Finish Thompson highlights the DB Series line of sealless mag-drive centrifugal pumps, engineered for hydraulic efficiency and reliability in demanding electroplating and anodizing environments.
The company says the DB Series delivers superior chemical resistance and a suite of features that simplify installation and maintenance. They say it is perfect for transferring chemicals and rinse waters from sumps or ensuring continuous flow through filters to maintain clean plating solutions.
The DB Series combines a close-coupled design with robust polypropylene or PVDF construction, ensuring safe and reliable handling of highly corrosive chemicals while minimizing downtime due to corrosion. Every model is equipped with powerful neodymium magnets, providing strong, efficient, and dependable power transmission. The pump’s replaceable shaft and bushing make maintenance straightforward and cost-effective, extending the operational life of the equipment. With a back pullout design, the DB Series allows for easy maintenance without disconnecting piping, further reducing downtime and labor costs.
Engineered for versatility, the DB Series offers multiple connection options, including NPT, BSP, flanges, and unions, to streamline system integration and reduce installation time. Mounting is flexible, with compatibility for both NEMA and IEC motor frames, and the innovative Easy Set measurement-free outer drive ensures optimum magnet alignment and effortless motor installation without disassembly. For added convenience, the DB Series can be installed horizontally or vertically (with IEC motors), adapting to a variety of system layouts.
The DB Series is certified to CE, UKCA, and EAC standards, with ATEX models available for hazardous environments, meeting the most rigorous international safety requirements. Capable of handling high specific gravity fluids (greater than 1.8) and viscosities over 150 cP, the DB Series is suitable for dense, heavy, or viscous liquids across a wide range of applications. Operating at high working pressures up to 90 psi (6.2 bar) and maximum temperatures of 180°F (82°C) for polypropylene and 220°F (104°C) for PVDF, these pumps offer unmatched chemical and thermal compatibility.
With flow rates from less than 1 to 221 gallons per minute and maximum head up to 201 feet, the DB Series delivers the best hydraulic efficiency in its class—up to 70%—resulting in significant energy savings and lower operating costs. The sealless mag-drive design eliminates mechanical seals, reducing the risk of leakage and minimizing maintenance requirements. When equipped with a carbon bushing, the DB Series boasts superior run dry capability, protecting the pump during system upsets or operator errors.
