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 FP 430 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. These heavy-duty pump range is suitable for abrasive products and it can also handle liquids with solid particles with quite low wear on its internals. For high flow rate applications, a 50 mm diameter discharge pump is available capable of doing a max. of 240 l/min. Design Features/Benefits • ATEX (explosion proof) certified for stainless steel and Hastelloy-C versions.• Grease lubricated shaft bearing.• Can handle 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.• PP & PVDF models supplied with steel cored internal tube for added stability (Extra bearing support).• Heavy duty ETFE impellers fitted as standard• Available with electric or air operated motors.• FDA / Food-grade option available• Fast disassembly into two main parts due to screw-on foot component, allowing the pump to be cleaned and maintained with ease.• Tube lengths up to 3000 mm due to having 5 heavy duty bearings providing extra support to the drive shaft.
