All performance values are application-dependent. The final design is determined based on the medium, viscosity, temperature, drum geometry, and desired delivery distance.
Operation and Performance Control
Motor protection switch or frequency converter: The control system is selected based on the required conveying capacity and integration into the process. Both options are mounted directly on the mobile system.
The motor protection switch is used to switch the motor on and off at a fixed motor speed.
- Direct and simple operation at the system
- Fixed motor speed
- Suitable for applications requiring a constant flow rate
- Protection and isolation via the main switch
The frequency inverter enables the motor to be started and stopped and its speed to be adjusted to suit the fluid and process.
- Infinitely variable motor speed adjustment
- Start and stop directly from the control panel
- Can be combined with an optional limit switch
- External start/stop function available for automated processes
Also pumps media that do not flow on their own
VISCOFLUX mobile HF was developed for applications in which high-viscosity media need to be pumped more quickly from 200-liter drums.
Tomato paste
Example value: approx. 50 l/min with a motor protection switch.
Caramel Paste
Depending on the configuration, flow rates of up to 70 l/min are possible.
Creams and Pastes
Low speeds for gentle handling.
Drums with liners
Small residual quantities, even with aseptic bags.
