Chemical Gear Pumps  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

WITTE offers pumps for applications in borderline areas. We develop durable, standardised or customised solutions of the highest precision. For more than 35 years WITTE has specialised in the development of gear pumps for industrial applications. It is our endeavour to always guarantee the customer the highest level of process reliability and to match the pumps exactly to the application and the process. In this way we guarantee the best efficiency and durability of our pumps. Reduced maintenance costs and intervals due to matched material pairings guarantee a fast payback the investment costs. We have been working successfully for many years with well-known companies and innovation drivers from the industry and are constantly developing new solutions. Should we not have the right solution at hand, we develop together with our customers the suitable product. We accompany our customers during the entire project from the prototype to the final product. Experts from sales, project management and design form the project and development team and keep us informed of the project status at all times. More than 35 years of experience and the knowledge of our competence team flow into each of our pumps.

CHEM MAGNET – with magnetic coupling – seal design for safe operation with critical media
The CHEM Magnet is in principle constructed in the same way as the CHEM but with a synchronous magnetic coupling forming the shaft seal. This operates slip-free, i.e. the pump speed is always the same as the shaft speed, as long as the load torque does not exceed the nominal torque of the magnetic coupling.
The magnetic coupling lends itself to conveying poisonous or flammable substances, as well as for operation at high system pressures. Special versions can be used for inlet pressures of up to 700 bar (10152 psig).
The containment shell of the magnetic coupling can be of the double-walled type. The double wall serves heating the coupling can. The double-walled containment shell can be provided with a leakage-monitoring system for particularly critical processes. The containment shell is filled with inert gas, in order to detect damage. If this gas escapes to the inside or outside, depending upon which wall is damaged, a pressure sensor will trigger an alarm. Because one wall of the double-walled containment shell is still intact, the possibility of the hazardous medium being conveyed leaking into the environment will be eliminated.
A particular highlight of the WITTE - Magnetic Coupling is the inner magnetic rotor's separate bearing. This ensures that only torque is transferred to the pump's drive shaft. The relatively heavy weight of the inner rotor is taken up by this bearing, thus relieving the pump's bearings.
WITTE's flange bearing design offers the additional advantage of preventing the inner totor from touching and damaging the containment shell. In competitor´s design it is possible for the inner rotor to touch the containment shell after pump bearings wear. Our design provides the safty of an additional bearing to insure the inner rotor can not touch the containment shell.
