Each Innomag pump is specified based on fluid chemistry, temperature, pressure, and duty point to ensure long-term reliability.
Typical Applications for Flowserve Innomag Pumps
Innomag pumps are commonly applied in processes where leakage prevention and chemical compatibility are essential.
| Application Area | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|
| Chemical Transfer & Circulation | Continuous movement of corrosive or hazardous process fluids where leakage prevention is critical. |
| Acid & Caustic Handling | Transfer of aggressive acids and alkalis requiring corrosion-resistant, seal-less pump design. |
| Hazardous & Toxic Fluids | Containment-focused pumping of fluids that pose environmental or personnel safety risks. |
| Water & Wastewater Treatment Chemicals | Dosing and circulation of treatment chemicals with consistent flow and minimal maintenance. |
| Petrochemical & Refinery Systems | Auxiliary services supporting process units where operational reliability is essential. |
| Industrial Process Fluids | General process transfer requiring leak-free operation and material compatibility. |
PCS evaluates each application to confirm suitability, avoiding common issues such as off-design operation, material incompatibility, or thermal overload that can compromise pump performance and lifecycle reliability.
Benefits of Seal-less Innomag® Technology
Selecting a magnetic drive pump is a risk-management decision, not just a product choice.

-
Elimination of seal leakage risk
-
Improved process safety and environmental protection
-
Reduced maintenance and seal replacement costs
-
Lower total cost of ownership over the pump lifecycle
-
Improved uptime in continuous operation systems
These benefits are most effective when the pump is correctly sized and specified for the duty conditions.

Ensures Maximum Operational Efficiency
Oversized to manage radial loads, optimising flow and reducing NPSHR.
Parts Interchangeability
Across sizes to lower inventory costs and streamline maintenance.
Exceptional Solid Handling
Capable of efficiently processing up to 30% solid content of 0.13 mm.
Offering A Cutting-Edge Thrust-Balanced Design
Utilising a dynamic thrust balancing system, it eliminates the need for traditional thrust bearings, enhancing pump reliability and extending its lifespan compared to conventional forward thrust designs.
This innovative approach boosts overall pump efficiency, leading to reduced operational costs and greater long-term performance.
Enhanced Solids-Handling Capability
In magnetic drive pumps, solids can cause damage to radial bearings, inner magnets, and the containment shell. The TB-MAG pump addresses this by utilising silicon carbide back wear rings that block solids larger than 0.127 mm (0.005 in) from entering the containment area.
This ensures that only clean fluid reaches the pump shaft and bearings, preserving their integrity and performance.
