Flux-Geräte expands Viscoflux range

Industrial version of the Viscoflux mobile system.
Industrial version of the Viscoflux mobile system.

Viscoflux mobile is a stand-alone system which features the Viscoflux mobile drum emptying system which is designed to transports substances that are not free-flowing using the negative pressure created by an eccentric worm pump. The follower plate is automatically pulled down, hermetically sealing off the material to be transported. In this way, it helps ensure reliability even if the transferring process is interrupted. The flexible sealing lip system means that almost no material remains at the drum wall and the drum is emptied almost completely, leaving less than 1% residue (up to less than 2% in the case of aseptic bags). Flux-Geräte's Viscoflux mobile has a mobile lifting device and a unit composed of motor, pump and follower plate which can be designed for each application. It can be transported without the help of a crane or fork-lift truck and has a compact design. It is suitable for the transfer of materials such as coating and casting compounds, paste-like substances, varnishes and fillers  for two drum diameters (560 mm and 571 mm). On request, the system may be configured for other containers and drum diameters.The Pharma Food Cosmetic version of the Viscoflux mobile is a drum emptying system for high-viscosity fluids such as creams, ointment bases, tomato puree, condiment pastes and fruit sauces. The pumping unit with motor, pump and follower plate is easy to clean and various stainless steel components make the lifting system also resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. The double-lip variant is suitable also for conicaldrums, including with aseptic bags. The Pharma Food Cosmetic version is available for drum diameters of 560 mm and 571 mm and for conical drums with diameters of 550 mm at the top and 515 mm at the bottom.
