Flux 600 TR Series chemical pump range delivers the powerful, reliable performance required for demanding tank and IBC transfer applications. Designed for extreme durability and chemical resistance, these chemical transfer and circulation pumps consequently excel in applications where safe fluid handling is critical. Whether you're working with corrosive chemicals, oils or waste water, these robust pumps are suitable for tough duty cycles and continuous operation.
Unlike most Flux Pumps, which are vertical, immersible designs, TR pumps feature a dry-installed configuration. They are primarily baseplate or floor mounted, for connection to low level tank, mixer or IBC outlet, via fixed pipework. However, these pumps can also be installed upright. Furthermore, they are available in polypropylene or stainless steel materials.
TR models utilise ceramic-oxide mechanical seals, for handling solids-entrained and abrasive media. These pumps use 3-phase electric motors ranging from 0.75 kW to 4 kW, depending on the application.
The F 620 S-30 TR chemical pump is constructed from stainless steel and provides flow rates up to 23 m3/hr and discharge pressure up to 12 mwc. It’s therefore an excellent choice for pumping aqueous chemicals, oil, diesel, wastewater, effluent and viscous media up to 2,500 mPas. This pump is available with an open impeller in either polypropylene or stainless steel materials. Open impellers are suitable for handling fluids containing a high proportion of solid, or fibrous particles.
The F 620 TR chemical transfer pump is suitable for a wide variety of media, including:

Transfer large liquid volumes from containers, tanks and open vessels with our F 640 series high-flow chemical transfer pumps. Two models are available – F 640 PP-30 TR and F 640–230 TR. Firstly, the PP-30 model with open impeller delivers a maximum flow rate of 29 m3/hr and discharge pressure up to 10 mwc. Meanwhile, the PP-230 TR has a larger 160 mm diameter closed impeller, thereby providing a maximum flow rate of 44 m3/hr and discharge pressure up to 33 mwc.
With a polypropylene body and hastelloy-C driveshaft, F 640 TR pumps are suitable for handling a wide range of corrosive chemicals, dilute acids, alkalis, aqueous solutions and waste streams. These pumps are generally mounted horizontally on a base plate, but can be installed vertically in fixed pipework if required. The PP-30 model comes with a choice of either threaded or flanged inlet/outlet connections and includes an open impeller for handling liquids containing solid particles.
F 640 TR chemical transfer pumps are suitable for a wide variety of media, including:
Chemical pump is a general term covering a range of different styles and types of pumps, for example, centrifugal shaft-driven pumps, centrifugal mag-drive pumps and air-operated diaphragm pumps. However, they share one key attribute: they have been designed to handle corrosive, chemically aggressive and potentially flammable liquids.
Furthermore, chemical pumps are typically suitable for handling acids, alkalis, sanitisers, disinfectants and some solvents. The main pump body and other structural components are usually constructed from advanced, chemically-resistant thermoplastics and fluoropolymer materials, such as polypropylene, PVDF, PVC, polyethylene and PTFE. In addition, immersed metallic components are typically titanium or Hastelloy-C. This is because stainless steel generally has limited resistance to concentrated acids and alkalis. Typical o-ring and elastomer materials may be FKM, EPDM or FFKM. Some ATEX-approved thermoplastic chemical pumps utilise conductive materials, thereby allowing them to be used in hazardous Ex-zoned areas.
Chemical transfer pumps are used to safely and efficiently move potentially corrosive or dangerous chemicals from a container (drum, IBC, tank or sump) to another container or process—such as from a storage tank to gas scrubbing equipment. In addition, they can be used for emptying sumps, bunds or pits. Furthermore, certain pump models can be used in continuous duty applications, such as re-circulation of chemicals required in plating and anodizing processes.
Because chemical transfer pumps are designed to handle corrosive or toxic liquids, they must be chemically resistant and durable to prevent leaks or contamination, thereby protecting operatives working nearby from exposure to chemicals that are hazardous to health.
Horizontal liquid transfer distance depends on several factors, including:
A well-designed and correctly specified chemical pump can move liquid thousands of metres, but the exact distance will vary depending on the factors listed above. The most important consideration is really the pump discharge pressure – the more pressure a pump can develop, the further the liquid can travel.
For transferring low viscosity chemicals, multi-stage centrifugal pumps (with more than one impeller), can be a good solution. However, for higher viscosity fluids, consider progressive cavity, piston and diaphragm pump designs.
