FLUX drum and container pumps For every application and industry the right solution Ideal for mobile filling of liquid media FLUX drum and container pumps are suitable for pumping various low-viscosity and also especially aggressive and highly-flammable fluids. The axial-impeller pumps provide a pulsation-free pumping action. Modular design allows different pumps to be driven by the same motor. As a result of their low weight, the pumps can be easily carried from container to container. Easy handling of motor and pump keeps changeover times short. Pumps with and without mechanical seal are available,...

FLUX drum and container pumps Good to know when selecting the pump type The perfect duo FLUX drum pumps operate on the principle of the axial-impeller pumps and provide a pulsation-free pumping action. The motor drives the drive shaft via a coupling. At the end of the drive shaft there is a propeller-like impeller. The impeller must be completely covered with the medium so the pump can work. With the rotation, the medium is axially transferred to the outlet, i.e. parallel to the pump shaft. All pump types can be temporarily operated against closed valve (hand nozzle, ball valve) up to the indicated...

Impellers for the requested delivery rate FLUX offers two different types of impellers. The geometry of the axial impeller provides for small flow losses in circumferential direction, flow is almost completely axial. Used when high flow rates are required at low pressure requirements. The geometry of the semi-axial impellers (Z-version) provides mainly for a flow in circumferential direction. Combined with the pressure ring, the flow is redirected in axial direction. This provides a higher delivery pressure at a lower delivery rate. Semi-axial impellers are used in case of an increased pressure...
