Versatile Pumping Solutions for Marine, OEM, and Transport Applications
MP Pumps offers a comprehensive line of self-priming centrifugal pumps, engineered for reliable operation in applications where suction lift and air evacuation are critical. These pumps are designed to automatically evacuate air from the suction line, allowing for continuous priming and fluid transfer without manual intervention.
The FLOMAX® series, one of MP’s flagship product lines, includes over 20 pump models with flow rates reaching up to 750 GPM (170 m³/h). These pumps can lift fluids from depths of up to 25 feet (7.6 meters), making them ideal for industrial, agricultural, marine, OEM, and transportation applications.
Each pump is available as a PumpPak® - a fully assembled and tested pump end - compatible with various drive options including electric motors, hydraulic motors, gas engines, and pedestal-mounted configurations . Standard features include:
- Semi-open dynamically balanced impellers
- Stainless steel fasteners and drive sleeves
- Renewable wear plates
- 316 stainless steel options for corrosive environments
- Double seal configurations for enhanced leak protection
MP Pumps’ self-priming models are built to operate efficiently under varying atmospheric pressures and fluid densities, requiring less power input while maintaining high discharge pressures and head levels. Their robust sealing systems - mechanical seals and double seal options - ensure long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
These pumps are commonly used in:
- Bilge and ballast transfer
- Auxiliary fire systems (USCG-compliant models available)
- Fertilizer and pesticide handling
- Washdown and blending systems
- Bulk fluid transfer and nurse tanks
