The
Magmo pump is a positive displacement pump which uses the
'elipse and scraper' pumping principle. The basic design was
originally conceived by the sugar industry itself, and plenty
mirrlees pumps have been manufacturing this type of pump for
over 30 years.
Magmo pumps are designed principally to handle high viscosity
abrasive sugar products that contain sugar crystals, such
as Massecuite , Magma and Molasses. The design ensures that
the sugar crystals contained within the liquids are not damaged
by the pumping action, and that the pump is subjected to minimum
wear.
Magmo pumps are available in three sizes, No.6, No.8, No.10.
The pump size indicates the discharge flange bore in inches.
Pump Feature
User Benefit
Gentle
pumping action
Minimum sugar
crystal damage.
Large
suction port
eliminates cavitation
problems, and allows higher running speeds.
Good
tolerance to large particles
Prevents pump
siezure
Grease
packed bearings with flushing arrangement
Extended bearing
and pump life. Zero leakage of pumped liquid.
Replaceable
sealing strip and sealing arm wear strip
Low cost wearing
parts that are easily replaced to extend the overall pump
life through a number of campaigns.
Heavy
duty sealing arm spring
Ensures operation
through many millions of cycles.
Shear
pin coupling
Dis-engages drives
if an obstruction enters the pump. Or the discharge pressure
exceeds 15 bar g, ensuring there is no damage to the pump
drive train.
Belt drive unit
Belts will slip
if an obstruction enters the pump, or thedischarge pressure
exceeds 15 bar g , ensuring there is no damage to the
pump drive train.
Pump speed can be easily changed on site by changing
the pulley diameters.
Operating
Parameters
Magmo
pumps are designed to operate primarily on Massecuite , Magma
and Molasses.
