Sealless, magnetic drive pumps offer many benefits over sealed, traditional pumps even those with costly and complex seal support systems. These traditional, sealed pumps can often experience leaks which can be a serious safety concern in many applications as well as causing costly repairs and cleanup efforts. In many applications, sealless pumps are replacing traditional pumps to provide leak free pumping solutions which provide many benefits to the process as well as overall business operations.
Benefits of Sealless Pumps
A sealless pump is essentially a centrifugal, conventional pump without the seals. A static containment shell replaces the seal to form a completely sealed end or pressure boundary. There are many reasons why companies should choose to use a sealless pump over traditional, sealed pumps, with some of the top considerations being:
- Fewer working parts
- Easier and less costly to maintain
- Elimination of leaks
- Easy installation
Who Benefits from Sealless Pumps?
The leak free performance and simple maintenance of sealless, magnetic drive pumps provides many benefits to a wide range of pumping applications. These are most noticeable in applications such as the oil, chemical, gas production, petroleum, and pharmaceutical processes as well as general applications which involve the use of aggressive, corrosive, fine, or toxic liquids.
Sealless magnetic pumps deliver dependable, reliable performance required in these industrial applications for process safety as well as safety and environmental regulation requirements.
Why You Should Choose a Sealless Pump
The benefits listed above achieved in many pumping applications provide ample reason to choose a sealless magnetic drive pump. Some of the most important considerations leading to choosing a sealless pump include:
Savings – sealless pumps save time and money throughout their lifetime which provide significant cost savings. With sealless pumps, less time is required for maintenance, there is no cleanup of potential spills and they operate with long-lasting performance.
Safety – safety is the number one concern when pumping harmful, caustic fluids. These fluids are completely contained within the body of the sealless pump significantly improving safety and corporate responsibility.
Less maintenance and skilled labor – the simplicity and fewer parts of the sealless pumps require less maintenance and less skilled labor, reducing plant labor expenses.
Sealless standards – sealless pumps utilize technology that can meet relevant international standards such as ISO, ANSI, ASME, and API.
