The Flux F560 GS Eccentric Worm Drive Barrel Pump with planetary gear is designed for sanitary applications, including food processing, cosmetic manufacturing and the pharmaceutical market. This food grade drum pump is recommended for transferring viscous liquids up to 30,000 mPas (cP) from a drum or IBC. Thanks to being easily stripped down, cleaned and/or sterilised with minimum effort, this Flux food transfer pump is compliant with hygienic regulations. Suitable for shear sensitive liquids, this high viscosity pump has a progressive cavity design that provides transfer at constant pressure, ensuring pulsation-free, low shear pumping with little disturbance to the pumped product. The F560GS stainless steel barrel pump is FDA approved, and there are models available with 3A certificate and ATEX certificates.

This sanitary drum pump is lightweight and can be used both for stationary and mobile applications that requires moving the pump between drums and IBCs.

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.
