F426 Mixing Pump

The F426 Mixing Pump is specifically engineered to address the challenge of fluids that tend to separate or settle over time. Ideal for use in various industrial and chemical processing applications, the F426 uniquely offers dual capabilities—efficient pumping coupled with highly effective mixing. Its innovative design allows users to quickly and seamlessly shift between pumping and mixing modes, providing a flexible, all-in-one solution for liquids that require consistent agitation or gentle handling.

Industries utilizing emulsions, paints, inks, dispersions, suspensions, solvents, or other two-phase mixtures greatly benefit from the multifunctional capabilities of the F426 Mixing Pump. Available in robust material options, including stainless steel and polypropylene, the F426 addresses diverse operational demands while ensuring long-term durability and reliability, even in challenging environments.

Innovative Features of the F426 Mixing Pump

Versatile Operating Modes

The versatile F426 Mixing Pump provides three primary operating modes:

• Conveying: Standard pumping operation for fluid transfer.
• Conveying with Simultaneous Mixing: Allows constant agitation of liquids while pumping.
• Temporary Pure Mixing Operation: Operable as a mixer with the outlet closed (e.g., via a hand nozzle) for effective rehomogenization.

This versatility ensures the product remains thoroughly mixed, preventing settling, separation, and product inconsistency, thereby improving overall operational quality.

Efficient and User-Friendly Controls

Two intuitive control levers allow operators to effortlessly open or close the integrated mixing openings, quickly switching between pumping and mixing modes. These convenient controls significantly enhance operational efficiency and ensure precise adjustments during fluid handling processes.

Rapid and Effective Mixing

The pump features specially designed mixing openings that facilitate backflow into the container. This unique capability ensures the fluid is continuously and thoroughly mixed, significantly improving product consistency and quality, especially for products prone to separation or settling.

Key Features and Advantages

Robust Material Construction

Constructed from durable Polypropylene or Stainless Steel, the F426 Mixing Pump is capable of handling a wide range of viscosities from less than 1 up to 1200 cPs, making it highly adaptable for diverse applications and challenging operational environments. The stainless steel variant is suitable for hazardous environments, ensuring compliance with stringent safety requirements.

Reliable and Durable Mechanical Seal

The pump’s robust mechanical seal ensures leak-free operation, providing reliable performance even under continuous, demanding conditions. This increases operational safety and reduces downtime due to maintenance and repairs.
