Magnetic Drive Turbine Pumps

AxFlow supplies mag drive turbine pumps for reliable, leak-free transfer where the chemical duty, containment requirements or operating conditions make mechanical seals undesirable. Turbine mag drive pumps are positive displacement pumps that deliver controlled flow and are commonly selected for chemical transfer, dosing and recirculation duties—especially where consistent performance and safe containment matter.

What are mag drive turbine pumps?

A mag drive turbine pump is a sealless positive displacement pump that uses a magnetic coupling to transmit torque from the motor to the pump without a dynamic shaft seal. The turbine (regenerative) pumping principle generates pressure through repeated energy transfer within the turbine stage, providing stable flow and useful pressure capability in a compact pump format (duty dependent).

How do mag drive turbine pumps work?

• A drive magnet on the motor shaft rotates an inner magnet through a containment shell
• The internal rotating element drives the turbine stage without a shaft penetrating the pump casing
• Liquid is accelerated within the turbine channel, building pressure as it circulates through the stage
• Flow is delivered continuously with a predictable relationship to speed and system conditions (application dependent)

Typical applications

• Chemical transfer of acids, alkalis and solvents (compatibility dependent)
• Metering-style transfer and dosing support where stable flow is required
• Tank-to-tank transfer and recirculation in chemical plants
• Skid-mounted chemical systems where leak-free containment is a priority
• Process duties where differential head requirements exceed typical centrifugal mag drive capability (application dependent)

AxFlow mag drive turbine pump ranges

AxFlow supplies multiple mag drive turbine pump options within its sealless portfolio, including non-metallic constructions for corrosive duties and corrosion-resistant metal options for demanding chemical services. Contact AxFlow to match the correct turbine mag drive pump to your chemical, required flow, and differential pressure.

FAQs

When should I choose a turbine mag drive pump instead of a centrifugal mag drive pump?

Choose a turbine mag drive pump when you need a sealless solution but the duty demands higher differential head or more controlled PD-style delivery than a centrifugal mag drive pump can provide (application dependent).

Are mag drive turbine pumps suitable for corrosive chemicals?

Yes—mag drive turbine pumps are available in corrosion-resistant materials (range dependent). Chemical compatibility depends on the exact fluid, concentration, temperature and wetted material selection.

What information do you need to size a mag drive turbine pump?

Chemical and concentration, temperature, required flow, differential pressure/head, suction conditions, viscosity, and any solids/crystallisation risk.
