Operating Principle
Magnetically driven turbine pumps are hermetically sealed. These highly efficient turbine pumps are particularly suitable for applications requiring low flow rates and high discharge heads. The driving torque is transmitted through a permanent magnetic coupling to an internal magnet, which drives the impeller.
Unlike the AM centrifugal pump with its axial suction connection, the AMT features a radial suction connection, as well as a radial discharge connection. Thanks to this design, the suction and discharge connections can be positioned in reverse orientation. The impeller is mounted on the shaft independently of the direction of rotation.
The pump head can be rotated in 45° increments to suit your pipework layout; however, the pump must always be installed in a self-venting position.
Applications
AMT pumps are equipped with a high-efficiency PVDF turbine impeller. Thanks to the close tolerances between the pump casing and the impeller, the pump is capable of generating relatively high discharge pressures.
This pump type is particularly suitable for the transfer or circulation of small volumes of concentrated, clean chemicals at relatively high discharge heads. If the pumped liquid contains solid particles, a strainer must be installed in the suction line to protect the pump against damage.
Self-Priming ZA Version Available
AMT-ZA pumps can handle liquids containing up to 20% entrained gas. Thanks to their self-priming capability, vapor lock is prevented and permanently flooded suction pipework is not required.
