DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackmer, part of PSG, a Dover (NYSE: DOV) company, and a global leader in specialty pumps and reciprocating compressor technologies, is pleased to announce the availability of its new MAGNES Series Sliding Vane Magnetic Drive Pumps. The pumps represent the latest advancement in seal-less magnetic drive technology.

Blackmer MAGNES Series pumps incorporate innovative design features that provide a unique combination of flexibility, functionality and reliability. The result is a product that solves typical legacy operating pain points, including unexpected dry run; pumping fluids with solids; handling of fluids with entrained vapors and poor inlet conditions; and inflexible pump operating range, while also delivering technically superior handling of hazardous chemicals in severe-duty applications.

Blackmer MAGNES Series pumps are positive displacement rotary vane pumps that use a magnetic drive without dynamic seals, providing a leak-free pumping solution for difficult-to-seal, expensive, valuable, dangerous and hazardous liquids. Its rotary vane magnetic drive pump design combines the leak-free benefits of a magnetic drive pump with the numerous advantages of sliding vane technology, including self-priming, line-stripping, product recovery, indefinite dry-run capability, solids handling, thin/thick viscosity flexibility, easy maintenance, low to zero NPSHr, 70% to 90% pump efficiencies, and full-curve operational flexibility.

The pumps are currently available in a 3-inch model in both ductile iron and stainless-steel construction, with a 4-inch model expected to be released in January 2021. The MAGNES Series pumps feature a non-metallic, proprietary composite containment shell that provides the coupling strength of a thin wall metallic shell and the reliability of an eddy-current-free design. Unlike alternate pump options that must be tuned to a single BEP, MAGNES Series magnetic drive pumps have the robustness and flexibility to handle multiple changing fluid and system conditions. MAGNES pumps are available with an optional close-coupled drive design that enables quick and easy system setup, eliminating time-consuming alignment processes.
