When handling sensitive, hazardous, or high-purity fluids, industries demand reliable pumping solutions that ensure safety, efficiency, and leak-free operation. The INNOMAG® U-MAG, a fluoropolymer-lined magnetic drive pump from Flowserve, is specifically designed to deliver these qualities in a wide range of chemical processes and ultra-high purity applications. With its compact design, chemical resistance, and low total cost of ownership, the INNOMAG U-MAG is the ideal solution for smaller-volume pumping needs in sectors such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing.
Key Features of the INNOMAG U-MAG
The INNOMAG U-MAG is built with several key features that make it stand out in the magnetic drive pump market:
- Fluoropolymer-Lined Construction: The U-MAG’s ETFE or ultra-high purity PFA construction ensures excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for industries handling aggressive chemicals. Whether used in chemical processing or ultra-pure water applications, the pump’s fluoropolymer lining provides long-term durability, even in challenging conditions.
- Magnetic Drive System: As a sealless magnetic drive pump, the INNOMAG U-MAG eliminates the need for mechanical seals, which are often prone to failure and leakage in conventional pumps. The use of Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets allows for maximum torque transmission, ensuring reliable performance across various applications. The magnetically driven system enhances safety by fully containing the pump’s fluids, thus preventing leaks and contributing to compliance with environmental regulations.
- Durable Components: The U-MAG’s Sintered Silicon Carbide Pump Shaft is designed to handle radial loads, enhancing the pump’s durability and longevity. Its composite containment shell, made of carbon fiber and ETFE, provides optimal leak protection and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term use without performance degradation.
Applications for the INNOMAG U-MAG
The versatility of the INNOMAG U-MAG makes it suitable for a wide array of industrial applications, especially those requiring high purity and chemical resistance:
- Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing: The INNOMAG U-MAG’s ultra-high purity configuration makes it the pump of choice in industries that require the highest levels of cleanliness, such as semiconductor, LCD, and circuit board manufacturing. It is commonly used in reverse osmosis and deionized water systems where purity is paramount.
- Chemical Processing and Metal Plating: With its robust chemical resistance, the U-MAG performs exceptionally well in environments where it needs to handle corrosive fluids such as acids, solvents, and aggressive chemicals. This makes it an excellent option for chemical processing, metal plating, and gas scrubbing applications.
- Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: In industries where contamination can have serious consequences, the U-MAG’s leak-free operation ensures that sensitive fluids, like those used in pharmaceutical and food processing, are handled safely and efficiently.
- Heating, Cooling, and Environmental Control: The U-MAG pump is also used in heating and cooling systems, providing reliable fluid transfer in industrial settings. Its durability and chemical compatibility make it a trusted solution for managing processes like gas scrubbing in environmental control systems.
Complementary Pump Designs
For industries with more specific requirements, Flowserve offers the INNOMAG TB-MAG series, a fluoropolymer-lined, thrust-balanced magnetic drive pump for larger, more aggressive chemical services.
This pump design can be customized to meet specific application needs, and IPE provides expert guidance to ensure customers select the best solution for their processes.
INNOMAG Pumps: Maintenance and Longevity
One of the INNOMAG U-MAG’s key advantages is its ease of maintenance and cost efficiency. The pump is designed with a back pullout feature, allowing for easy inspection and service without the need to disconnect the pump from the system. For hazardous fluid handling, the contained back pullout option ensures that maintenance personnel are protected from harmful fluids, as the process liquid remains confined during service.
Additionally, the pump’s Particulate Control Ring and other wear-resistant components reduce downtime and extend the overall life of the pump. Replacement kits for major components, including impeller assemblies and containment shells, make maintenance more convenient and reduce the total cost of ownership.
Ultra-High Purity Construction
For applications demanding the strictest purity requirements, such as semiconductor or pharmaceutical manufacturing, the U-MAG can be specified in an ultra-high purity configuration. Wetted components are made from ultra-high purity PFA and silicon carbide, ensuring that the pump meets even the most stringent cleanliness standards.
INNOMAG: Dependability and Adaptability
The INNOMAG U-MAG stands out as a versatile, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industries. From chemical processing and ultra-pure water applications to pharmaceutical and food processing, its fluoropolymer-lined, magnetic drive design provides the safety, durability, and performance required for modern industrial processes.
