Leak-Free Chemical Pumping Starts Here
FTI’s sealless and mag-drive pump designs use powerful rare-earth magnets to transmit torque without mechanical seals—eliminating a common failure point in chemical applications. Built from non-metallic materials like polypropylene, PVDF, and ETFE, these pumps resist corrosion, prevent emissions, and simplify compliance with plant safety standards.
Finish Thompson also leads the market in drum and barrel pumps, offering portable and motorized transfer solutions for acids, solvents, and industrial chemicals.

What Is a Non-Metallic Mag-Drive Pump?
A non-metallic mag-drive pump is a sealless centrifugal pump that uses magnetically coupled drive technology to eliminate the need for mechanical seals. This design ensures leak-free, low-maintenance operation, making it ideal for handling corrosive, aggressive, or hazardous chemicals. Constructed from plastics like polypropylene or PVDF, these pumps resist chemical attack and are safer to operate in critical environments.
