How the MSP-S 150 N magnetic filter with 16,000 G extended pump service life and stabilized operation (case study)
In one industrial plant, an unpleasant issue kept recurring over the long term: premature damage to the mechanical seal of the secondary pump. The cause was subtle, yet all the more dangerous – metal particles circulating in the piping system (DN 150). They had been generated in the past by cavitation and erosion, and even after the root cause was eliminated, they remained in the system.
Service interventions repeated. Costs increased. And it became clear that the solution had to address the root of the problem.
Why a magnetic filter and not a mechanical one?
A conventional filter would mean clogging, pressure loss, and restricted flow – unacceptable for the given technology. That’s why the choice fell on the MSP-S 150 N magnetic filter, designed for pressurized pipelines and liquid mixtures.
Its main advantages:
- magnetic induction up to 16,000 G – captures even very fine metal particles,
- zero pressure loss,
- cleaning during full operation,
- 5-year warranty and long service life.
Installation and clear proof of performance
The filter was installed directly into the piping system during a planned shutdown. After about one month of operation, an inspection and blowdown/draining were carried out – and the result was unequivocal. The magnetic rods captured a large amount of metallic abrasive particles, as also confirmed by photos of liquid samples in glass sampling bottles after sedimentation.
Result
- significantly lower load on the mechanical seal,
- extended pump service life,
- stable, trouble-free operation,
- fewer service interventions and lower costs.
Conclusion
MSP-S 150 N OCTOPUS magnetic filter showed that if you want to protect your technology without restricting flow, magnetic filtration is the right way to go. Simple solution, strong magnet, calm operation.
