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 F426 mixer pump is as its name would indicate a pump unit capable of mixing and pumping, this unique barrel pump range has 3 operating settings, (transfer only, transfer with simultaneous mixing and mixing only), all 3 functions being adjustable whilst the pump is in operation. Furthermore, there are two levers for controlling (opening & closing) the mixing ports, mixing openings are designed to allow back flow of the products being pumped and consequently mixing back into the drum/container. These barrel pump range is available with a variety of electric and air motors 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. ATEX (explosion proof) models are also available suitable for Zoned (non-safe/hazardous) areas or applications. Design Features/Benefits • ATEX (explosion proof) certified for stainless steel and Hastelloy-C versions.• Ideal solution for pumping fluids which might settle out over a period of time.• Can be used with a hand nozzle or pump against a close valve. (Only Temporarily)• Mechanically sealed - prevents any liquid or vapour entering the coupling/motor side.• PP Model has steel cored internal tube for added stability.• Available with electric or air operated motors.• Easy to be dismantled and cleaned.• 3 different operating pump settings to choose.• Pump functions can be switch in between whilst in operation.
