Flux Pumps are experts in the production of polypropylene pumps for chemical handling applications. From our smallest JuniorFlux barrel and container pumps, to our legendary F 430 drum pump, right up to our high-flow 700 series high-flow chemical transfer and circulation pumps, polypropylene pump production is at the core of our business.
Flux 600 and 700 series polypropylene pumps are the ideal solution for demanding tank transfer and circulation applications. These heavy-duty centrifugal immersion pumps handle aggressive and abrasive media, delivering flow rates up to 74 m³/hr and pressure up to 3.5 Bar. They are particularly effective for the continuous circulation or transfer of chemicals, plating solutions, acids, alkalis and waste effluent.
Constructed from high-quality, virgin polypropylene (PP), these pumps deliver the superior chemical resistance required for many corrosive environments. Furthermore, polypropylene pumps are an excellent choice for industrial acid and alkali handling applications, when chemical resistance is essential. Note that Flux chemical transfer pumps are available in alternative materials, such as PVDF and stainless steel, thereby covering a huge range of chemical and thermal compatibility.
Our F 600 and F 700 polypropylene vertical immersion pumps are available in both seal-less and mechanically-sealed designs, thereby covering a wide range of duties, including pumping solids-entrained or abrasive media. Furthermore, these pumps are available to order in lengths from 300 mm to 4100 mm, to suit various tank sizes and transfer flow rates. Plus horizontal TR series models are also available for dry installation below tanks or process vessels.
For robust performance, Flux high-flow chemical transfer and circulation pumps can be supplied with IP 55 three-phase electric drive motors, ranging in size from 0.37 kW to 5.5 kW.
Flux stocks polypropylene drum and IBC pumps ready for immediate delivery. In contrast, we manufacture 600 and 700 series pumps to order, for specific applications. Whether you require a polypropylene drum pump for dispensing corrosive acids, or a robust immersion pump for pumping abrasive waste effluent, a Flux Pump always delivers superior performance and reliability.

Firstly, the term polypropylene pump refers to any pump constructed from polypropylene, a structurally durable, thermoplastic material known for its resistance to abrasion, high temperatures and corrosion. Polypropylene is relatively inexpensive, freely available and can be easily moulded into complex shapes.
Polypropylene pumps are durable, lightweight and chemically resistant, with a long lifespan, even under demanding duty cycles. These characteristics ensure polypropylene pumps are common. They are widely used for chemical transfer, chemical processing, water treatment and effluent handling processes.
Flux F 400, F 600 and F 700 Series polypropylene pumps utilise our unique steel-cored inner tube. This gives our pumps unrivalled driveshaft and mechanical seal support, essential for extending service life. The steel core is over-moulded with polypropylene, thereby ensuring there is no contact with the pumped media. The steel core also enhances material stability at high temperatures.
The key difference between immersible and submersible pumps lies in the degree of submersion and the design features:
Vertical high-flow transfer pumps with mechanical seal.
Horizontal chemical pumps with mechanical seal.
Seal-less high-flow chemical and circulation pumps.
