Goulds® magnetically driven process pumps now offer Dry Guard&No. 153; bearings. Dry Guard&No. 153; bearings, which feature a unique diamond-like coating, are designed to significantly reduce the coefficient of friction, enabling longer periods of safe operation under dry run conditions. Dry running can inadvertently occur when a source tank empties or a valve is shut off up stream from the pump. The Dry Guard&No. 153; solution is available in pump models 3296 EZMAG, ICM and 3298 series &No. 61607;the 3296 EZMAG&No. 153; is an ANSI metal magnetic drive process pump with a simple sealless design. The EZMAG is ideal for difficult liquids, such as corrosives,pollutants, ultra-pure liquids, toxics and hard to seal liquids. It has three patented features that maximize the product's life cycle and make it easier to maintain. &No. 61607;The ICM model is the ISO version of the 3296 EZMAG,which includes all of the same features for tough applications worldwide. &No. 61607;The 3298 series pumps are lined magnetic-drive pumps designed to handle moderate to severe corrosives economically. The 3298 features a thick Tefzelw lining and is available in frame mounted, close-coupled, in-line and self priming models.“The most common mode of failure for Magnetic drive pumps is due to dry running conditions,” said Ed Kupp, product manager, sealless pumps. “Dry Guard &No. 153; provides protection that can last for hours, enabling the operator to correct the problem before a catastrophic failure occurs, which would otherwise result in process downtime and possible safety and environmental concerns.”
