The Flux Barrel Pump Kit for universal applications comes as ready to used pump kit, complete with the F430 pump in stainless steel, motor, universal hose, quick action tap and compression gland in PP. This electric barrel pump kit is designed for use in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, paint and varnishes industries for transferring various low viscosity fluids. Suitable to transfer range of fluids including abrasive and crystallizing liquids up to 800 cP from small containers, drums and IBCs, the universal drum pump kit leads in our product range due to its versatility and long life in range of industrial applications.

This Flux pump kit is supplied with chemical barrel pump comes with a mechanical seal protecting the pump's inner tube against the pumped fluid, preventing cross-contamination. Thanks to mechanical seal the Flux drum pump kit is also easy to dismantle for cleaning and it can be used for multiple pumping applications. To enhance the pump design, this Flux pump kit is supplied in stainless steel 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. This, combined with the optimum barrel emptying ability, makes this electric barrel pump an ideal pumping solution for handling high-grade/high-value fluids, for example, in the cosmetic industry.

Flux Barrel Pump Kit for Universal Applications is available with the F460 Ex 230V electric motor or the F416 Ex air motor and can be supplied with ATEX certification for use in hazardous areas.

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.
