✦ Synopsis
A new r a n g e of P T F E -l i n e d centrifugal p u m p s with magnetic couplings for capacities of up to 60 m / h r and heads of up to 60m has been introduced by Michael Smith Engineers.
The p u m p s are available as close-coupled or long-coupled units, offer excellent resistance to corrosion and can h a n d l e aggressive, toxic and environmentally dangerous liquids.
Magnetic c o u p l i n g e n s u r e s t h a t these gasket-free p u m p s do not leak. A choice of can shell m a t e r i a l s is available to m i n i m i s e h e a t losses a n d to help m a i n t a i n the p u m p s efficiency through possible vortex losses in the magnetic coupling.
Generous internal clearances m a k e sure t h a t liquids circulate with o p t i m u m efficiency inside the shell and the shaft bearings, thereby reducing h e a t build-up. The one-piece p u m p body is constructed in cast iron and the thick-walled F]~FE lining is isostatically p r e s s e d to the body and clamped.
Uses for these p u m p s are wide ranging with a p p l i c a t i o n s w i t h i n t h e g e n e r a l p r o c e s s , chemical, p h a r m a c e u t i c a l and finishing industries.
