The Flux F560TR Eccentric Worm Drive Barrel Pump is a horizontal food transfer pump designed for pumping viscous fluids, even pasty substances up to 50,000 CP from a barrel or IBC containers that is not accessible from the top. The wide viscosity range of this food grade drum pump makes it a versatile solution for many applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Due to the progressive cavity style design, the sanitary barrel pump by Flux, provides smooth flow at constant pressure, ensuring little disruption to the pumped fluid. This makes it a preferable choice for handling shear sensitive fluids.

Equipped with a robust bearing flange between the motor and the shaft that provides additional support, this high viscosity barrel pump has excellent performance and extended service life. The advanced design features of the F560TR food grade drum pump mean that there are no hidden voids or inaccessible parts. This, combined with the special shaft design that allows reversible flow operations and the ability to disassemble easily, allows the Flux drum pump to be easily cleaned and/or sterilised with minimum effort, ensuring compliance with the hygienic regulations. FDA compliant, this stainless steel barrel pump has a comprehensive modular construction system to limit any potential cross contamination.

The F560TR high viscosity electric drum pump is a versatile pumping solution. This Flux sanitary pump can be used in fixed installations and as a portable pumping solution. The electric drum pump can be mounted on a trolley or a console that can be easily moved between drums and IBCs. Another benefit is that this Flux pump can be adjusted individually based on the media's characteristics to provide efficient operation. Available with either a 3 phase electric or compressed air motor, the Flux F560TR food safe pump can also be supplied with ATEX certification for flammable fluids and environments.

Features of the F560TR Flux Drum Pump:

  • Sanitary drum pump for dispensing low to high viscosity products (up to 80,000cP)
  • Ideal for emptying drums and IBCs which are not accessible from above
  • Advanced hygienic pump design without any inaccessible or hidden voids.
  • Compressed air or electric motor options
  • Smooth pumping action with little turbulence to the pumped product.
  • Suitable for shear-sensitive media
  • Outer diameter of the pump tube 50 or 54mm.
  • Closed mechanical seal of easy cleanability
  • Food safe FDA compliant
  • Versions with anti-clockwise/clockwise operation
  • A special shaft design allows reversible flow operations
  • Flow rate adjustable (in combination with frequency-controlled three-phase motor)
  • Pump can be easily dismantled and cleaned
  • Models available with ATEX certification
  • Different stator materials are available: PTFE, NBR black, NBR white, FKM

This Flux pump is a perfect food processing pump solution for transferring high viscosity liquids from a drum or IBC, which are not accessible from above. The food grade drum pump is FDA approved and can be supplied with ATEX certification for flammable fluids and environments.

  • High-quality barrel pump – Flux pumps are well known German-made barrel pumps that have been in the market for over 70 years.
  • Quickly disassembly for sterilisation – The F560TR stainless steel barrel pump can be quickly and easily taken apart for cleaning, and all elements in contact with the liquid can be sterilised.
  • Easy to move - Due to its lightweight design, this drum pump can be easily moved between barrels and IBCs. The electric drum pump can be mounted on a trolley or a console.
  • Wide viscosity range - The F560TR can handle both low and high viscosity fluids up to 50,000cP, making it an ideal solution for transferring even barely moving fluids.
  • Suitable for shear-sensitive liquids - This sanitary drum pump has smooth flow at constant pressure offering low shear, pulsation-free liquid transfer.
  • Approved for hygienic applications – Flux F560GS high viscosity barrel pump is FDA approved and has a sanitary design, meaning it is a suitable food processing pump, and for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals applications.
  • Versatile pumping solution - This electric drum pump can be supplied with a three-phase motor or FPM compressed-air motors. In addition, the stator of the F550TR barrel pump can be supplied in various materials, ensuring that the pump can be used in multiple applications.

The Flux F560TR food grade pump is made of stainless steel and can be easily stripped down to clean and sterilise components to prevent bacteria growth. It is also FDA approved, meaning it is appropriate as a food processing pump and for hygienic applications. where viscous, shear-sensitive fluids are handled.

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.
