totes, IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) and other container sizes.
Features
- PP, PVDF or 316SS tubes – Select based on your application
- Built-in hose and cord clips – Specific models
- ODP (open drip proof), TEFC and air motor drive options – lithium ion battery powered motor on select models
- High performance sealless pump
- Unique double suction impeller provides high flow rates and high discharge pressure
- Viscosity up to 2,000 cP
- Acids, bases, plating solutions, water treatment chemicals, cleaners
- An ideal replacement for hand pumps
- Integral strainer (EFP/EFV only)
- Built-in hose, cord clips (EFP/EFV only)
- Light acids and bases, plating solutions, sodium hypochlorite, cleaners, coolants
