Chemicals

The chemical industry processes media with a wide range of properties, from low-viscosity solvents to viscous dispersions and adhesives. Conveying systems must therefore be chemically resistant, provide precise dosing, and operate reliably—even in potentially explosive atmospheres. FLUX meets these requirements with drum pumps, eccentric screw pumps, compressed-air diaphragm pumps, and flow meters. For critical applications, ATEX-compliant explosion-protected versions and materials suitable for the specific media are available.

  • Drum Pumps for Acids, Alkalis, and Solvents
  • Explosion-protected versions in accordance with ATEX 2014/34/EU
  • Eccentric screw pumps for highly viscous media
  • Air-operated diaphragm pumps for aggressive chemicals
  • Precise dosing and filling with FLUXTRONIC®
