RANGE OF FTI DRUM PUMPS
All Pumps is the sole importer and distributor of FTI pumps, spares and accessories in Australia,
ensuring fast delivery, specialised service and professional after-sales support.
MAGNETIC DRIVE PUMP
The magnetic drive pump range consists of seal-less pumps in the DB, SP & UC categories – details below.
All Pumps has extensive knowledge in supplying and servicing magnetic drive pumps such as FTI, which All Pumps is the sole importer and distributor.
A magnetic drive pump uses a balanced magnetic field to create the rotation of the fluid impeller. Unlike a traditional centrifugal pump which has a direct drive connection between impeller and motor, a mag-drive pump eliminates the direct drive mechanism and replaces it with a magnetic field.
Finish Thompson (FTI) manufactures a range of magnetic drive centrifugal pumps. From its beginning in 1951 as a designer and builder of custom decorating equipment, to its current position as a leading supplier of fluid transfer pumps and recycling systems for the fluid handling and environmental markets, Finish Thompson has proven to be highly intuitive in projecting and reacting to changing market demands.
FTI centrifugal pumps are constructed from rugged, corrosion-resistant materials including heavy gauge stainless steel and plastics specifically engineered for maximum corrosion resistance. Pumps are available in either vertical or horizontal configurations, either mechanically sealed or magnetically coupled for seal-less operation. Mag drive pumps feature high-powered, rare earth magnetic couplings that allow the transmission of maximum horsepower.

Seal-less, self-priming, plastic, horizontal
FTI’s SP Series Magnetic Drive Self-Priming Pumps are the product of advanced engineering CFD design software and superior magnetic flux technology. The SP Series combines deep-lift capabilities and lightning-fast priming with the advantages of neodymium magnetic drive technology and corrosion resistant polypropylene and PVDF to handle the most difficult applications with no seal replacement, no leaks and the capability to run-dry without damage.
Powerful – The SP’s careful engineering resulted in a unique design that allows it to create a powerful, deep vacuum in the suction piping. This allows it to lift fluid from as deep as 25 feet (7.6 m) below the pump. Superior lift and high working pressure capabilities allow SP Series to pump high specific gravity fluids like sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and sodium and potassium hydroxide with ease.
Fast – SP Series is capable of lifting fluids from 18 feet (5.5 m) in less than 90 seconds. Less time waiting, more time pumping.
Versatile – The priming ability of the SP Series allows the pumps to handle applications difficult for standard centrifugal pumps. Such applications include pumping fluid from below grade, emptying tanker trucks or rail cars, and transferring fluids from the top of tall bulk storage tanks to reduce the possibility of leaks from sidewall mounted bulkhead fittings.
Economical – SP Series are extremely efficient in their use of energy. They offer tremendous savings compared to self-priming AOD (air operated double diaphragm) pumps. SP Series use only a fraction of the energy AOD pumps require.
Run dry ability – Run dry ability helps protect the pump from system upset or operator error. Eliminates costly repairs and downtime.
Best warranty – Careful attention to detail results in a mag drive pump that is the most reliable and efficient on the market, offering five years of peace of mind.
Best corrosion resistance – Durably moulded from corrosion resistant polypropylene or PVDF, the SP Series handles the most corrosive chemicals with ease. Prevents downtime due to pump corrosion problems.
