Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on FLUX high viscosity liquid pumps, specifically focusing on eccentric worm-drive pumps. These pumps are designed for smooth liquid transfer with minimal turbulence, making them ideal for industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. They are available in various models to accommodate different viscosity levels and are easy to clean and maintain.
Specifications: These pumps are positive displacement types with high output capacities of 30 l/min or 50 l/min. They come in both vertical and horizontal configurations and are designed to be low-wear with no valves or vanes. The sanitary versions have 3A-approval for hygiene-sensitive applications.
Models and Applications: Several models are described, including the F 550 S and F 560 S, suitable for continuous operation and quick-change applications. The F 550 GS model is lightweight and ideal for viscosities up to 30,000 mPas, while the F 550 GS6 handles up to 80,000 mPas. Explosion-proof versions are available for hazardous areas.
Technical Data: The pumps feature mechanical seals and are constructed from materials like stainless steel 316 Ti. They have a maximum delivery head of 8 bar and are available with different immersion lengths. Detailed technical specifications, including part numbers and weights for various components, are provided.
Drive Motors: The pumps can be powered by three-phase electric motors or compressed-air motors, with options for variable speed control. Guidance is provided on selecting the appropriate motor based on the viscosity of the substances being pumped.
Sanitary and Safety Features: Sanitary versions are designed for easy disassembly and cleaning, with features like safety bars to protect containers. They comply with EU regulations and have 3A-certification for the USA.
Additional Features: Additional options include pumps with cardan shafts for higher torque, right/left rotation capabilities, and compatibility with VISCOFLUX systems for drum emptying.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for various drive motors and accessories are provided, including motor types, capacities, protection levels, maximum viscosity, and part numbers with weights. Motors are categorized into commutator motors, compressed air motors, and three-phase motors, each with specific features such as splash-proof or explosion-proof capabilities.
Procedures and Recommendations: The document emphasizes the importance of conducting in-service tests to determine the most suitable pump type, especially for non-Newtonian liquids whose viscosity may change during operation. FLUX sales representatives are available for individual demonstrations.
Viscosity Chart: A comprehensive viscosity chart is included, listing various media along with their viscosity and temperature, serving as a reference for selecting appropriate pumps based on the media's viscosity.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions for different pump types and immersion lengths are provided, including measurements for diameter, length, and other relevant parameters.
FLUX Drum Emptying Systems: The document introduces the VISCOFLUX drum emptying systems, designed for handling highly viscous materials. Advantages include low initial purchase costs, high flexibility, low disposal costs, process safety, and fast cleaning. Different versions like VISCOFLUX mobile and VISCOFLUX lite are described, catering to specific needs and drum types.
Company Overview: FLUX-GERÄTE GMBH is presented as a global leader in pump technology, known for its high standards and extensive product range. The company is recognized for its quality, customer focus, and expertise, supplying pumps to nearly 100 countries worldwide.
