Flux - Flux F560-S3 high viscosity pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring thick sauces, pastes, and purees in food production.
• Moving viscous dairy products such as yoghurts and creams.
• Handling confectionery ingredients like chocolate or caramel.
• Pumping fruit preparations and fillings for bakery products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of high-viscosity pump, capacities typically range from 100 to 5,000 litres per hour, depending on the specific impeller and motor configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller models might operate on 230V, 1-phase.

Viscosity handling

Designed to manage liquids with viscosities up to approximately 100,000 mPas, suitable for very thick food products.

Materials of construction

Sanitary high-viscosity pumps typically feature wetted parts made from 316L stainless steel, ensuring compliance with food contact regulations.

Mobility

Being on a mobile skid, this unit offers flexibility for use in various locations within a processing facility.

Pump type

High-viscosity pumps like the F560-S3 are often positive displacement pumps, such as eccentric screw or progressive cavity designs, for gentle product handling.
