Flux VISCOPOWER F580 Progressive Cavity Food Grade Barrel Pump

The Flux F580 sanitary drum pump is designed to handle thin to highly viscous free flowing fluids, even pasty substances up to 100,000 CP. The wide viscosity range of this food grade barrel pump makes it a versatile solution for transferring fluids from barrel or IBC, meeting specific hygienic requirements for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Equipped with a robust bearing flange that provides additional support and prevents the pump from running in the wrong direction of rotation, this high viscosity electric drum pump is perfect for continuously running applications.

Build with a special focus on easy and fast disassembly and cleaning, the VISCOPOWER food grade barrel pump has a comprehensive modular design that enables disassembling in just 30 seconds. This means that Flux F580 can be cleaned and/or sterilised with minimum effort to ensure compliance with hygienic regulations. In addition, this unique modular system is future-proofing the stainless steel sanitary pump by allowing quick replacement of components such as screws, stators, motors and seals, for simpler maintenance and cleaning. Saving time and money on pump replacements and eliminating the risk of contamination, this Flux pump is a perfect solution for a range of sanitary applications involving transferring food, beverages and cosmetics.

Due to the progressive cavity style design, this Flux hygienic barrel pump provides smooth flow at constant pressure, ensuring little disruption to the pumped product and offering low shear liquid transfer. Thanks to its design with minimal dead space, the use of a closed mechanical seal and electropolished surfaces, the food safe pump has no hidden voids or inaccessible parts. The F580 stainless steel drum pump is FDA approved, and there are models available with 3A certificate.

The stator of this Flux food safe 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, this food transfer pump 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.
