Versatile, reliable barrel pump designs

F300 and F400 series pumps: Opt for either the light-medium duty F300 series, or heavy-duty F400 series, depending on your desired flow rate, discharge pressure, duty cycle and application requirements. Both series feature axial impeller designs for a smooth, pulsation-free pumping action. Light, highly portable F300 series barrel pumps are primarily designed for dispensing smaller quantities. Larger 400 series pumps are used for high flow and high pressure applications. These pumps are powered by electric or air motors and can be used to transfer food products, flammable fuels, solvents and high density acids / alkalis.

Industry applications: Flux Pumps are used in a wide range of industries, spanning industrial, agricultural, oil & gas, cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors. Moreover, for applications involving flammable liquids, Flux offers ATEX (Ex) approved pumps to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments.
