Flux F427 Sanitary Seal-less Barrel Pump

F427 Sanitary Seal-less Barrel Pump

FLUX barrel pumps also called drum pumps are designed for transferring, emptying or dosing must existing fluids, from low to high viscosity products, these pumps are typically used for fluids that are supplied in containers such as 205 litre/45 gallon drums/barrels, 1000 litre containers called IBC's or Intermediate Bulk Container and also smaller containers 25 litre, 100 litre etc. By using a barrel pump we can avoid having to tip up the container in order to emptying it something than can often be quite dangerous and illegal thus using a drum/barrel pump is the safest and more efficient way of extracting liquid from a drum or container as wastage/spillage during the operation is next to nothing.

The pumping action and operation of the barrel pumps is quite simple, the pump tube is inserted into the opening of the container (bunghole) which typically is a 2 inch aperture, once the pump tube is immersed in the liquid the pumping action is done by the rotation of an impeller which is fitted at the bottom of the pump, the rotating impeller pushes the liquid up, towards the pump tube outlet and out of the discharge side of the pump.

There are several pump tube lengths each designed specifically for the various drums and containers available on the market, the most common are 1000 mm for 205 l drums, 1200 mm for IBC's and 700 mm for smaller containers - 25 litre jerry cans, 100 litre tanks etc.

The FLUX F427 pump range is available with a variety of hygienic connections, (1 1/2” Tri-clamp or RD 58x1/6), there is also a vast range of electric and air motors available in both single and 3-phase, these pumps can also be supplied as a complete pump kit containing a discharge hose, hand nozzle and compression glands depending on the specific model, carrying handles, fume glands and foot strainers are also available upon request. These sanitary pump range has been specifically developed for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, the Flux F427 food-grade pump is available with FDA and 3A certification which means this sanitary pump complies with the highest European and American hygienic standards, these pumps can also handle low viscosity food products with small solid particles i.e. spices within soups, pulp juice etc.
