ZEROLOSS FOR FURTHER FRAME SIZES

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 .”
