The Flux F550GS Eccentric Worm Drive Barrel Pump comes with planetary gears and is designed for transferring low to high viscosity products up to 30,000cP, as long as the product is free flowing. The progressive cavity style design of this drum pump ensures a smooth pumping action with little disturbance to the pumped product. The stator is available in a variety of materials and sealing options include mechanical seal or stuffing box, which makes the F550GS Flux barrel pumps suitable for many applications.

Grease Transfer for Offshore Wind Turbine Installer - Barrel Pump

Castle Pumps' experience supplying to a range of different markets means that they have detailed knowledge on certain industry requirements. For example, in this case study the customer requested a barrel pump for grease. However, due to being used within a marine environment, Castle Pumps knew that the materials needed to be corrosion resistant and therefore a stainless steel tube set was supplied.
