Drum and Container pumps Series 400 – for low-viscosity media

About FLUX FLUX pump technology – the right solution even for demanding fluids One brand. One promise. The FLUX name has been synonymous with pump technology for more than 60 years. It was the invention of the electric drum pump that sparked it all off. In the meantime, of course, the technology has become more sophisticated. FLUX company innovations have markedly improved working routines for filling and transferring fluids. It is often said that medium-sized companies are the engines of progress. We would be pleased if our family business were able to substantiate this claim. When you...

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...

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...

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...

Can be taken apart completely Special container pump For dry installation / for higher delivery heads horizontal use Container pump for dry installation / horizontal use on IBC High hygiene requirements in foods, cosmetics and pharmacy Used as process pump in industry, surface technology and water treatment Can be used universally, ideal for conveying out of containers with low level outlet in confined places Especially for emptying IBCs in confined places Sealless in the liquid area With mechanical seal With mechanical seal With mechanical seal Stainless steel Stainless steel,...

F/FP 430 With mechanical seal The universal F/FP 430 pump can be used for various media and is suitable for conveying out of drums, IBCs or tanks. Due to the construction with mechanical seal, the pump can be easily and quickly taken apart into its two main components. This allows good cleanability. Distinct feature, only at FLUX: The inner tube is reinforced with a metal core on plastic models (PP and PVDF). This always allows full function of the mechanical seal. This way, leakage and unnecessary wear are prevented for the complete operating temperature range. Furthermore, it provides...
