Magnetic drive centrifugal pumps
3M Magnetic drive centrifugal pumps are suitable for transferring aggressive fluids, such as acids, toxic and explosive chemicals.
Transferring aggressive fluids, such as acids, toxic and 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 sealless design which eliminates the main risk of potential for leakage, mechanical seal failure

Steam water mixer provides a safe and reliable source of hot water delivered at the correct temperature and pressure to clean process machinery and storage vessels.
Pumps move thick, viscous fluids
Air-operated piston pumps transfer thick, high viscosity ingredients such as tomato puree, pulps, creams and syrups easily and need no tools to dismantle for cleaning.
Available from liquids handling specialists Pump Engineering, 3M pumps cover flow rates 0.5 -1000 m3/hr at heads up to 1300 metres, at temperatures ranging from 150degC to +450degC.
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 1000 m3/hr, heads up to 1300 metres, peripheral regenerative turbine for smooth, pulsation-free medium flows up to 10m3 /hr, heads up to 1000 metres and sliding vane pumps for pulsation-free dosing and injection applications providing flows up to 3000 lit/hr and pressures up to 13 bar.
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.
3M pumps, which, depending on the model can handle liquids at temperatures from 150degC to +450degC, are available in a wide choice of materials including stainless steel, Hastelloy C, Incoloy, Titanium, PP and PVDF.
API versions are also available.
