Question 1

What is a mag drive pump?

Accepted Answer

A mag drive pump is a sealless pump that uses magnetic coupling to transfer power from the motor to the pump, eliminating the need for traditional mechanical seals.

Question 2

How do magnetic drive centrifugal pumps work?

Accepted Answer

They use a magnetic coupling system where the motor drives an inner magnet, which in turn drives the pump impeller, providing a leak-free operation.

Question 3

What are the advantages of using magnetic drive pumps?

Accepted Answer

Advantages include reduced leakage, minimal maintenance, improved safety for handling hazardous chemicals, and lower operational costs.

Question 4

Where are MTA series mag drive pumps commonly used?

Accepted Answer

These pumps are commonly used in chemical processing, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial applications that require high efficiency and reliability.

Question 5

Can mag drive pumps handle corrosive fluids?

Accepted Answer

Yes, magnetic drive centrifugal pumps are ideal for handling corrosive or hazardous fluids due to their sealless design.

Question 6

What flow rates can mag drive pumps achieve?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the model, mag drive pumps can achieve flows from as low as 53 gallons per minute to over 200 gallons per minute.

Question 7

Are mag drive centrifugal pumps energy-efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these pumps, especially models like the MTA series, are designed for high efficiency with minimal energy loss.

Question 8

How do I select the right magnetic drive pump for my application?

Accepted Answer

Consider factors like fluid type, flow rate, head, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Our team at Vissers Sales Corp. can help guide your selection.

Question 9

Do magnetic drive pumps require special maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is minimal compared to traditional pumps, primarily focusing on routine inspections and ensuring the magnetic coupling remains aligned.

Question 10
