The Flux VISCOPOWER F580, a progressive cavity barrel pump, is designed to transfer thin to highly viscous fluids up to 100,000 CP and even process paste-like media from drum or IBC. Equipped with a robust bearing flange that provides additional support and prevents the pump from running in the wrong direction of rotation, this chemical barrel pump is perfect for continuously running applications. Built with a special focus on easy and fast disassembly and cleaning, the VISCOPOWER F580 high viscosity electric drum pump has a comprehensive modular design that enables disassembling in just 30 seconds. This unique modular system is future-proofing the chemical barrel pump by allowing quick replacement of components such as screws, stators, motors and seals for simpler maintenance and cleaning, and also for flexibility in adapting it for different applications in the future. Saving time and money on pump replacements and eliminating the risk of contamination, this Flux pump is a perfect solution for a range of industrial applications involving chemicals, lubricants, pastes and adhesives.

Thanks to the progressive cavity style design, high viscosity drum pump provides smooth flow at constant pressure, ensuring little disruption to the pumped product and offering low shear liquid transfer. To further enhance the pump design, this electric drum pump for chemicals is available with ATEX certification for flammable fluids or environments.

The stator of the F580 chemical barrel 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 drum pumps can be supplied in a range of motor options such as three-phase motors, gear motors or compressed-air motors, 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.
