There are many different areas of application for the NeoMag\u00ae pump from DST Dauermagnet-SystemTechnik GmbH.\u00a0 As a result of ATEX certification, the centrifugal pump with the BOROHARDCAN\u00ae silicon glass separating can has now also become the standard energy-efficient chemical pump, and can therefore be employed in potentially explosive areas. In addition, with an energy-saving of up to 30 percent, the NeoMag\u00ae is very impressive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the secret of the pump?\u00a0<\/em>
\nThe NeoMag\u00ae is a single-stage, non-self-priming, stainless steel centrifugal pump in block design. Its centre-piece is the BOROHARDCAN\u00ae, a canister made from borosilicate glass – a patented innovation from DST. This brings the NeoMag\u00ae into a new economical, energy-saving dimension. There is no heat development due to eddy currents. The BOROHARDCAN\u00ae is thereby, in itself, a particularly economical solution for magnetically coupled standard centrifugal pumps. The pump impeller and the housing components of the NeoMag\u00ae have been developed and designed according to the latest expertise with regard to flow technology and hydraulics.<\/p>\n

How often does the pump have to be serviced?<\/em>
\nThrough the employment of the new patented permanent magnetic coupling with BOROHARDCAN\u00ae canister and a compact plain bearing mounting made from silicon carbide (SSIC), one can assume a maintenance-free running time of circa five years and more for the NeoMag\u00ae.<\/p>\n

How much energy can be saved?<\/em>
\nComparing a normal magnetic centrifugal pump with conventional magnetic drive and the new NeoMag\u00ae pump, with a delivery rate of 60 m\u00b3\/h and a delivery height of 60m, and using the DST patented BOROHARDCAN\u00ae separating can, a power saving of up to 3.5 kW can be achieved. With a power requirement of 18.5 kW, on a pump which is in operation 24 hours a day for the whole year, as a result of the improved magnetic coupling the energy saved is 30,660 kWh, which is a saving of \u20ac3,066 at a price of 0.10\u20ac\/kWh. If an energy-efficient IE2 motor is employed, for the NeoMag\u00ae pump unit there is a further energy saving of up to 11 percent compared with conventional drive solutions. In the example calculation this means a saving of a further 14,454 kWh and thus \u20ac1,445.40.<\/p>\n

What does the pump cost?<\/em>
\nA centrifugal pump with double-acting mechanical seals and the NeoMag\u00ae is at more or less the same price point. With a running time of five years – depending on the media being pumped – the customer saves five to ten maintenance intervals for the mechanical seals.<\/p>\n

What can be pumped?<\/em>
\nThe NeoMag\u00ae can be obtained in the pressure ranges PN10 and PN16 for a delivery rate up to 60m\u00b3\/h and for delivery height of up to 60m.\u00a0 The series will be extended further to smaller design sizes on the first bearing bracket. A permanent magnetic coupling with a new magnet configuration specially developed for employment in the NeoMag\u00ae is suitable for media temperatures up to 150\u00b0C. A magnet assembly for employment up to 350\u00b0C is possible on request.<\/p>\n
