Three Operations
Mixing, Pumping Only or Mixing & Pumping Simultaneously
The FLUX® Pump-N-Mixer allows you to either pump, mix, or pump and mix simultaneously.

The F426 eliminates the need for a separate drum mixer when the contents of the container must be thoroughly mixed before they can be pumped out. Both mixing and pumping can be performed with the same unit, the FLUX® unique lever action design allows the user to perform several functions with the turn of a lever.

This unit is available in Stainless Steel and also Polypropylene, and can be used with any of the FLUX® motors subject to application.

Note: When using the drum pump as a mixing pump there is a risk-as in all circulation operations with electrically non-conductive liquids-that the circulated liquid (especially when it contains a high percentage of non-dissolved solid or liquid particles in suspension) will be charged electrostatically.

Please make sure that any ignition risk will be eliminated before commencing mixing operation.

Lightweight, portable barrel pump in stainless steel with planetary gear for transferring paints, varnishes, oils, detergents, soaps, shampoos, fruit juices, jams, syrups, etc. Delivery rate up to 50 l/min, delivery head up to 8 bar, viscosity up to 30.000 mPas (cP), temperature up to 150 ºC. With electric or compressed air motor. Detailed information, also on further models, can be seen in our catalogue FLUX® HIGH VISCOSITY LIQUID PUMPS, which is available on simple request.

""In Good Contact with the Liquids""
The liquids to be pumped are abrasive, but they do not leave any deposits. Dry running of the pump must not cause any problems. You are looking for a general purpose pump without a mechanical seal in the liquid section. The O-ring material FKM is not resistant to the liquids to be pumped.

The inner tube supports the pump shaft, which is lubricated by the liquid. The level of the liquid in the inner tube always corresponds to that in the drum or container.

""A Shaft in a Shell""
The pump must be used with many varying liquids, consequently the smallest residual left within the pump is unacceptable. You want to pump adhesive substances like paints, or liquids which tend to crystallize or harden.

The inner tube houses the shaft. It is sealed at the bottom by mechanical seal through which the shaft passes. Consequently the shaft does not come into contact with the liquid except for the small section between the impeller and seal.

With all the advantages of FLUX® Drum Pumps, plus the added Flowback Stop Valve, these pumps are ideal for expensive or hard to handle fluids. The Flowback Stop Valve closes to prevent any product from emptying out of the pump back into the drum. This is done while the pump is running, and by doing this up to 99.98% of the drum contents can be removed.

"An Excellent Mixture"
You want to mix and pump liquids within a closed drum or an open container.
By turning the adjusting lever, the pump can either mix or pump. Liquids can also be mixed even when being transferred to another container.

Pure Culture in Pumping"
You want a safe pumping of food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. The operating conditions require an easy and quick cleaning or sterilization of the pump at regular intervals to avoid any contamination of the product, e.g. when pumping varying liquids or different colors as well as quick-drying or film forming liquids.

The efficient FLUX® sanitary pump has been especially designed for aseptic applications."

Operation and Function of FLUX® Pump Tubeset F425
When emptying a drum or container, the liquid which remains in the pump tubeset or hose being used with a FLUX® hand nozzle will always remain under the control of the operator. The pump tubeset-model F425-is equipped with an integrated back-flow stop in the lower part of the pump housing, which is operated manually by turning an adjustable lever 90 degrees to a locked position. As soon as the drum or container is completely empty and no more liquid is being discharged, the integrated back-flow stop must be closed with the motor still running. (In that way, any back-flow of the liquid is prevented and ensures that the drum or container is emptied to its maximum.)

Advantages of FLUX® Tubeset F425

• Drums and containers can be emptied in vertical position up to one (1) pint and in tilted position up to 3 oz. residual quantity.
• By closing the back-flow stop at the bottom of the tubeset, the liquid in the pump and transfer hose cannot flow back into the drum or container.
• Pump tubeset F425 S in stainless steel has an outer diameter of only 1 19/32 in. over the total effective immersion length, F425 Pouter diameter is 2 in.
• No loss of liquid or environmental problems with remaining liquid in drums and containers. No contamination of environment due to leaking liquid.
• Easy to operate, easy to dismantle and service with cleaning a simple operation.

The MINIFLUX® horizontally installed container pump is designed for emptying IBCs via their floor-level outlet. Designed as an alternative to a vertical pump, the MINIFLUX® can be used when an IBC is not accessible from the top. It is suitable for applications when gravity draining via the outlet tap is insufficient eg. rapid dispensing, long distance product transfer, or transfer to another container in a higher location. Power can ideally be provided by commutator or compressed air motor.

Recommended for transferring

Seal Types
Type F 550 S with mechanical seal or Type F 550 SB with stuffing box.

Available Drive Motors
Three-phase electric or compressed air motors. Three-phase motors of 0.75 or 1.1 kW, with a speed of 930 or 700 rpm. For high viscosity, pasty substances a motor of 1.1 kW is required with a recommended speed of 700 rpm for viscosities exceeding 50.000 mPas (cP), because of the low velocity of such products. A speed of 930 rpm may be used if the product is still flowing or if a follow-on plate would support the continuous flow of the product to the pump inlet.
For viscosities up to 25.000 mPas (cP) a motor of 0.75 kW and 930 rpm will be sufficient.
On compressed air motors of 0.5 to 1.8 kW, the speed may be controlled by a valve in the air supply line.
With higher viscosities delivery rate will be lower, depending on the velocity of the fluid.
Values ±10% at 930 rpm. Delivery rate depends on the velocity of the fluid.

The small drum pump JUNIORFLUX® with its fixed collector motor is available with a mechanical seal (F 310) and as a sealless version (F 314). It is especially suitable for pumping comparably small quantities out of containers such as canisters or drums of up to 200 liters. The small outer tube diameter allows pumping even out of narrow openings.

The small, sealless drum pump COMBIFLUX® FP 314 can be use with the collector motor FEM 3070 (with mains connection) or the new battery motor FBM-B 3100, the world's first maintenance-free battery motor for pumps. It is of a modular design, so that several pumps can be operated in with one motor. Like the JUNIORFLUX® , the COMBIFLUX® is especially suitable for pumping comparably small quantities out of containers such as canisters or drums of up to 55 gallons. The small outer tube diameter allows pumping even out of narrow openings.
