Reverse Engineered Spare Parts for PFA-Lined Magnetic Drive Pumps

Impellers, Containment Shells, Glide Bearings, and Shafts—Engineered to Your Requirements

n GFT9, somos expertos líderes en el revestimiento de PFA, especializados en la fabricación de válvulas, filtros y piezas personalizadas con revestimiento de PFA. Pero nuestra experiencia va más allá. Al combinar el moldeo por inyección de PFA con la fabricación de precisión, ofrecemos una amplia gama de repuestos de bombas con revestimiento de PFA.

Nuestro catálogo incluye impulsores, cojinetes lisos, carcasas de contención y ejes de bomba, todos compatibles con las bombas magnéticas Richter MNK. Gracias a la ingeniería inversa, desarrollada en cooperación con un cliente, hemos ampliado nuestra experiencia en estas piezas. Nuestra experiencia previa en la construcción de bombas con revestimiento de PFA ha sentado las bases para la fabricación rápida y precisa de estos componentes esenciales de bomba. También esperamos lanzar nuestra propia serie de bombas GFT en 2025—contáctenos para más información.

We manufacture reverse-engineered spare parts for PFA-lined magnetic drive pumps. Our experience includes components compatible with MNK-type, SCK-type, and similar ISO/DIN standard pump designs.

  • Impulsores:

    Diseñados para una transferencia de fluidos eficiente, reduciendo el riesgo de cavitación y desgaste. Nuestros impulsores revestidos de PFA resisten la corrosión química y ofrecen una durabilidad mejorada en aplicaciones de alta presión.

  • Cojinetes lisos:

    Estos cojinetes soportan el eje del impulsor, garantizando una rotación suave. Diseñados para manejar cargas elevadas y reducir la fricción, son propensos al desgaste cuando se operan en entornos abrasivos, lo que los convierte en un repuesto esencial.

    View Glide Bearings Range 

  • Carcasas de contención:

    Actuando como una barrera para garantizar un funcionamiento sin fugas, las carcasas de contención son fundamentales en las bombas magnéticas. Nuestras carcasas están diseñadas para soportar altas presiones y resistir productos químicos, previniendo fugas incluso en condiciones extremas.

    View Containment Shell Range 

  • Ejes de bomba:

    Los ejes garantizan la transmisión de torque sin contacto mecánico directo. Fabricados con alta precisión, nuestros ejes revestidos de PFA están diseñados para resistir la exposición química y mantener la alineación adecuada incluso en condiciones operativas desafiantes.

Wear and Tear in Magnetic Drive Pumps

Chemical pumps, especially magnetic drive pumps (mag drive pumps) are vital for industries handling corrosive chemicals and high-temperature applications. These pumps use magnetic coupling to eliminate the need for seals, reducing leakage risks. However, wear and tear can significantly affect their lifespan, especially when lined with PFA for chemical protection. Frequent wear occurs in critical components such as impellers, glide bearings, containment shells, and shafts.

Key Reasons for Wear:

Running dry: This can cause the impeller and glide bearings to overheat, leading to expansion and permanent damage.

Solid particulates: Abrasive particles within the fluid can erode containment shells and glide bearings, causing degradation over time.

Permeation: Over time, certain aggressive substances can diffuse through the PFA lining, particularly under high temperatures and pressures, leading to degradation of the underlying metal components such as containment shells.

Thermal cycling: Repeated exposure to extreme temperature changes causes material fatigue, leading to micro-cracks and eventual failure of parts like containment shells and shafts.

Compatible with Leading Magnetic Drive Pump Designs

GFT9 has reverse-engineered spare parts for pumps originally manufactured to ISO/DIN standards by major European suppliers. Our experience includes:

MNK-Type Magnetic Drive Pumps:

These heavy-duty lined mag-drive pumps are widely installed in chemical plants handling corrosive acids, chlor-alkali processes, and high-purity applications. We manufacture compatible:
• Impellers (closed design with back vanes)
• Double containment shell systems (PTFE inner shell, CFK outer shell)
• SSiC glide bearing assemblies
• PFA-lined shafts and rotors

SCK-Type Side Channel Pumps:

Self-priming designs for applications requiring suction lift. We manufacture compatible impellers and containment components.

Block Pump Configurations (MNK-B type):

Close-coupled designs with shared bearing assemblies. Our parts are manufactured to original face-to-face dimensions for direct replacement.

Al elegir a GFT9 para sus repuestos, no solo está reemplazando componentes desgastados, sino que está invirtiendo en calidad superior, diseños mejorados y un rendimiento más duradero. Nuestros clientes suelen buscar liberarse de las limitaciones de los repuestos OEM debido a precios elevados o problemas de disponibilidad. En GFT9, hemos desarrollado alternativas rentables y técnicamente avanzadas, ofreciendo los siguientes beneficios:

Faster Delivery, Better Value

When you choose GFT9 for your spare parts, you aren’t just replacing worn-out components—you’re investing in superior quality, enhanced design, and longer-lasting performance. Our clients often seek to break free from the constraints of OEM spare parts due to high prices or availability issues. At GFT9, we’ve provided cost-effective and technically advanced alternatives, offering the following benefits.

Standard Lead Time:

Typical OEM: 10-20 weeks | GFT9 3-5 weeks

Emergency Delivery:

Typical OEM: Often unavailable | GFT9 1-2 weeks (established parts)

Minimum Order:

Typical OEM: Often required | GFT9: Single pieces welcome

Pricing:

Typical OEM: Premium | GFT9: 30-50% savings typical

Customization

Typical OEM: Limited vs. GFT9 Standard practice

Support:

Typical OEM: Distributor-level | GFT9: Direct engineering access

Our lead time advantage comes from in-house manufacturing. Once we've created tooling for your specific part, repeat orders move quickly through our production system. Many customers establish blanket orders with safety stock held at our facility for immediate dispatch.

For completely new parts requiring tooling development, initial lead times are longer—typically 6-8 weeks including engineering and mold production. Subsequent orders then benefit from the faster standard lead times.

FAQ

  • Q: Are your parts truly compatible with brand-name pumps?

    A: Yes. We reverse engineer from actual pump components or OEM specifications to ensure dimensional compatibility. Many of our customers have been using GFT9 spare parts as replacements for years without issues. That said, we recommend that customers with critical applications discuss their specific requirements with our engineering team before first orders.

  • Q: What information do you need to quote spare parts?

    A: Ideally, the OEM part number or pump model designation. If those aren't available, send us:
    • Physical dimensions (we can work from your measurements)
    • Photos of the existing part• Pump nameplate information
    • Operating conditions (chemical, temperature, pressure)

  • Q: Can you improve on the original design?

    A: Often, yes. Our reverse engineering process includes failure analysis. If your parts are wearing prematurely, we can recommend material upgrades, geometry modifications, or surface treatments to extend service life. This is one of the key advantages of working with an engineering-focused supplier rather than a distributor.

  • Q: What about warranty on aftermarket parts?

    A: GFT9 provides warranty coverage for manufacturing defects. Our parts are inspected and tested before shipment. We also maintain traceability records for material certification when required.

  • Q: Can you integrate with our procurement systems?

    A: Yes. We work with several customers on blanket order arrangements, consignment stock programs, and electronic procurement integration. Our goal is to make reordering as seamless as possible for your maintenance team.
