- Mixes liquids with max S.G. 1.8 with most powerful drive motors
The F 426 drum mixer is ideal for mixing and/or pumping inhomogeneous liquids. This pump can keep media moving that separate, even during pumping. Use a hand nozzle or blanking plug to close the pump discharge, then operate the F426 as a pure drum mixer. Turn the adjusting lever - the pump is easily adjusted to from mixing to pumping duties. The pump is easy to dismantle for rapid cleaning. Available in stainless steel 316 and polypropylene materials, with a choice of elastomer materials to suit any application. The stainless steel version is ATEX certified for use in hazardous areas. 1000 or 1200 mm long versions available for use with 200 litre barrels or 1000 litre IBC's.
FLUX can also supply pure drum mixers and barrel mixer tubesets, for when only mixing is required. These mixers are powered by our standard range of continuous duty electric and compressed air motors. For IBC mixing, see our dedicated IBC mixer webpage.
