Michael Smith Engineers Ltd has launched the TPM magnetic coupled peripheral pump, engineered by Dickow Pumpen
The TPM peripheral pump, also known as a turbine pump, is designed to meet the demanding requirements of industries including oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, aviation, and renewable energy. It operates in a similar way to centrifugal and side-channel pumps, offering the best of both worlds. With its low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) requirements, the TPM pump is ideally suited for applications with limited suction head.
The TPM range can deliver flow rates of up to 17 m³/hr and a maximum differential head of 400 metres. With a design pressure of 40 bar and maximum operating temperature of 300°C, the TPM range is built to ensure reliable performance even under the most challenging conditions.
One notable feature of the pump is its ability to handle liquids with entrained gas, enabling continuous operation even during gas release or temporary air ingress. Additionally, its hermetically sealed design makes it ideally suited to handling toxic, explosive, or environmentally hazardous fluids, ensuring safety and compliance with stringent environmental standards.
David Todd of Michael Smith Engineers said, "‘We are delighted to be able to offer our customers this new pump technology from Dickow Pump, whom we have been in partnership with for almost three decades. We are confident this will be as successful as the rest of the Dickow pump range."
