One of the biggest problems when using pumps is dry running, up till now; there have been no solid answers.

One of the biggest problems when using pumps is dry running, up till now; there have been no solid answers Never intentional, dry running occurs when, either the outlet valve is closed, the supply source runs dry or a filter is blocked

All too often operator error is the underlying reason and a catastrophic pump failure can result.

The ARGAL "Route" range of Seal-less Magnetic driven Chemical pumps can accommodate dry running when fitted with Carbon HD bearing bushes! These pumps incorporate a patented "Two axial direction self alignment system" which introduces a secondary magnetic field to hold the impeller in a neutral position avoiding friction and an increase in heat.

With this system dry running times of over one hour are achievable.

The pumps available from ARGAL Distributor "The Pump Company " come in GFR-PP (glass fibre reinforced polypropylene) and CFF-E-CTFE (Ethylene Chloro Trifluoro Ethylene carbon fibre).

The pumps are suitable for most chemicals and cover a wide temperature range, with flows up to 48m3/h and heads of 40m.

Pumps comply to ATEX directive.

A number of magnetic couplings are available to suit specific gravities from < 1 to 1.8.

Our team have a wealth of experience in providing quality solutions to pumping problems.

We are a team of professional engineers - not salesmen, with a focus on value and lower life costs, not a quick fix.
