230V and 110V drum pump electric motors | Flux Pumps UK

Tough, serviceable, ergonomically-designed motors

FLUX 230V and 110V single-phase electric drum pump motors are tough, powerful, quiet and efficient. Our motors have lower current draw for the same performance, when compared to competitor’s products. All Flux motors are serviceable designs, suitable for continuous running (marked S1) and 100% made in our German factory, using European components. Every motor is individually tested before sale.

Flux manufactures both internally-cooled and externally-cooled motor designs, with power ratings from 230 W to 800 W. Internally-cooled designs have IP24 protection against dust and water ingress, whereas externally-cooled motors have a class-leading IP55 rating. When run-times are particularly long, consider the maintenance-free FBM 4000 brushless motor.

110V Drum Pump Commutator Motors

Flux commutator motors have significant features and benefits that elevate them above competitors:

  1. High Performance: These brushed motors provide high torque, high efficiency and robust performance. All Flux motors are suitable for continuous running.  Cost-effective 500W FEM4070 motors have variable speed control as standard. High power 800W motors are available for high density and high viscosity fluids.
  2. Versatility: Flux commutator motors are used in a range of applications including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. F460 Ex models are suitable for use in explosive environments. FEM 3070 motors are are especially light and portable, with 2-speeds for accurate dispense control. You can purchase our FEM 3070 here.
  3. Durability: These motors are built to last, using high-quality materials to withstand harsh conditions. Double-walled F 458 motors, for example, are totally enclosed designs, suitable for corrosive atmospheres. Cooling air does not enter the windings, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs​. Design features such as high-strength housings, superior cable protection, recessed switches, lacquer coated motor windings and superior fume protection provide extended life and reduced maintenance.
  4. Safety Features: Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of Flux motors. All our motors are double insulated and Class II earth protected. The F 460 Ex model, is ATEX certified and safe for use in potentially explosive environments. Flux 110V motors are fitted with thermal overload-protection and low-voltage release, to protect from accidental re-starting. 110V motors provide reduced risk of operator injury from an accident, compared to higher voltage equivalents.
  5. Ease of Maintenance: Flux commutator motors are designed to deliver maximum return on investment. They are serviceable and easy to maintain, providing  industry leading whole-life cost. You can easily perform regular preventive maintenance to keep the motors in optimal condition.
  6. Adaptability: One motor can be used to drive many different pumps, keeping costs low. Optional quick-release couplings allow the motor to be detached quickly and easily. Their adaptability makes them a practical choice for many barrel pumping applications enhancing overall efficiency and productivity​.
