F 426 barrel and container mixer pump
For mixing and/or pumping







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.

- 1 The maximum delivery rate is a test bench value, measured with water at 20 ° C at the pressure port of the pump, without accessories (hose, nozzle, flow meter). The practically achievable delivery rate is lower. It depends on the individual application, the fluid properties and the pump configuration. Please refer to technical data sheets / performance diagrams.
