SMX / SMX-F Magnetic Drive Self-Priming Chemical Transfer Pumps

SMX / SMX-F Magnetic Drive Self-Priming Chemical Transfer Pumps

Self-priming pumps are widely used centrifugal pumps that can automatically prime themselves without external assistance, making them ideal when manual priming is challenging. They are designed for applications where fluid levels may fluctuate or where they might need to operate with a dry suction line—situations where traditional centrifugal pumps cannot self-prime.

Iwaki America’s SMX series of magnetically driven non-metallic pumps feature an innovative true self-priming design with no mechanical seals, ensuring years of trouble-free service. The SMX series includes a self-radiating bearing structure and non-contact dry-run capability, allowing them to endure the rigors of abnormal operating conditions across various industries. These pumps deliver superior, repeatable self-priming performance through an integral priming and air separation chamber. SMX (F) magnetic drive pumps are particularly well-suited for transferring chemicals like bleach and sulfuric acid.

Maximum Capacity: Up to 132 Gallons Per Minute (GPM)

Quick Priming: Capable of dry lifting up to 13 feet in under 90 seconds.

Expanded Versatility: The SMX features a modular design to handle liquids with high specific gravities. Utilizing standard motors broadens its range of applications.

Easy Maintenance: The pump’s wet end can be removed from the motor as a complete assembly without dismantling, thanks to an additional rear casing support. Its simple, rugged design with minimal parts ensures easy maintenance.

Enhanced Durability Under Abnormal Operation: The patented self-radiation structure efficiently disperses bearing friction heat, protecting the pump under abnormal conditions. Additionally, the non-contact structure prevents contact between the rear thrust face and bearing, eliminating heat buildup during dry running.

Motor Options: The SMX(F) series mounts to NEMA C-faced motors, offering limitless voltage and service choices.
