Safe and precise refueling with specialty fuels

Ex Drum Pump for Safe, Precise Fuel
Dispensing: Vehicles are refueled with specialty fuels from 200-liter drums – using the FP 425 Ex drum pump, the FMC 100 flow meter, and a semi-automatic volume control system ensures this is done precisely and safely.

The challenge

For component testing, vehicles are refueled with various specialty fuels from drums. This requires precise dosing, safe handling, and reproducible filling processes.

Explosion protection required

Highly flammable fuels require safe handling in areas at risk of explosion.

Precise dosing

Different test conditions require precisely defined fill quantities for each vehicle.

Avoid leftover quantities

Incomplete emptying leads to product loss and increased cleaning effort.

The solution:

FP 425 Ex Drum Pump for 99.98% residual and drum emptying

The FP 425 Ex drum pump, made of stainless steel, is designed to transfer low-viscosity and flammable fuels in hazardous areas. When combined with the FMC 100 flow meter and FLUXTRONIC®, it enables semi-automatic, volume-precise filling. A backflow preventer prevents the medium from flowing back and ensures 99.98% drum emptying with minimal residual quantities.
