  • Patent number: 10267327
    Abstract: A sealless magnetic drive pump features in improving the stiffness of a stationary shaft. More particularly, the metal magnetic drive pump has an anti-corrosion casing liner. The magnetic drive pump is used in manufacture processes related to corrosive fluid. The pump is especially used in a highly corrosive and high-temperature (up to 200° C.) condition to improve the stiffness of a front support. The stationary shaft includes a metal front support integrated with the pump casing at a pump inlet and encapsulated with a resin enclosure made of a fluoropolymer; a rear shaft seat positioned on a sealed bottom side of a containment shell for offering auxiliary support for the stationary shaft; an impeller including a channel for reducing an inlet flow velocity to offer a low NPSHr.

  • Patent number: 6854957
    Abstract: A seal of a vertical pump with a front casing disposed on a main casing which has a motor disposed therein. A volute chamber is disposed inside the front casing to receive a centrifugal impeller. A suction inlet is disposed axially on the front casing opposite the motor. A water outlet is disposed thereon opposite the lateral side of the impeller to engage with a discharge pipe. The suction inlet and outlet are in communication with a volute chamber. The pump has a non-contact seal disposed on the impeller. The seal can jam when a liquid crystallizes. Therefore, if no heat is generated due to the friction of the seal, the pump operates better. Furthermore, it prevents a back impeller vane from stirring the air and ejecting the liquid with a lot of air bubbles when the pump operates. Therefore, it eliminates the air bubbles from causing problems during the manufacturing process of a printed circuit board.
