Magnatex Pumps, Inc. was founded in 1985 in Houston, Texas by Dave Bullen who had previously founded Bullen Pump and Equipment in 1979. In 1985 the concept of using heavy duty magnetic drive, seal less pumps in the process industries was just starting to gain traction in the USA These close-coupled, magnetically driven, sealless centrifugal pumps feature rare earth Neodymium magnets for synchronous drive with no slippage and less internal heat than other mag-drive pumps.

The close-coupled design of the MP/MPL Pumps saves space, eliminates alignment problems, and reduces installation costs. These high-efficiency pumps require lower horsepower and lower NPSH than competitive pumps. Other proven benefits include longer MTBR and lower total cost of ownership.

MPL/MHL Series Pumps

Magnetic Drive Pumps

• Mag drive sealless pumps eliminate the need for expensive mechanical seals; eliminating costly shutdowns and repairs, which helps reduce “Reportable Release” issues.
• No maintenance intensive mechanical seals required. No seal flush or complex and expensive seal pot systems to monitor or maintain.
• Optional SiC-X bearing system for enhanced dry running capability
• Straddle-mounted, double bearing design reduces shaft load and bearing wear when compared to our competitors’ typical cantilevered, overhung designs
• Slip-fit construction allows easy maintenance and on-site repairs with no special tools required
• Close-coupled configuration eliminates coupling and motor alignment issues
• Handles toxic, noxious and corrosive liquids for leak-free pumping with increased safety to plant personnel and the environment
• Optional high temperature construction to handle up to 660°F
• Optional baffled rear casing design for enhanced solids handling
• Large internal flow path handles solids: 1% at 500µ; 8% at 100µ

The MP/MPL Pumps are used in a wide range of corrosive and toxic applications industries including chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, refinery, food, beverage, pulp and paper, textile, and power generation.
