When it comes to transferring oil from drums or barrels, having the right pump is crucial for efficiency, safety and ease of use. Whether you're handling engine oil, gear oil, rapeseed oil or fragrance oil, a high-quality oil barrel pump can make the process faster and cleaner. At Flux Pumps UK, we specialise in providing reliable, durable and easy-to-use barrel pumps designed to meet your specific needs.
Our pumps are designed with functionality and convenience in mind, thereby ensuring that you can transfer a wide range of oils and other liquids with minimal hassle.
Flux pumps are trusted by professionals worldwide thanks to their durability, ease of use and versatility.
Flux oil barrel pumps are perfect for transferring a wide variety of oils and lubricating fluids. See typical examples below:
Drum pumps are an important tool in workshops and manufacturing plants. They efficiently transfer motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and coolants in the automotive and marine industries. Consequently, using a Flux oil barrel pump ensures precise, repeatable dispensing without spillage.
Used for filling and servicing gearboxes in almost every industry – automotive, marine, power generation, quarrying & mining and manufacturing. Also used in the renewable energy sector for lubrication of wind turbine gearboxes.
Used for power transfer in hydraulic systems in heavy machinery such as excavators and forklifts. A Flux pump guarantees high flow, minimal downtime and reduced contamination risk.
Essential in factories and industrial plants to reduce wear and friction in machinery. Cutting fluids, lubricants and coolants are critical for optimal machinery operation. Our F 430 pump can handle solid particles e.g. machine tool swarf.
Used in construction and manufacturing for releasing moulded parts from the moulds themselves. Flux Pumps simplify the process of transferring these semi-viscous oils safely.
Food-grade oils such olive oil, garlic oil and coconut oil require hygienic transfer pumps. Our stainless steel F 430 and F 427 food pumps with FDA-compliant materials are the perfect solution for oil transfer in the food industry.
Found in cosmetics, personal care products and industrial applications for lubrication or insulation. These oils benefit from precise, contamination-free transfer pumps provided by Flux.
Finally, Flux pumps are widely used in the cosmetics industry for transferring fragrances, essences and essential oils.
Yes, a Flux F 430 oil barrel pump in aluminium can be used for both diesel and engine oil. The pump can be powered by a range of motors – 230 V electric, 110 V electric, or compressed air. When fitted with semi-axial high pressure impeller, the pump can handle viscosities ranging from < 1 cP (diesel) up to 800 cP (gear oil).
High power 800 W motors are required for handling more viscous fluids.
Yes, Flux oil barrel pumps are built to resist corrosion. Aluminium pumps are suitable for most industrial and automotive oil transfer applications. Stainless steel pumps are used for food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. Flux pumps are available with a choice of o-ring materials, so we can specify the correct option for handling aggressive or corrosive liquids.
We can even offer explosion-proof pumps for special applications, for example, transferring flammable garlic oil or fragrance oils.
For filling smaller containers with mineral oil, the Flux F 430 aluminium drum pump with mechanical seal is an excellent solution. Designed for low-viscosity media up to 800 mPas, this pump allows easy decanting of oils with minimal effort. The pump can be powered by 110 V or 230 V electric motors, or compressed air motor.
It’s lightweight design makes it highly mobile, enabling quick transfer between barrels or IBCs. F 430 pumps are also available in custom lengths for use in deeper oil tanks - immersion depths of up to 3000 mm are available.
An FMC flow meter can be mounted on the pump outlet, allowing oil to be dispensed manually using a trigger nozzle. Alternatively, a semi-automatic system is a great way to fill smaller containers. This requires addition of the FMC100 switching amplifier and start-stop button. The amount required is entered into the Fluxtronic batch controller and the correct amount is dispensed at the push of a button, to an accuracy of 1%.
When IBCs are vertically stacked and emptying is only possible from the bottom outlet valve, the MiniFlux centrifugal pump is the ideal solution. Paired with the F 457 commutator motor, FMO flowmeter and FLUXTRONIC® batch controller, this system allows precise dispensing of mineral oils into 10, 20, and 60-litre canisters, or even 205 litre drums. The FSV 100 switching amplifier ensures accurate flow control.
The compact, portable design of the Minflux pump makes it perfect for IBC dispensing. By programming the desired quantity, operators can start the filling process at the push of a button. The switching amplifier will automatically stop the pump when the desired quantity has been dispensed.
The Viscopower progressive cavity pump is the perfect solution for dispensing silicone oils with viscosity up to 12,500 mPas from 200 L drums into sealed containers. This pump, paired with a F 458-1 commutator motor, is ideal for handling high-viscosity media. Its lightweight, easy-to-clean design with compact gearbox allows for mobile use and simple operation. This makes it suitable for pumping a range of oils, or in different locations on site.
The system also includes a pressure relief valve. This opens automatically when a pre-set discharge pressure is reached, diverting flow back into the supply drum. The valve ensures safe operation by preventing critical pressure buildup in the hose system, when the pump is running. With its positive displacement action, the Viscopower guarantees smooth transfer of silicone oils into containers, with zero pulsation.
