The VISCOPOWER F570 sanitary 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 thin to high viscosity liquids, pastes and creams up to 80,000 mPas (cP) from a drum or IBC. This Flux drum pump can be easily stripped down, cleaned and/or sterilised with minimum effort to ensure compliance with hygienic regulations. Thanks to its comprehensive modular design VISCOPOWER stainless steel barrel pumps can be disassembled in just 30 seconds, allowing quick replacement of components such as screws, stators, motors and seals for simple maintenance and cleaning and to adapt the pump to a range of applications and fluids. This means that the F570 pump is future-proofed for the ever-changing industry needs and you can save time and money investing in pump replacements.
Due to its progressive cavity design, this high viscosity barrel pump provides transfer at constant pressure, ensuring pulsation-free pumping with little disturbance to the pumped product, making it the perfect solution for transferring shear-sensitive media. Design with minimal dead space, the use of a closed mechanical seal and electropolished surfaces, the food grade barrel pump has no hidden voids or inaccessible parts. The F570 stainless steel hygienic 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 application that requires moving the pump between drums and IBCs. The stator of this Flux food grade electric drum pump can be supplied in various materials including NBR white, FKM and PTFE, making it a versatile solution for any application involving transferring high viscosity fluids and handling media containing solids up to 8mm. In addition, these hygienic drum pumps can be supplied in a range of motor options such as three-phase gear motor, brushless motor, compressed-air motor and commutator motor, and are available with open and close mechanical seals.

FAQs
It consists of a spiralled helical rotor (like a cork screw) that sits tightly inside a rubber stator/sleeve. As the rotor turns inside the stator, it forms a set of fixed-shaped cavities that progress along the length of the stator and force the fluid inside to move along with them as they turn.
