The SMVP Seal-less Mag-Drive Sliding Vane Pumps can effectively handle deionized water during the manufacturing process of many types of pharmaceuticals. The pump is constructed of 316 stainless steel and designed with self-lubricating carbon graphite sleeve bearings ensuring no metal-to-metal contact. The SMVP is also designed with a seal-less magnetic coupling to meet the growing demand for zero shaft leakage when handling expensive, hazardous, and hard-to-seal fluids. The series is available in six models: SMVP15, SMVP30, SMVP50, SMVP100, SMVP200 and SMVP300. Flow rates range from 4 to 333 U.S. gpm (15 to 1,260 lpm) with an operating temperature range of -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 96°°C) and viscosity range up to 5,250 cP (25,000 ssu). The SMVP seal-less pump models have a unique bearing and head design that allows a small quantity of pumpage to circulate through the containment can and bearing surfaces. This positive flow of fluid minimizes temperature rise for maximum bearing life. Seal-less pump models are also equipped with samarium-cobalt magnets as standard construction. This rare earth material prevents permanent magnet degradation if adverse operating or "break-free" conditions occur.
