Magnetically coupled pumps are the solution of choice for pumping fluids posing an environmental or health hazard such as acids, alkalis, solvents, or high-value products in the presence or in the absence of solids. We distribute magnetic drive pumps under the Munsch, World Chemical, Pan World and Schmitt brands.

Magnetic Drive Chemical Pump FAQs
-
A magnetic drive pump is a leak-free centrifugal pump that uses magnets instead of a mechanical seal to move liquid. Because there’s no seal, there’s no risk of leaks – making it a safer, cleaner solution for handling chemicals and other sensitive fluids.

-
Magnetic drive chemical pumps have a leak-proof design, mitigating waste and preventing chemical spillages, which allow organisations to adhere to the many strict environmental and safety regulations.
Thanks to their simplistic but also very efficient design, magnetic drive pumps are very reliable and low maintenance.
-
Mag drive pumps eliminate seal failures, which are one of the most common causes of pump leaks and downtime. That means:
- Safer operation
- Lower maintenance costs
- Improved environmental compliance
- Greater peace of mind
They’re ideal when reliability and safety matter.
-
Yes. Since there’s no mechanical seal or shaft penetration, mag drive pumps are designed to be completely leak-free during normal operation.
-
Absolutely. With fewer moving parts and no mechanical seal to replace, mag drive pumps typically require less maintenance than conventional pumps – saving time, labour, and spare-parts costs.
-
Yes. Magnetic drive pumps are available in a range of corrosion-resistant materials. The right material can be selected to match your specific chemical and operating conditions.
-
They are highly efficient for most applications. While magnetic coupling introduces minimal energy loss, many customers find the overall operating cost is lower thanks to reduced maintenance and unplanned downtime.
-
Like most centrifugal pumps, mag drive pumps rely on the pumped liquid for cooling and lubrication. Dry running must be avoided; proper system design and monitoring can easily prevent this occurring.
-
Yes – when properly selected. Pumps can be configured with materials and designs suitable for elevated temperatures, depending on your application.
-
Initial purchase cost may be slightly higher than a sealed pump, but the total cost of ownership is often lower due to reduced maintenance, fewer failures, and longer service life.
-
With correct sizing, installation, and operation, mag drive pumps offer long, dependable service – often outperforming traditional sealed pumps in demanding applications.
-
If you’re handling hazardous, corrosive, or high-value liquids and want to minimise leaks, maintenance, and downtime, a magnetic drive pump is an excellent choice.
-
Not all mag-drive centrifugal pumps can handle solids as they rely on close internal clearances and the pumped liquid to lubricate internal bearings. Solids can interfere with this and cause wear or damage if not properly controlled.
Some mag-drive centrifugal pumps from Munsch and Schmitt can handle small amounts of soft or fine solids, but they are not designed for heavy, abrasive, or large solids.
Product spotlight: the Munsch CM+ series
The CM+ series of Munsch pumps is tailored to meet the most demanding requirements for chemicals and solvent handling, making it one of Munsch’s most diverse pumps yet.
New for 2023, we are very excited to be able to offer this new fluid transfer solution for our clients.
