The Iwaki SMX self-priming magnetic drive pump adds critical versatility to the Iwaki range with built-in self-priming capability.

The Iwaki SMX & SMX-F series are medium capacity industrial self-priming magnetic drive centrifugal pumps available in two material configurations to cover a wide range of industrial chemicals. The SMX series adds versatility to the range by allowing inbuilt self priming capability well suited to underground tanks or suction lifts.

Materials
Glass filled polypropylene wetted parts with ceramic shaft & high density carbon bearings. SMX-F, for stronger chemicals, carbonfibre reinforced ETFE fluoropolymer and alumina ceramic parts are used for resistance to nearly all industrial chemicals.

Resistance to abnormal or improper operation
All models have Iwaki’s patented Non-Contact System & Self Radiation bearing structure for greatly increased tolerance to improper operation such as short term dry running and cavitation.

Connections
All models have flanged connections as standard.

Capacities
SMX: Five models cover transfer capacities up to 500 litres/minute. Maximum heads are up to 28m.
SMX-F: 8 models cover capacities up to 430 litres/minute & heads up to 25m

Motors
All models are fitted with standard IP66 rated outdoor industrial motors.

Other
Models using carbon bearings have conditional dry run capability.

Iwaki SMX Self-Priming Magnetic Drive Pump — Overview

The Iwaki SMX self-priming magnetic drive pump is a medium capacity industrial sealless centrifugal pump uniquely suited to applications requiring suction lift — such as underground tanks, elevated storage, or flooded suction installations where conventional pumps cannot operate reliably.

Key Features

• Built-In Self-Priming — The SMX magnetic drive pump self-primes without operator intervention, ideal for underground or remote tank installations.
• Two Material Configurations — GFPP (glass filled polypropylene) for standard chemical duty; SMX-F with CFRETFE fluoropolymer for highly corrosive chemical applications.
• Non-Contact Bearing System — Iwaki’s patented bearing structure provides tolerance to dry running during priming cycles.
• IP66 Industrial Motors — Rated for outdoor use in Australian industrial environments.

Applications

The Iwaki SMX self-priming magnetic drive pump is widely used for chemical transfer from underground IBCs and tanks, chemical dosing in water treatment, and industrial process chemical transfer where suction lift is required. Available across Australia with full technical support from Iwaki Pumps Australia.
