ZEROLOSS FOR FURTHER FRAME SIZES
PUMPS
AESSEAL LAUNCHES THE NEW MAGTECTA-S™ BEARING PROTECTOR
PUMPS
AESSEAL has launched the MagTecta-S™ bearing protector. The MagTecta-S™ uses proprietary magnet seal technology and can eliminate more than half of all bearing failures.
HMD Kontro Sealless Pumps has expanded the ranges for its ZeroLoss™ containment shells to Frame l, ll and lll versions of its most popular sealless magnetic drive pumps.
Previous magnetic drive pump containment shells were made of metal, but the ZeroLoss Containment Shells are engineered from a composite material of poly-etherether-ketone( PEEK) and carbon fibre that was initially developed for military and aerospace equipment.
Five times lighter than steel but just as strong, the ZeroLoss Shell increases the pump’ s reliability; provides greater efficiency; allows for temperature ranges from-40 ° C to + 150 ° C; bolsters the pump’ s
resistance to thermal shock; and eliminates potential vapourisation of process chemicals near the pump’ s bearing.
As a result, ZeroLoss Containment Shells enable HMD Kontro sealless magnetic drive pumps to resist a wider range of volatile and heat sensitive chemicals, and endure the rigours of a wider range of process applications.

The MagTecta-S™ combines the best of existing AESSEAL MagTecta™ and LabTecta ® technology to make it one of the most reliable and costeffective bearing protection products on the market.
Bearing failures account for more than 20 % of all pump and other rotating equipment breakdowns, and in more than half of those the root cause is contamination of the bearing oil, typically the result of inefficient lip seals.
Magnetically energised contacting faces and proven oil retention technology protects against the loss of bearing oil and the ingress of harmful liquids, moisture and particles. The MagTecta-S™ is
non-shaft-wearing and requires no routine maintenance— significantly reducing operating costs.
AESSEAL Bearing Protection Manager, Joshua Banks, says:“ The MagTecta-S™ is the result of AESSEAL’ s many years of experience with contacting face and labyrinth seal technology.
“ The combination of these proven technologies allows us to deliver yet another cost-effective reliability upgrade for our customers.”
