Low level connection

Unlike our conventional pumps that are installed vertically through the top cap of the IBC, the Miniflux instead enables fluid extraction directly from the low level outlet valve. As a result, it offers a clear advantage in height-restricted areas, or when using stacked IBCs.

Furthermore, it significantly enhances flow rate when compared to gravity draining. Additionally, this compact IBC pump weighs just 1.2 kg and incorporates our quick-release motor coupling. Therefore, manual handling is extremely easy – the pump and motor can be connected and disconnected in seconds.

Industrial Miniflux is based on our highly successful F 430 pump design and incorporates a high-precision ETFE axial impeller and ceramic-oxide mechanical seal. Therefore, any F 400 series motor can power the pump – flow rates up to 240 LPM are possible, depending on the motor selection. 

Stainless steel 316

Furthermore, the use of ETFE and stainless steel 316 ensures long-term resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and chemical degradation. And with full ATEX certification, Miniflux is suitable for handling highly flammable liquids, or use in Zoned areas. Not only that, you can use it to pump liquids that contain solids in suspension, or viscous fluids up to 1,000 mPas.

Whether you are dispensing flammable solvents in a paint factory, or transferring ethanol and glycerol blends in a cosmetic lab, the Miniflux provides power, flexibility and convenience. It also reduces manual handling risks and safety issues associated with lifting IBC’s, therefore helping meet stringent health and safety standards.
