Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| MNK temperature range | -60°C to +200°C (-80°F to +400°F) — widest range of Richter's 4 mag-drive families | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| MNK pressure rating | PN16 nominal pressure | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| MNK lining options | PFA, PTFE, or PFA-conductive lining; eddy-current-free CFRP/PTFE double can | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
| Named mining applications | Vendor names Leaching reactions, Electrolysis processes, Acid and lye recycling/pre-concentrating, Recycling of rare earth elements under Mining & Ore | Richter Chemie-Technik — Industries + Centrifugal Magnetic Drive Pumps |
MNK-S/SB (self-priming) and MNK-X/XB (vortex-type, semi-open impeller) variants exist specifically for solids-laden media — the standard MNK impeller isn't the right call once ore fines are in suspension.
Mining leach circuits run acid and lye recycling loops where a conventional mechanical seal is a guaranteed maintenance callback — Richter's MNK line is sealless by design, and its SAFEGLIDE PLUS dry-running bearings and eddy-current-free composite can exist for that exact duty, not as a marketing add-on.
