The Flux Barrel Pump Kit for Concentrated Acids comes as a ready-to-use pump kit, complete with a pump, motor, hose and quick action tap. This chemical barrel pump kit is designed for transferring light liquids, including chromic acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid and sodium hypochlorite chemicals, acids and other chemicals up to 600 cP. Typically used to transfer concentrated acids from small containers such as drums and IBCs, this Flux drum pump is easy to dismantle and clean, meaning it can be used for multiple pumping applications.

This acid resistant pump kit comes with a mechanical seal protecting the pump's inner tube against the pumped fluid and preventing cross-contamination. To enhance the chemical drum pump design, this Flux pump kit is supplied in Polyvinylidenfluoride as standard and has a steel core inner tube to provide stability and extend the service life of the mechanical seal when pumping high temperature fluids. Thanks to the aluminium housing with special corrosion-resistant painting and due to the aggressive vapours, the motor of this electric drum pump for chemicals is protected, and the risk of corrosion is limited. This, combined with the optimum barrel emptying ability, makes this acid pump an ideal pumping solution for harsh chemicals and acids.

Features of the Acids Flux Drum Pump:

  • Mechanically sealed pump
  • Supplied with; Hose connection PVDF, Chemical hose DN 19, 2m long, 2 hose clips, Quick action tap PVDF, seal FKM, Compression gland PP
  • Suitable for transferring concentrated acids
  • The unique barrel pump design in PVDF comes complete with a steel cored inner tube to provide stability and extend the service life of the mechanical seal - even at high temperatures
  • Optimum barrel emptying due to unique impellor design
  • Easy to dismantle for cleaning with a minimum of effort
  • Robust motor with aluminium housing and special corrosion-resistant painting
  • F 458 230 volt commutator motor

Thanks to versatile pump design, this chemical barrel pump can be used for a range of applications involving pumping hazardous fluids, including chemicals, alkalis and acids from drum or IBC. This Flux pump benefits from a range of features that offers efficient operation. Here are some of the key benefits you can get when using the acid transferring pump kit:

  • High-quality barrel pump – Flux drum pumps are well known German-made pumps that have been in the market for over 70 years.
  • Quickly disassembled for cleaning – This electric barrel pump kit can be quickly and easily taken apart for cleaning, making it a perfect pumping solution for many industrial applications.
  • Robust design – Flux Barrel Pump Kit for Concentrated Acids have a steel core inner tube to provide stability and extend the service life of the mechanical seal when pumping high temperature fluids.
  • Versatile pumping solution- This acid resistant pump kit is easy to dismantle and clean, meaning it can be used for multiple pumping applications

FAQs

Put most simply, a barrel pump, is a pump connected to an immersion tube that sits within the drum with its motor located outside of the container. The pump draws up the fluid through its immersion tube and is then dispensed via a hose or pipe that is connected to its outlet.

If you have a 1000 litre IBC you will require a 1200mm tube, a 205 litre drum requires a 1000mm and if you have a smaller container 700mm and shorter tubes are available. For larger containers we can offer longer tube sets on specification

If your fluid is prone to crystallisation, then you can use the F310 or F430 models as the pump bearings are protected from wear.

The F425 model is capable of emptying 99.98% of a container's contents. This drum pump is generally selected when the liquid is particularly valuable to minimise waste.

The F426 model is capable of both mixing and pumping the liquid within the container, which is a lower cost solution when compared to a separate mixer and pump.

For liquids with a flashpoint below 50°C, we offer our Stainless Steel F400 models and Viscopower series with ATEX approved motors or Viscoflux Lite EX.

Our range includes both FDA and 3A approved hygienic models. When the viscosity is >1200cP we offer the sanitary Viscopower F570 and F580 models and the Viscoflux Mobile. If <1200cP we typically select the F427, or the F430 food grade version when pumping alcohols or foodstuff with solids.

If you are pumping one liquid or very similar liquids, you can use the F314 or F424 seal-less models, if you are pumping multiple diferent liquids or where cross contamination is not desirable use the F310 or F430 drum pumps.

To ensure you get the correct Flux spare parts, we need to identify the exact Flux pump model you have. Please provide the model and serial number found on the pump name plate.

Castle Pumps can supply all Flux pump parts detailed on the spare parts list including motor, o-ring, shaft seal, impeller, inner and outer tube worldwide.

If you are pumping one liquid or very similar liquids, you can use the F314 or F424 seal-less models provided that the materials are compatible, if you are pumping multiple diferent liquids or where cross contamination is not desirable use the F310 or F430 drum pumps.

The general rule of thumb is that for low-medium duty applications where viscosity is <250cP the F300 is sufficient. For heavy duty applications, flammable liquids and viscosities of <1200cP choose the F400. For shear sensitive fluids or viscosities that exceed 1200cP then the Viscpower is required. Upon disclosure of your application, we can confirm the best solution.

All Flux barrel and IBC pump models are available with additional accessories that we can supply as a kit should you need delivery hose, a trigger nozzle, valves, flow meter and any other fittings.
