Simply by eliminating the pump shaft seal, the Universal Mag Drive can save you more than 50% of the total pump,parts and downtime cost in one year. Assuming the cost of:

• Spare mechanical seal
• Mechanical seal accessories
• Two seal replacements and repairs yearly
• Unplanned downtime
• Lost production
• Lost process revenue at $1,000 per hour
• Potential EPA fines for leaks and/or spills

Internal Gear pumps configured to match applications provide a lower total cost of ownership. With a variety of construction materials, use of virtually any seal type and jacketing options makes Viking’s Universal Series the ideal pump choice for liquids as thin as Naphtha to as viscous as Asphalt. This series’ multiple port options minimizes piping and system changes, simplifying and lowering installation costs.

The Universal Series’ also has a dimensionally interchangeable sealless option.  The Universal Mag Drive (UMD) eliminates seal leakage and environmental concerns, along with the downtime and maintenance costs associated with seal replacement. The UMD’s adjustable rotor clearance enables superior volumetric efficiency, whether pumping hazardous, hard-to-seal liquids like Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) or phenol formaldehyde resins; and styrene monomers. The Universal Mag Drive's hollow shaft design generates positive internal cooling flow significantly increasing pump life.

So, whether you’re seeking a packed, mechanically sealed or sealless mag drive pump for new construction, a replacement or a proven simple solution for upgrading existing pumps the Universal Series provides the greatest flexibility.
