F 426 drum mixer pump

For mixing and/or pumping

Branch: IndustryBranch: Surface technologyBranch: PetrochemistryBranch: AgricultureBranch: Water treatmentBranch: Paints and lacquersBranch: Chemistry

The F 426 is ideal for mixing and/or pumping inhomogeneous media in open or closed drums. Keep media moving that tend to separate, even during pumping. With the outlet closed, e.g. via a hand nozzle or blanking plug, the F 426 can be temporarily operated as pure barrel mixer. By turning the manual lever, the pump can be easily adjusted between "mixing" or "pumping" modes. The pump is easy to dismantle for rapid cleaning and is suitable for many applications - available in stainless steel 316 or polypropylene, with a wide choice of o-ring materials . The stainless steel version is ATEX certified for use in hazardous areas.  1000 or 1200 mm long versions available for use with 200 litre drums, barrels or 1000 litre IBC's.
