Flux F 430 Drum Pump Kit – Fire Foam / Fire Brigade

The Flux F 430 Drum Pump Kit is a high-performance, one-box solution. It pumps foaming agents, low-concentration acids and additionally alkalis directly from 200-litre drums. This drum pump kit serves fire brigades and emergency response teams. It delivers safe and efficient performance under demanding conditions. Furthermore, this kit uses the high-flow F 430 polypropylene pump with our unique steel-cored inner tube. The Flux “heart of steel” is over-moulded with polypropylene—delivering unbeatable strength, chemical resistance and additionally thermal stability. When coupled with the F 458 24V DC commutator motor with IP 55 ingress protection, a 2 m PVC hose, and a hand nozzle for dispense control, this kit consequently forms a complete system. Finally, it provides a plug-and-pump solution for fire foam handling.

Flux designed the F430 drum pump kit as a versatile, highly robust solution to meet the needs of fire brigades and emergency response teams. Consequently, here’s what sets it apart: 

1. Purpose-built for handling foaming agents:

   Firstly, this drum pump kit is specifically configured for low-viscosity, foam-forming liquids used in fire suppression, making it a trusted solution for fire brigades, emergency services and chemical handlers. 

2. Innovative steel-cored inner tube design:

   In addition, the inner tube features a steel core for resistance to thermal expansion or contraction, therefore providing optimal mechanical seal support and delivering class-leading service life. No other drum pump can match it. 

3. Tool-free maintenance:

   In addition, the top-pull inner tube assembly can be removed in seconds without tools, thereby simplifying cleaning and reducing downtime between fluid changes. 

4. Minimal cross-contamination:

   Designed for multi-media use, this pump’s limited wetted area prevents carryover— therefore making it ideal for users needing to switch between various liquids without risking contamination. 

5. Mechanical seal for difficult media:

   The mechanical seal with standard FKM o-rings protects the shaft bearings, consequently enabling safe handling of abrasive, crystallising, or even solids-entrained fluids and maintaining leak-free, reliable operation. 

6. Adaptable & upgradeable:

   Finally, this kit can be customised with alternative electric or compressed air motors to suit specific site power requirements. 

This drum pump kit is ideal for the following applications: 

• Fire foam and firefighting agents 

• Low-concentration acids and alkalis 

• Water-based chemicals 

• Emergency services and mobile response teams 

• Cleaning and also decontamination systems 

• Light industrial fluid transfer 

• Quick tool-free disassembly for fast maintenance and cleaning 

• Reduced wetted area with no risk of media entering the inner shaft 

• Reliable handling of adhesive, crystallising, or solid-laden liquids 

• Durable polypropylene construction with excellent chemical resistance 

• Flexible motor options including 24V DC, 110V and additionally compressed air drives 

• Pre-assembled kit for fast, hassle-free setup on-site
