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. The MINIFLUX pump kit comes with an electric 230V, 50Hz, 500W commutator motor, 2 metres of DN19 PVC hose and polypropylene hand nozzle as standard this extremely compact pump kit is designed for emptying IBC's with floor level openings/discharge ports, manufactured in stainless steel this particular unit is ideal for installations with height restrictions where there is not enough space to fit a standard pump on the top of the IBC, the MINIFLUX is typically used for transferring thin fluids as well as flammable liquids at low pressures, (13 metre water column), this pump is also ATEX (II 2G c IIB TX) certified.
