Flux Drum & IBC's Pump Kit for Universal Applications

FLUX Drum & IBC's Pump Kit for Universal Applications Flow RateUp to 240 l/minDischarge HeadUp to 13 mwcExternal Tube Diameter 41 mmImmersion Length1000, 1200 mmViscosity<1 - 800 cPsFluid Temperature0 - °C (0 - 40 °C for ATEX applications)Pump Tube Materials (External)Stainless Steel AISI 316Drive OptionsF 460 EX Commutator Motor or F 416 Ex Compressed-Air Motor 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, 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, litre tanks etc. This FLUX drum & IBC emptying pump kit is supplied as a complete pump set containing a Flux 430 S-41/38 in stainless steel, discharge hose, stainless steel hand nozzle, PP compression gland and either a Flux F 460 Ex, 230V-50Hz-460Watt motor suitable for viscosities up to 600 cPs or a compressed air driven motor (F 416 Ex 460 watt - 6 bar) capable of handling a max. viscosity of 800 cPs. This pump kit is ATEX (explosion proof) certified suitable for Zoned (non-safe/hazardous) and highly flammable liquids, solvents and fuels in general, this versatile pump kit is available in 1000 mm, designed for 200 litre drums and 1200 mm for IBC type containers. Design Features/Benefits • Grease lubricated shaft bearing.• Can handle small solid particles and abrasives whilst having minimal wear.• Can be used with a hand nozzle or pump against a close valve. (Only Temporarily)• Mechanically sealed - prevents any liquid entering the internal tube section.• Supplied with steel cored internal tube for added stability (Extra bearing support).• Heavy duty ETFE impellers fitted as standard• Fast disassembly into two main parts due to screw-on foot component, allowing the pump to be cleaned and maintained with ease.
