*Measured with water at 20 degrees C in open flow condition. The maximum figures listed above are dependent on the application, fluid properties and the pump configuration. Please refer to technical data sheets or performance diagrams. 

*Dependent on pump type, diameter and motor.

Please see our comprehensive list of media examples suitable for the F 424, based on pump material, here.

 

 

• Exceptional chemical resistance: Drum pump models available for handling acids, alkalis, solvents, foodstuffs and petroleum products
• Reduced cross-contamination: Mechanical seal prevents fluid ingress, reducing wetted surface area
• Long service life: Steel-reinforced inner tube and multiple high surface area brass bearings reduce mechanical loads and wear
• Rapid disassembly: Two-piece design allows fast disassembly for cleaning and repairs. You can remove the top-pull inner tube assembly and impeller in seconds.
• Screw-on foot piece: Hastens impeller replacement, maintenance and decontamination.
• Recessed motor coupling: protected from damage when motor is removed.
• Wide temperature range: Compatible with media up to 120 °C, depending on material configuration.
• Temporary operation again closed valve (hand nozzle, ball valve etc.) is possible until max. indicated operating temperature.
• ATEX certification: Stainless Steel and Hastelloy models are safe to use in hazardous environments. 
• Food-grade version: FDA CFR 21 and EN 1935 / 2004 certified compliance for pharmaceutical and food applications.
• Quiet, low vibration operation: Enhances workplace safety and comfort.
• Quick-release motor connection – use one pump to power several different pump tubes. Suitable for all Flux F 400 series motors.
