The external magnet is set in motion by the motor shaft, the magnetic attraction moves the internal one which, connected to the impeller via a ceramic shaft, will make it move. The impeller is thus hermetically insulated. As there is no contiguity between the motor shaft and impeller, any risk of fluid leakage or spillage is eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>The elimination of seals is a great improvement in pump performance and reliability. Magnetic drive pumps are available in most metals and materials, metallic and non-metallic. Polymer-coated pumps are also used because they offer greater resistance to corrosion. Polymeric coating options include Polypropylene (PP) or Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44125 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico.jpg\" alt=\"Advantages of magnetic drive pumps\" width=\"770\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-768x295.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-120x46.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-81x31.jpg 81w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of magnetic drive pumps<\/h2>\n<p>The advantages of a magnetic drive pump are many and can be described in the following points.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Safety and efficiency:<\/strong> Magnetic drive pumps are a viable solution for applications that handle difficult-to-seal chemicals, particularly with potentially toxic, highly corrosive and expensive liquids, enabling compliance with the stringent environmental and safety regulations of many process industries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost optimisation: <\/strong>Centrifugal magnetic drive pumps are a cost-effective solution, as they require less maintenance because they do not use conventional mechanical seals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44158 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1.jpg\" alt=\"Applicazioni delle pompe a trascinamento magnetico\" width=\"770\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1-768x295.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1-120x46.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DEBEM-PompeTrascinamentoMagnetico-Applicazioni_V1-81x31.jpg 81w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Applications of magnetic drive pumps<\/h2>\n<p>Magnetic drive pumps are most used in applications in sectors such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chemical industry:<\/strong> for handling difficult liquids such as acids, bases, corrosives, etc&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Galvanic industry:<\/strong> for pumping volatile liquids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water treatment:<\/strong> management and handling of additives for purification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gold industry:<\/strong> silver recovery systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Photographic industry:<\/strong> transfer of photographic development chemicals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/en\/resources\/catalogues\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43731 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN.jpg\" alt=\"Download the Debem industrial catalog\" width=\"770\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN-768x295.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN-120x46.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.debem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DEBEM-PompeAODDApplicazioniGravose_CTA-Catalogo-EN-81x31.jpg 81w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>DEBEM&#8217;s magnetic drive centrifugal pumps<\/h2>\n<p>Within its industrial pump range, Debem has two distinct lines of centrifugal magnetic drive pumps.
