Flux drum pumps are perfect for distillery applications, with models like the F 430 and F 427 designed for durability, cleanliness and efficiency. Here’s what makes them ideal for your distillery: 

• Durable, food-grade and hygienic: Built from high-quality materials compliant with food safety standards, ensuring easy cleaning and reduced contamination risk. The F 430 enables quick cleaning between applications, while the F 427 offers tool-free disassembly and simplifies sterilising all parts in contact with the product — perfect for frequent media changes. 
• Corrosion and explosion resistance: Flux pumps are suitable for a variety of liquids, from spirits and fruit concentrates, to delicate flavourings. F 430 food-grade pumps and F 426 mixing pumps are ATEX certified, with explosion protection for transferring alcohols.

The FLUX F 425 drum pump is the ideal solution for transferring ethanol from IBCs and 200-litre drums into smaller containers with minimal waste and high accuracy. This explosion-protected (Ex) design is perfect for pumping flammable liquids, ensuring safety while maximising efficiency.  

The manually controlled non-return valve on the pump inlet prevents liquid from flowing back into the emptied drum, optimising product use and minimising waste. Less than 0.05 litres of residual liquid is left in the drum, making it perfect for use with high-value liquids. Drum cleaning and disposal costs are also minimised. 

For precise filling, users can pair the pump with the FMC100 flow meter and FLUXTRONIC® batch controller, ensuring accurate and repeatable dispensing of the desired quantity into smaller containers. By adding the FSV 100 switching amplifier, the system can be fully automated, stopping the pump once the pre-set quantity is reached, ensuring fast and reliable operation with minimal manual intervention.
