Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Base Chemicals named applications | Chemical Waste Treatment, Bromine Production, Chloralkali electrolysis, MDI-Production, TDI-Production, Acid Production and Treatment, Titanium Dioxide Production, Fertilizers Production | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| MNK temperature/pressure envelope | -60°C to +200°C (-80°F to +400°F) at PN16 | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| MPB gas tolerance | MPB self-primes without an additional suction tank and safely pumps liquids with up to 30% gas content — a distinct capability from the other 3 Richter families | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| Magnet materials | SmCo (samarium cobalt) and NdFeB (neodymium iron boron) rare-earth permanent magnets | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
Richter's own documentation flags that MNK, RM, and QMD are not gas-tolerant by design — only the MPB family safely handles liquids with up to 30% entrained gas content; specifying MNK on an off-gassing process stream risks the cavitation-driven failure MPB was built to avoid.
Base-chemical production covers everything from bromine to MDI/TDI isocyanates — Richter names these processes directly, and the real spec question is temperature/pressure envelope and gas tolerance across its 4 families, not whether 'a mag-drive pump' in the abstract will work.
