Highlights

ANSI-dimensional sealless magnetic-drive pumps combine comprehensive ETFE protection, durable construction and service-friendly design

Comprehensive ETFE Protection Against Permeation and Corrosion

The UCR Series features a ductile iron casing with pure, unfilled ETFE lining, a pure ETFE barrier liner and inner drive magnets fully encapsulated in pure, unfilled ETFE. Together, these containment components help protect against chemical permeation and corrosion from aggressive fluids, including oxidizers, acids and bases. Each inner drive is vacuum tested for quality and reliability.

Sealless Design Helps Prevent Leaks and Fugitive Emissions

Powerful neodymium magnets transfer torque through the barrier, eliminating the need for mechanical seals. This sealless design helps prevent leaks and fugitive emissions while reducing personnel exposure to corrosive liquids and vapors. FTI’s Vapor Protection Package uses three non-wetted O-rings to help protect the outer drive magnet and motor face from corrosive fumes.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Operation

A fully supported, single-geometry shaft and dual bushings help reduce shaft load, maintain alignment and support long-term operation. The spiral groove fluid pathway promotes cooling, while the hydraulic design controls axial thrust and reduces radial loads.

Streamlined Installation and Service

The UCR Series also streamlines installation and service. ANSI/ASME B73.1m and B73.3 dimensions support efficient installation, while the Easy Set Drive feature aligns the outer drive without measurement. A back pull-out design and snap-fit impeller connection allow the impeller or drive to be replaced independently, helping simplify maintenance and reduce inventory requirements.

Performance Range and Water Treatment Applications

UCR Series models handle flows from 1 to 1,450 gpm, heads up to 492 feet, pressures up to 300 psi and temperatures up to 250°F. The series is suited for water and wastewater treatment chemical transfer applications, including bulk unloading, day tank replenishment and the circulation of regeneration chemicals through ion exchange tanks. Available flange options include ANSI 150, ANSI 300 and ISO PN40, with CE, UKCA and ATEX certifications available.
