Precision pumping provides a racing edge
Team Veloqx has used a precision pumping and measurement system from Flux Pumps to improve the accuracy of fuel and race management.
The FBM 4000 Ex motor is initially available in a 230V, 560W version within an aluminium housing proven in Flux's F 460 Ex series pump motor.
It is approved to ATEX 100a for use in explosive environments.
For added safety there is an integral no-voltage release.
The new motor is designed for compatibility with ATEX 100a approved pumps in Flux's range, including the F 424 sealless pump, a maintenance-free solution for handling abrasive and aggressive media; the F 430 which handles a variety of media, including paints, adhesives and materials which tend to crystallise or harden, leaving virtually no residue; and the F 550 GS eccentric worm drive pump which provides a lightweight solution for transferring liquids with viscosities up to 30 000mPas, and provides excellent price/performance for fine chemicals, pharmaceutical and petrochemical applications.
