Product Description
FTI UCR Series ANSI Sealless Pumps
The FTI UCR Series ANSI Sealless Pumps are heavy-duty magnetic-drive centrifugal pumps engineered for demanding chemical-processing applications. Therefore, the range eliminates the conventional mechanical shaft seal while providing ANSI-dimensional installation compatibility.
Its ductile-iron casing is protected by pure, unfilled ETFE lining. Moreover, the containment barrier and inner magnets are encapsulated in ETFE to improve resistance against aggressive and permeating chemicals.
UCR Magnetic-Drive Pump Technology
A magnetic-drive pump transfers motor power through a containment barrier without a shaft passing through the pump casing. Consequently, the design does not require a dynamic mechanical seal.
This sealless arrangement helps reduce potential leakage points when handling corrosive or hazardous liquids. Moreover, powerful neodymium magnets transmit torque to the internal impeller assembly.
Therefore, the UCR range supports dependable chemical containment when properly selected, installed and operated.
Key Features
The Finish Thompson UCR pump range provides:
- Sealless magnetic-drive centrifugal construction

- NEMA, IEC, bearing-frame and gas-engine arrangements
Together, these features allow the FTI UCR Series ANSI Sealless Pumps to serve chemical duties ranging from smaller transfer systems to high-capacity industrial processes.
ETFE-Lined Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Finish Thompson uses pure, unfilled ETFE for the housing lining, containment barrier and magnet encapsulation.
Unlike filled fluoropolymers, pure ETFE avoids exposing reinforcing fillers to the process liquid. Consequently, it provides dependable chemical resistance for suitable acids, bases, oxidisers and corrosive blends.
Meanwhile, the external ductile-iron casing provides mechanical strength and pressure capability. Therefore, the pump combines a robust metal structure with a chemically resistant internal lining.
Shaft and Bushing Design
The UCR magnetic-drive pump uses a fully supported, single-geometry shaft with dual bushings. Moreover, Finish Thompson designed the hydraulic assembly to produce low radial loads and controlled axial thrust.
As a result, the shaft and bushings remain correctly aligned during operation. Consequently, this design can reduce premature internal wear and support longer service intervals.
Available shaft and bushing materials include:
- Carbon
- Silicon carbide
- DLC Dri-Coat silicon carbide
The appropriate material depends on the selected model, chemical and operating conditions.
ANSI-Dimensional Installation
The FTI UCR Series ANSI Sealless Pumps follow recognised ANSI dimensional standards. Therefore, engineers can incorporate them into standard process-pump layouts using established nozzle locations, mounting dimensions and flange arrangements.
Connection options include:
- ANSI 150-pound flanges
- ANSI 300-pound flanges
- ISO PN40 flanges
Moreover, available motor arrangements include NEMA frames from 143 to 405 and IEC frames from 90 to 280. Bearing-frame and gas-engine configurations are also available on suitable models.
UCR Series Performance Range
The complete range covers flows from approximately 0.3 to 329 m³/h. Meanwhile, selected models develop heads up to 150 metres.
For example, the UCR1516 provides flows up to 29.8 m³/h and heads up to 55 metres. In contrast, the larger UCR6410 delivers up to 329 m³/h.
Therefore, users must select the exact pump according to the required system duty rather than applying the maximum series figures to every model.
Chemical-Processing Applications in India
The UCR pump range may support demanding applications across India, including:
- Chemical processing
- Metal manufacturing
- Mining operations
- Metal plating
- Fume-scrubber systems
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Corrosive wastewater duties
- Industrial chemical circulation
- Acid and alkali transfer
- Chemical unloading and process feed
Typical compatible liquids may include sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite.
However, chemical concentration, temperature, solids content and possible reactions must be reviewed before final selection.
Selecting the Correct FTI UCR Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Required flow and total dynamic head
- Chemical name and concentration
- Liquid temperature
- Viscosity and specific gravity
- Solids content
- Available NPSH
- Required flange standard
- Shaft and bushing materials
- Motor power and speed
- Hazardous-area certification
Therefore, users should configure the pump around the complete chemical and hydraulic duty. Otherwise, incorrect material or operating-point selection may cause cavitation, internal wear, reduced performance or premature failure.
