Safer pumping with leak-free mag-drive
pumps
Transferring aggressive fluids, such as acids, and toxic or explosive chemicals, calls for a pump which can guarantee a secure, leak-free and reliable performance
Transferring aggressive fluids, such as acids, and toxic or explosive chemicals calls for a pump which can guarantee a secure, leak-free and reliable performance 3M Magnetic drive centrifugal pumps meet these tough requirements thanks to features such as a seal-less design which eliminates the main risk of potential for leakage, which is always mechanical seal failure

Portable gear pump for viscous fluids
The GVR range of self-priming, external gear pumps is ideal for transferring viscous fluids such as lubricating and hydraulic oils which require a robust, reliable, yet competitively priced pump
Pump system for pastes and high viscosity products
Transferring very high viscosity creams, gels and pastes which do not flow used to present a major problem for companies in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and process industries
Available from liquids handling specialists Pump Engineering, 3M pumps cover flow rates 0.5 -1000m3/hr at heads up to 1300metres, at temperatures ranging from 150C to +450C.
The pumps are available in stainless steel, Hastelloy C, Incoloy, Titanium, PP and PVDF.
API versions are also available and many of the pumps and spares are directly interchangeable with Caster pumps at very competitive prices.
The choice of different pump types ensures optimum application flexibility.
For example, centrifugal with closed impeller for liquids transfer and circulation providing flows up to 1000m3/hr, heads up to 1300metres, peripheral regenerative turbine for smooth, pulsation-free medium flows up to 10m3/hr, heads up to 1000metres and sliding vane pumps for pulsation-free dosing and injection applications providing flows up to 3000lit/hr and pressures up to 13bar.
As a result of their design and materials of construction, 3M mag-drive pumps have numerous applications.
For example, transferring acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, heat transfer oils, liquid gases, toxic and explosive chemicals in industrial and chemical industries and pumping low viscosity surfactants, acids and CIP chemicals in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
In the food and drink industries they are ideal for handling CIP chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and pumping water treatment chemicals.
API versions are also available.
