AdBlue is a solution made from Urea and de-ionised water. It is used to reduce vehicle emissions by breaking down harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water. To ensure its effectiveness, it must remain uncontaminated during transfer. An AdBlue drum pump provides an efficient and reliable method or transferring AdBlue from barrels and IBC containers. Investing in an AdBlue drum pump safeguards product quality and ensures compliance with stringent emission standards, critical for modern industries and transportation sectors.
Our Junior and CombiFlux AdBlue drum pumps are specifically designed for quick and easy AdBlue transfer. Here’s why Flux is the preferred choice for AdBlue handling:
Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials such as polypropylene and stainless steel 316, Flux AdBlue pumps guarantee the integrity of the product.
The compact, lightweight JuniorFlux AdBlue pump makes it easy to store and move between workstations. This is especially helpful for technicians needing flexibility in fluid transfer tasks.
For added mobility and convenience, our CombiFlux AdBlue pumps can be battery powered, eliminating the need for manual pumping or an electrical connection. This is ideal for remote applications, or use in high traffic areas, such as refilling vehicle AdBlue tanks at fleet depots or during transportation. With one charge, you can pump up to 1250 litres, maximising productivity and minimising interruptions.
Flux pumps feature variable speed drive motors, ensuring accurate AdBlue dispensing while reducing the risk of spillage and waste. When used with a hand nozzle for dispense control, our pumps are the perfect solution for accurately filling smaller containers or vehicles.
Easily connect and disconnect the motor and pump tube with quick-release fittings. Multiple pumps can be powered by one motor, keeping costs down and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
The slim AdBlue drum pump design enables use with narrow-necked containers. The ideal solution for businesses handling different container types.
The seal-less construction eliminates the risk of mechanical seal wear and leakage. The unique Flux spiral driveshaft bearing provides ultimate vibration resistance and extended service life.
Our Junior and Combi pumps are suitable for transferring liquids with viscosities between 1 and 250 mPas, from AdBlue to glycol or light oil. Larger 400 series pumps are suitable for higher viscosity liquids and faster pumping rates. This versatility covers diverse industrial requirements, reducing the need for multiple specialised pumps.
Furthermore, achieve efficient fluid transfer with a flow rate of up to 60 litres per minute, saving time in high-demand applications.
Choose from 500, 700, 1000 or 1200 mm long pump tubes depending on container size, ensuring complete fluid transfer without waste.
Secures the hand nozzle to the pump when not in use, preventing spillage and ensuring quick access.
AdBlue® is a vital for reducing Nitrous Oxide emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations in modern diesel engines. The proper handling, transfer and dispensing of AdBlue® is crucial to maintain its purity and effectiveness. Find out how drum and IBC pumps are used in AdBlue production below:
AdBlue, also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), consists of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. This non-flammable, non-toxic, colourless liquid reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in diesel engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. This reaction converts harmful NOx into nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide, therefore, helping vehicles meet Euro 6 emission standards.
The automotive, power generation and manufacturing sectors widely use AdBlue. It ensures diesel-powered commercial vehicles and machinery meet environmental regulations. Factories and workshops use AdBlue to test and maintain SCR systems in stationary diesel backup generators. Modern farming equipment, such as tractors and harvesters, also use AdBlue.
These vehicles rely on AdBlue to meet emission standards and drum and IBC pumps simplify on-site refilling. The ISO 22241 standard governs AdBlue purity, ensuring compatibility with SCR systems. Low-quality or contaminated AdBlue can lead to costly repairs and downtime.
In transportation hubs, warehouses, distribution centres and logistics operations, Flux pumps provide a convenient and safe solution for on-site refilling of vehicle AdBlue® tanks. Our pumps are highly efficient and easy to use, reducing the risk of spillage or contamination during the transfer process. Flux Pumps are the ideal solution for dispensing AdBlue® into vehicles and smaller containers.
Urea is a synthetic compound produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide. It is the active component in AdBlue, breaking down NOx emissions within SCR systems. Upon heating, urea decomposes into ammonia, which reacts with NOx to form harmless nitrogen and water.
Beyond its role in emissions control, urea plays a crucial role in fertiliser production, actively supporting agriculture by providing plants with a concentrated nitrogen source for growth. It is also used in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and even as a feed additive for livestock.
Urea is highly soluble in water and has a viscosity of 1.4 mPas, making it easy to handle and transport. However, its hygroscopic nature requires it to be handled carefully to avoid moisture absorption. Flux AdBlue pumps ensuring precise, contamination-free transfer of Urea in fertiliser production, chemical manufacturing and AdBlue handling processes.
Deionized water (DI water) is water that is purified by removing ions, including salts and minerals. It is chemically neutral, making it ideal for use in solutions where contaminants result in reduction in product quality. DI water is a key ingredient in AdBlue as its purity prevents mineral buildup in SCR systems.
Deionized water is used for cleaning sensitive equipment, preparing chemical solutions and for cooling machinery. It is also crucial in electronics and pharmaceutical production and laboratory testing, where impurities can compromise quality or results. It’s low viscosity (0.89 mPas at 25°C) and makes it easy to pump. However, we recommend the use of seal-less pumps, as de-ionised water is non-lubricating in nature and can lead to premature mechanical seal wear.
Seal-less Flux AdBlue pumps are perfect for transferring deionized water, maintaining its purity throughout the transfer process. Whether filling AdBlue production tanks, topping up laboratory equipment, or supplying DI water for a manufacturing process, Flux pumps deliver precise results.
Glycol (Ethylene Glycol) is occasionally associated with AdBlue. An odourless and colourless synthetic liquid with typical viscosity of 20 mPas, Glycol is also known as antifreeze. Glycol is commonly used in vehicle cooling systems and is an important component in brake fluid. Benefits include its corrosion resistance and high thermal transfer efficiency. It is also used as a solvent and in the production of low-freezing explosives and polyester fibres. Flux pumps with 110V electric motors are often used to empty barrels and drums of Ethylene Glycol.
AdBlue drum and IBC pumps typically transfer AdBlue into vehicles, generators, or smaller containers. This means that high delivery pressures are not usually required. Flux AdBlue pumps usually operate at low pressures (less than 1.5 Bar), ensuring a smooth and controlled flow. Excessive pressure will cause splashing and reduced dispense control, while risking product contamination.
The best drum pump for AdBlue is one that provides the optimal flow rate, delivery pressure and dispense control for the task at hand. Flux offers drum and IBC pumps in various sizes and configurations to suit any AdBlue or de-ionised water pumping application. Choose from electric, compressed air or battery-operated motors. Consider whether a high-flow or high pressure impeller is needed.
We manufacture our pumps from polypropylene and stainless steel 316L for ultimate resistance to AdBlue, ensuring reliable performance and seamless, contamination-free transfer every time.
Yes, Flux offers drum pumps specifically designed for AdBlue. These pumps are built with materials resistant to urea-based solutions and include features such as ergonomic controls, a choice of 110 V, 230 V or battery-operated continuous duty motors. We can also provide accessories such as flowmeters, hoses and discharge nozzles for optimal dispense control. Our barrel pumps ensure AdBlue remains uncontaminated during transfer, meeting the stringent demands of this application.
