Masters of Viscous Materials: The FLUX F560 Sanitary Progressive Cavity Pumps

Posted on by Sara Springer

If you manufacture it, chances are a FLUX® Pump can handle it. Most foodstuffs including Corn syrup, pancake batter, and yellow mustard are all easily transferred through these pumps.

FLUX® progressive cavity pumps (also referred to as eccentric worm-drive pumps) cover a wide range of viscosity. From thin, free-flowing liquids like fruit concentrates to thick products like cream & lotions. A big advantage is the smooth flow and gentle handling required, especially when pumping shear-sensitive products. Based on your application requirements, FLUX® offers sanitary versions in horizontal configurations with 3A Certification or FDA-compliant materials of construction.

Available in 3 versions, FLUX® can provide the pump you need for your specific application. Features of these pumps vary, details include:
