High Pressure Sealless Pumps

If you, or rather your process, is under pressure, then you need the HMD Kontro HPGS,  a sealless magnetic drive pump designed specifically for high-pressure applications.  This sealless pump is particularly suitable for use in the chemical and petrochemical industries as well as site utilities.

HPGS

The HPGS magnetic drive pump can withstand system pressures of up to 2680 psi (185 bar) and is available with 7 hydraulics. It comes with a range of synchronous magnet drives, which are rated for prime mover performance. Standard construction is stainless steel with silicon carbide internal bearings although other metallic materials are also possible.

As an example application, HPGS pumps are very suitable for use when checking the density of process fluids in a high-pressure pipeline. The HPGS pump is positioned on a pipeline skid, in order to take out a sample of the fluid from the main product stream and then return it to the main pipeline after analysis through a densitometer.

HPGS pumps comply with all specifications required by the petroleum and heavy chemical industries and are typically used in toxic, aggressive, hot, crystallising and high-value processes.

Benefits of the HMD Kontro HPGS Pump include:

  • Sealless design for total product containment
  • Modular / interchangeable high-efficiency wet end
  • Provides maximum flow and head coverage
  • Flows to 70 m³/hr / 308 gpm
  • Heads to 70 m / 230 ft
  • Temperature range -40 to 205°C / 400°F
  • High-efficiency magnetic couplings

Think Sealless Select – Why Sealless Pumps are So Suitable for Your Application

Magnetic drive pumps are very applicable for many processes and are widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrichemical, oil & gas, both upstream and downstream, offshore and onshore, food and beverage production and across many industrial operations.

 

Is it time for you to select sealless? 

The latest parameters at which magnetic drive pumps can operate may surprise you:

  • Flow Rates – Up to 690m3/hour / 3000 USGPM
  • Heads – Up to 240m / 767ft differential
  • Viscosity – Maximum 200 cSt
  • Temperature – Down to minus 100oC / 148oF
    • Up to 450oC / 840oF Torque Ring Design
    • Up to 315oC / 600oF Synchronous Design
  • Pressure – Up to 185 Bar / 2683 psi

All HMD Kontro pumps, as standard, can handle up to 5% hard solids and sizes up to 150 microns. By fitting a self-cleaning in-line filter, this can be increased to 250 microns.  For larger concentrations, we can provide other alternative solutions such as: cartridge filters, clean flush systems, etc.

If you have a particular liquid that you wish to pump, then please contact us for advice. There is a very good chance that we have worked with this product in the past and can advise on the most appropriate pump for your application.

HMD Kontro sealless pumps can be manufactured to relevant specifications such as ASME, ISO and API.  To check the applications and operating parameters of our magnetic drive pumps, please see the Think Sealless Select page.
