Debem MB 100 Horizontal Chemical Centrifugal Pump

Description

A horizontal chemical pump with lip or bellows seal for dirty fluids

The MB 100 is a horizontal close-coupled centrifugal pump in polypropylene or PVDF from the Debem MB series, which covers 6 to 75 m3/h. It uses an open impeller so that it can handle dirty liquids with apparent viscosity up to 500 cps and small suspended solids, and the buyer chooses between a lip seal (TL) and a mechanical bellows seal (TS). The MB 100 delivers up to 9 m3/h at 12 m head through 1 1/2 inch suction and 1 inch delivery ports.

Decoding the order code

The MB manual prints a code such as MB 100 P-TLV N. Read it as the model (MB 80 to MB 180), the body material (P for polypropylene, EC for PVDF), the seal and elastomer (TLV lip seal with Viton, TLD lip seal with EPDM, TSV bellows with Viton, TSD bellows with EPDM) and the motor (N three-phase, M single-phase, A ATEX). The manual recommends the pump for liquids with apparent viscosity of 1 to 500 cps that are chemically compatible with the wetted materials, and it is installed under head, with the suction below liquid level, so that the pump is primed before it starts.

Choosing the seal and installing

Lip seals suit clean, cooler duties at low cost; the bellows seal is the better choice for tougher liquids and fluctuating conditions, but check the seal faces for abrasion and crystallising fluids. The manual limits fluid temperature to 65 C for polypropylene and 95 C for PVDF in service, and calls for a protective device when ambient and fluid temperature may approach those limits. Piping should be self-supported, the suction line short with a shut-off valve, and the motor direction of rotation verified before the first start. The manual designs the pump for a maximum speed of 2900 rpm in direct drive with a motor that has a rear axial compensator for thermal expansion, and it asks for installation under head with precautions to avoid vortices at the suction, which would draw air into the casing. When the fluid is aggressive or crystallising, rinse the pump before long shutdowns.

About brand

Debem is an Italian manufacturer of industrial pumps, making pumps for industry since 1982 at Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. It designs and builds its pumps in-house in Italy, holds the patents for its technology, and specialises in transferring corrosive, abrasive and difficult fluids. Its best-known products are the BOXER and CUBIC air-operated double diaphragm pumps.

Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list Debem pumps for chemical, water treatment and industrial users in Oman and the GCC.

Debem company profile

Founded 1982, Italy
Headquarters Busto Arsizio, Varese, Italy
Manufacturing Designed and built in-house in Italy

Debem product series

Air-operated diaphragm pumps include the Boxer 50, 100, 252 (AISI 316) and the large Boxer 522, and the compact Cubic 15. The Equaflux 100 pulsation damper smooths the discharge flow of diaphragm pumps. The TRA drum pump in AISI 316 empties drums and containers.

Centrifugal pumps include the KM 70 and DM 30 magnetic drive pumps without shaft seal, the MB 100 horizontal chemical pump and the IM 110 vertical immersed pump for tanks and sumps. ATEX versions are listed for explosive atmospheres.

Where Debem pumps are used

Chemical transfer and dosing, water and wastewater treatment, paints and inks, sludge and slurries, tank unloading, and acid and caustic handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the flow and head of the MB 100?
Up to 9 m3/h and 12 m head, with a 0.55 kW standard motor and open impeller of 97 mm diameter.
Which seals can be chosen?
A lip seal (TL) or a mechanical bellows seal (TS), with Viton or EPDM elastomers in the order code.
What solids and viscosity can it pump?
Solids up to 7 mm and apparent viscosity up to 500 cps at 20 C, if the liquid is compatible with the wetted materials.
Is the MB 100 self-priming?
No. The manual calls for installation under head so the pump is primed before starting.
What are the temperature limits?
The datasheet gives 0 to 70 C for polypropylene and -10 to 100 C for PVDF; the manual limits service fluid to 65 C and 95 C respectively.
