Its DB and SP Series pumps are
magnetically coupled, sealless centrifu-
gal pumps designed to pump corrosive
chemicals in electroplating and anodiz-
ing facilities.
They feature no mechanical seal,
with a “powerful rare earth magnetic
drive system to eliminate the trouble-

tured from polypropylene or PVDF for
corrosion resistance; have a run dry
ability making them less prone to op-
erator error or system upset; and a
self-priming option to lift fluid from as
deep as 25 feet below the pump or
pull liquid out of the top of a tank to
eliminate through-the-sidewall bulk-
head fittings.
