Paints & Lacquers

In paint and coating production, viscosity, media compatibility, and process reliability are key to ensuring consistent quality. Filling, decanting, and emptying are particularly critical, as solvents, dispersions, and viscous products place different demands on conveying technology. FLUX drum pumps, eccentric screw pumps, and compressed-air diaphragm pumps handle everything from low-viscosity to highly viscous media. For flammable media, ATEX-compliant, explosion-proof models are available.

  • Drum Pumps for Solvents and Paints
  • ATEX-compliant explosion-proof versions
  • For low-viscosity to high-viscosity media
  • Media-compatible materials for critical substances
  • Suitable for filling and decanting
