FTI Mag-Drive Pumps

The Zero-Leak Standard for Chemical Transfer

Sealless magnetic drive designs eliminate the mechanical seal — the #1 cause of pump downtime. From flooded suction to deep-lift self-priming and ANSI-dimensional pumps, FTI delivers leak-proof, emission-free performance for corrosive and hazardous chemicals.

Direct answer: FTI mag-drive pumps use a sealless magnetic drive design that eliminates the mechanical seal — the #1 cause of pump downtime — for zero-emission, leak-free transfer of corrosive and hazardous chemicals. The lineup ranges from flooded-suction (DB) and self-priming (SP) models up to ANSI-dimensional pumps (UCR) rated to 492 ft of head, 300 psi, and 250°F, so the right series depends on flow, head, viscosity, and chemical service.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a sealless mag-drive pump over a traditional sealed pump?

Sealless magnetic drive designs eliminate the mechanical seal — the #1 cause of pump downtime — providing zero-emission, leak-free performance for corrosive and hazardous chemicals.

What's the difference between the DB and SP series?

DB Series is a flooded-suction design with the highest efficiency in its class (up to 70%), while SP Series adds self-priming capability with a 25 ft lift and 18 ft prime in 90 seconds.

What temperature and pressure can UCR series pumps handle?

UCR Series (ANSI-dimensional, ductile iron with pure ETFE lining) handles up to 492 ft of head / 300 psi and up to 250°F, the highest-rated series in the FTI mag-drive lineup.
