Product Introduction The Series is the ultimate solution for the most challenging pumping applications, designed to handle high-temperature fluids that are prone to solidifying, crystallizing, or becoming highly viscous at ambient temperatures. This pump integrates a heating jacket into its design, alongside all the high-temperature features of the model. It is the essential choice for ensuring the reliable, leak-proof transfer of materials like molten sulfur, concentrated caustic soda, and polymers, which must be kept hot to remain in a liquid state.
Design Philosophy & Construction The pump builds upon the high-temperature design by adding an active heating element to the pump itself.
- Integrated Heating Jacket: The pump casing features a double-walled construction, creating a hollow chamber or “jacket” that surrounds the pumped fluid. This jacket has inlet and outlet ports, allowing a heating medium—such as steam, hot water, or thermal oil—to be continuously circulated. This transfers heat into the pump, maintaining the temperature of the process fluid.
- Complete Temperature Maintenance: The primary function of the jacket is to keep the liquid inside the pump hot even when the pump is idle. This prevents the product from solidifying or “freezing” within the pump, which would cause damage upon startup and lead to costly downtime. It can also be used to pre-heat the pump to prevent thermal shock.
- High-Temperature Heritage: The pump retains all the critical high-temperature features of the rest models, including the heat isolation cooling chamber to protect the motor and the high-grade Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) magnets that resist demagnetization at high temperatures.
Key Features & Benefits
- Prevents Product Solidification: The active heating jacket is the most effective way to prevent fluids from solidifying or crystallizing inside the pump during shutdowns or process interruptions.
- Maintains Constant Fluid Viscosity: Ensures that thick, viscous materials are kept hot and flow smoothly, improving pump efficiency and reliability.
- Total Process Temperature Control: Allows the pump to be an integrated part of a temperature-controlled process line, ensuring fluid integrity from start to finish.
- Combined High-Temperature & Leak-Proof Design: Offers the dual benefits of handling extreme heat while providing the absolute safety and containment of a sealless magnetic drive pump.
- Reduces Downtime and Damage: Prevents the significant damage and long delays that can occur when a product freezes inside a standard pump.
Common Applications The pumpis specified for liquids that are solid or highly viscous at room temperature:
- Molten Sulfur: A primary application in oil refineries and chemical plants.
- Concentrated Caustic Soda (NaOH): Handling 50% concentration caustic, which crystallizes at lower temperatures.
- Polymers, Resins, and Adhesives: Pumping materials that must be kept hot to flow.
- Bitumen and Asphalt: Transferring hot tar and asphalt in roofing and paving industries.
- Phthalic Anhydride & Caprolactam: Pumping chemicals that are solid at ambient temperatures.
- Waxes, Paraffins, and Fatty Acids.
