DESCRIPTION

Viscoflux Mobile S

The Viscoflux Mobile S is the latest addition to the Flux range designed to be an efficient mobile drum emptying system, that is ideal but not limited to use in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. The pump is capable of handling high-viscosity, paste-like and non-self-flowing substances out of a wide range of drums and containers either with or without aseptic bags and can transfer substances low-shear and continuously.


Similar to the rest of the Flux range, the Mobile S leaves less than 1% of residue left in containers, greatly increasing efficiency and cost savings, whilst also remaining intuitive to operate, maintain and clean further decreasing costs and down-time. The pump can also operate in wet and damp environments with class IP66 certified protection.


The Mobile S is a stand-alone system that can be manoeuvred into position and locked in place allowing for fast operation and set-up. The system contains a process device and pump unit with motor, eccentric worm-drive pump and a follower plate with seal that decreases residue left behind. The pump can be customised fully to meet the specific requirements of any application.

Features:

- Less than 1% residue

- Transfer higher-viscosity substances

- Freewheel mobility for easy transport and efficiency

- Designed for hygienic areas

- Fast cleaning and easy maintenance

- IP66 Class protection

- Capable of emptying containers on floor or pallets

- Customisable for specific applications

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.
