## Products
- [Flux F 430 Drum Pump with Mechanical Seal](https://www.flux-pumps.co.uk/product/drum-pump-430/): \<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Flux has been designing and manufacturing drum pumps for over 75 years\. The Flux F 430 drum pump represents the pinnacle of our engineering expertise\. Designed for heavy\-duty use, it combines performance, durability and advanced sealing technology to deliver quick, efficient liquid transfer from drums, Intermediate Bulk Containers \(IBCs\) and tanks\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>In addition, these drum pumps are modular in design \- drive motors are interchangeable and the pump can be quickly disassembled for decontamination or maintenance\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>F 430 drum pumps are centrifugal, axial \(or optionally, semi\-axial\) impeller pumps, designed for handling low viscosity fluids up to 1,200 mPas\. Furthermore, they are available in five different materials – stainless steel 316, polypropylene, PVDF, aluminium and Hastelloy\-C, combined with a choice of o\-ring materials\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Therefore, we can guarantee material compatibility with almost any fluid, including corrosive acids, alkalis, flammable solvents, petroleum products and even food products\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Moreover, we manufacture F 430 pumps in custom lengths from 300 – 3,000 mm long, therefore covering many specialist tank or bund emptying applications\. High\-pressure models are also available, capable of producing discharge pressure up to 3\.2 Bar\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>In addition, all F 430 drum pumps are serviceable designs, designed for long service intervals and maximum return on investment\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>To purchase Hastelloy\-C pumps, high pressure IBC pumps and pumps in custom lengths, please contact our sales team\.\</span\>

- [Drum Pump Hose Connectors for Flux 400 Series](https://www.flux-pumps.co.uk/product/dn25-drum-pump-hose-connectors/): \<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>A hose connector is usually required to connect a delivery hose to the discharge port of your Flux drum pump\.  Standard drum pump hose connectors for our industrial pumps comprise a captive DN 19, DN 25 or DN 32 hose tail, a female union nut and flat polyethylene gasket\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>The union nut secures the hose tail to the male threaded pump outlet\. Consequently the gasket creates a seal between the pump and the hose tail\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Furthermore, these connectors ensure safe, leak\-free liquid transfer in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and industrial applications\. Hose connections are available in chemically resistant materials to match the pump material, including stainless steel, aluminium, polypropylene and PVDF\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>In addition, stainless steel tri\-clamp hose connections are available for use with F 430 and F 427 sanitary pumps\. Tri\-clamp hose connections include a DN25 hose tail with a 1\.5” clamp ferrule, FKM gasket \(alternative materials available if required\), and a cardan clamp with wing nut\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Consequently, the cardan clamp secures the hose tail and gasket to the 1\.5” clamp ferrule on the pump discharge port\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>DN 25 hose is the most appropriate choice for most low viscosity pumping applications using F 400 series pumps\. Pressure losses at higher flow rates are minimal and the hose is flexible enough to avoid operator fatigue when completing dispensing operations\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Flux recommends periodic inspection of hose clamps, gaskets and hoses, particularly in aggressive chemical environments, to minimise the chance of a potentially hazardous leak, or failure\.\</span\>

- [Flux CombiFlux F 314 Electric \& Battery Drum Pump Tubes](https://www.flux-pumps.co.uk/product/combiflux-battery-drum-pump/): The Flux CombiFlux FP 314 sets the gold standard for portable, seal\-less, battery drum pumps\. It performs reliably in laboratories, production facilities, and mobile operations\.

Flux manufactures this modular battery drum pump in Germany and crafts it from polypropylene \(PP\), PVDF, or stainless steel 316 Ti\. It enables safe, controlled transfer of corrosive and neutral liquids from small containers, 200\-litre drums and 1000\-litre IBCs\.
\<h3\>Motor compatibility\</h3\>
Its compatibility with both the FBM\-B 3100 brushless battery motor and the FEM 3070 electric motor makes the FP 314 exceptionally versatile\. The pump features a seal\-less design that removes the need for a mechanical seal\. This reduces maintenance costs, extends service life, and improves dry\-run capability\.

When paired with our brushless battery motor, the CombiFlux F 314 becomes fully mobile\. This is ideal where trailing cables are unwanted or prohibited\. \<span data\-ccp\-props="\{\}"\> \</span\>

- [F 425 Flux Barrel Pump – 99\.9% Drum Emptying](https://www.flux-pumps.co.uk/product/flux-f425-barrel-pump/): \<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Flux F 425 series’ are precision\-engineered barrel pumps designed for maximum liquid recovery and optimal safety\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>These pumps are available in two key materials – polypropylene, for handling non\-flammable neutral, acidic and alkaline media, and stainless steel 316, for transferring flammable or toxic liquids, such as fuels or carcinogenic solvents\. \</span\>
\<h3\>\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>The F 425 barrel pump has been developed for industrial applications where operator safety and / or reduction in residual waste is critical\. \</span\>\</h3\>
\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>In addition, these pumps are particularly useful for handling high value liquids, such as cosmetic oils or fragrances\. You can expect to pump out almost the entire contents of a standard 205\-litre barrel, leaving approx\. 0\.2 litres residual volume remaining\*\*—equating to only 0\.1% of the original container volume\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Equipped with a manually\-operated backflow prevention valve, the F 425 pump allows the operator to eliminate drain\-back before removing the pump from a container\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>This ensures that both the pump and discharge hose retain the transferred fluid, reducing the chance of dangerous spills and cutting waste\. \</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Used extensively in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and coatings sectors, the F 425 barrel pump sets the standard for efficiency, cleanliness and control in high\-stakes liquid handling operations\.\</span\>
