Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Magmo Massecuite Pumps are positive displacement pumps designed primarily for handling high viscosity abrasive sugar products like Massecuite, Magma, and Molasses. These pumps are manufactured by Plenty Mirrlees Pumps and have been in production for over 30 years.

Principle of Operation
The pump operates using an elliptical rotor within a cylindrical housing. The medium is trapped in cavities between the rotor and housing, carried from suction to discharge. A spring-loaded sealing arm scrapes the medium into the discharge, assisted by discharge pressure above 2 bar g.

Bearing & Sealing Arrangement
The bearing and sealing arrangement is designed to minimize wear and leakage. It features inner and outer bearing sections, with the inner section separating the liquid and grease. Contaminated grease is flushed out and replaced with fresh grease to prevent premature wear.

Features and Benefits
  • Gentle pumping action minimizes sugar crystal damage.
  • Large suction port eliminates cavitation and allows higher speeds.
  • Grease-packed bearings extend pump life and prevent leakage.
  • Replaceable parts reduce maintenance costs.
  • Shear pin coupling and belt drive prevent damage from obstructions.

Operating Parameters
Magmo pumps operate with a flow range of 1.2m3/hr to 56m3/hr, speeds from 10 rpm to 50 rpm, and discharge pressure up to 7.0 bar g. They can handle unlimited viscosity.

Materials of Construction
Standard construction includes cast iron casing and rotor, ductile iron sealing arm and shaft, bronze bearing bushes, and mechanical seals. Options include stainless steel shafts and bronze rotors.

MAGMO MASSECUITE PUMPS-2

MAGMO MASSECUITE PUMPS The Magmo pump is a positive displacement pump which uses the ‚elipse and scraper’ pumping principle. The basic design was originally conceived by the Sugar Industry itself, and Plenty Mirrlees Pumps have been manufacturing this type of pump for over 30 years. Magmo pumps are designed principally to handle high viscosity abrasive sugar products that contain sugar crystals, such as Massecuite, Magma and Molasses. The design ensures that the Sugar crystals contained within the liquids are not damaged by the pumping action, and that the pump is subjected to minimum wear. Magmo...

MAGMO MASSECUITE PUMPS-3

The grease in the bearing will slowly become contaminated over time by the pumped medium. This contaminated grease must be replaced by fresh grease to avoid premature bearing wear. Re-greasing the bearing is a flushing operation. Fresh grease is introduced through a grease nipple at the outer end of the bearing, displacing the old contaminated grease along the grooves and through a drain valve at the inner end. The drain valve is simply interlocked to the grease nipple to ensure that both are open during greasing. This Magmo pump for the purpose of recirculating Massecuite to a Vertical Crystallizer....
