SMX-F IWAKI Magnetic drive centrifugal pump

High chemical resistance combined with the best properties against abnormal operation

The SMX-F is a horizontal self-priming magnetic drive pump made of fluoroplastics. Our unique self-cooling design (patented) improves resistance to dry running, cavitation or operation against closed discharge valves. The application range is extended by the use of standard motors.

Individual configurations according to customer requirements

Excellent resistance

Housing, impeller and magnet capsule are made of fluoroplastic (CFRETFE). The other wetted parts are made of highly corrosion-resistant materials such as carbon, ceramics and the like. Thus the pumps can be used with almost all chemicals, including concentrated acids and alkalis.

Extended application flexibility

Due to the modular design of the SMX-F, media with a higher specific weight can be pumped. The use of standard motors extends the range of applications.

Easy maintenance

The wetted parts can be removed as a complete unit thanks to the additional rear housing bracket. To enable easy maintenance.

Improved resistance to the most difficult operating conditions 

Our unique self-cooling design (patented) efficiently dissipates the frictional heat of the bearing to protect the pump under the most difficult operating conditions. In addition, the non-contact system between the rear ring and bearing prevents excessive heat generation during dry running. 

Fast self-priming

The SMX pumps do not require additional external suction chambers or valves. The separation design for separating air and medium ensures fast priming. This allows up to 4 m suction height in only 90 seconds. 

Rear housing bracket

By removing the 4 screws, the wet unit can be easily removed from the pump body.  The rear housing bracket thus guarantees easy maintenance as well as problem-free draining of the pump. 



Delivery from underground tank

  • Underground tank or pit of a waste factory.

Filling/emptying of tank trucks 

  • Conveying of etching and electroplating chemicals from the chemical bath

  • Emptying of chemical tank trucks

  • Filling of chemical tank trucks.

Transport of chemicals from tank to tank

  • Delivery from main tank to consumption tank

  • Refilling from barrel to tank.

1. Fill the pump with the medium

2. when the pump is started, medium and air are sucked into the front chamber A and mixed by the impeller. This mixture is conveyed from the pump chamber Bin to the delivery chamber C, where the air is separated from the medium. The air escapes through the discharge side D while the medium remains in the suction chamber. Medium flows from the pump chamber C through the circulation hole E back to the front chamber, where it is again mixed with air by the impeller. This process is repeated until the air has been completely eliminated on the suction side F.

3. Once the air has been evacuated, the pump operates in "normal" mode. After a pump stop, there is always sufficient medium remaining in the suction chamber, so that self-priming can be resumed without any problems.
