DESCRIPTION

Viscoflux Lite

The Viscoflux Lite is the latest addition to the Flux progressive cavity range designed for high-viscosity substances which would normally be difficult to transfer from ISO drums and containers. Just like other pumps within the Flux line-up, the Lite leaves less than 1% of substances left in a drum.


Ease of use and intuitive design has become a staple of the Flux range and that is no different with the Viscoflux Lite. The unit is easily maintained and cleaned and due to the design of the unit it can be used in low ceiling rooms, with the mobility of the pump increasing efficiency even more.


How the Viscoflux Lite works is down to its three main components, the worm-drive pump with motor, centring plate and follower plate. The steps to use are easy followed and require little training, firstly the follower plate with seal is placed within the container being emptied, after which the centring plate is placed followed by the pump through the plates ready to begin operation. The follower plate is then pushed down within the container which decreases the residue left. The whole process is quick to install, easy to clean and requires minimal training.

Features:

- Less than 1% residue

- Transfer higher-viscosity substances

- Mobile for easy transport and efficiency

- ATEX versions available

- Fast cleaning and easy maintenance

- Low installation height, usable in low ceiling rooms

- Large range of accessories for adaptations

- Customised solution

FAQS

The standard tubeset lengths are 700 mm for smaller containers - 25 litre jerry cans, 100 litre tanks etc, 1000 mm for 205 litre drums and 1200 mm for IBC's. Other bespoke lengths are available on request.
Firstly, always check the compatibility of the materials available against the fluid being pumped. The main materials to check are the tubeset, impeller, mechanical seal and o-ring. It may be that more than one material is suitable for your fluid and selection could be based on the application type. For instance; PP, PVDF, Stainless steel and aluminium are all suitable for water. If it is a simple transfer application, then the most cost-effective material will be best. However, if it involves another variable to consider such as high temperature, then an alternative material may be a better selection.
There are various motor types, including; air motor, mains powered electric and battery. Selection is either a personal preference or due to site limitations. For instance, if mains power or an air compressor are not available on site, then a battery motor is the obvious choice. The power of the motor will be down to the application details, such as viscosity and flow rate required. An Atex motor will be required if the fluid is flammable or if the pump will be installed in a hazardous area.
A mechanically sealed pump is recommended for abrasive, crystallizing, sticky and high temperature fluids. A sealless type pump is be recommended for all other fluid types.
ATEX is an abbreviation of “Atmospheres Explosibles”. It is a regulation set out by the European Union to ensure the safety of products that are used to handle flammable products or are installed in environments containing flammable gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts. For instance, if the pump is being installed in an explosive environment, then only the motor needs to meet the Atex standard stopping it from causing a spark during operation and igniting the atmosphere. However, if the fluid being pumped is flammable, then the pump will also need to meet Atex standards to ensure that no sparks are caused inside the pump itself when the fluid goes through it. It is crucial that an Atex rated pump or motor are used for applications involving explosive environments or flammable fluids, using a non-Atex pump or motor in these situations is extremely dangerous and contravenes health and safety standards.
