VISCOPOWER pumps work with these FLUX products.

York Fluid Controls Ltd. supplies industrial fluid-handling solutions by FLUX, which is notable for having invented the electric drum pump in 1950. The manufacturer also makes pumping solutions, such as the VISCOPOWER brand of progressive cavity pumps, which offer pure power for pumping fluids ranging from thin to high in viscosity.

Industrial applications and hygienic sectors rely on these portable pumps by FLUX, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, and cosmetics and personal care.

With positive displacement technology

VISCOPOWER progressive cavity pumps use positive displacement technology to pump liquid at a constant pressure with gentle handling and pulsation-free operation. Each of these units consists of only a few parts, which makes them fast and easy to use, service, dismantle, and clean. The two basic versions of this pump available from York Fluid Controls are an industrial version, for non-sanitary applications, and a hygienic version for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic use.

FLUX has also developed VISCOPOWER models for immersion into the liquid/tank, as well as for dry installation outside of the container. There are also ATEX-certified models for use in explosion-proof and classified areas, as well as FDA-approved pumps that have 3A certification and comply with both Directive (EC) 1935/2004 and the FDA CFR standard. The F570 model is fitted with a gearbox and uses the FLUX 4 series of electric and compressed-air motors. The F580 pump comes with a bearing flange and uses IEC and NEMA motors, of which the latter requires an adapter flange. For pumping product with particularly high viscosity, the VISCOPOWER series can be used in conjunction with VISCOFLUX drum-emptying systems to minimize product waste and optimize flow.

Among the technical specifications: flow rate of 52 litres per minute; pressure ratings of 145 (open seal) or 217 (closed seal) psig; viscosity of 100,000 centipoise; temperature range up to 120 degrees Celsius; electric and pneumatic motor options; and usability with 55-gallon drums, totes, or Intermediate Bulk Containers – otherwise to be used as a process pump in horizontal configuration. (All values are maximums and depend on pump model, liquid properties, and motor type.)
