F430 Tote Pump

The F430 Tote Pump is expertly engineered to facilitate efficient horizontal fluid transfer directly from Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), tanks, and other vessels equipped with low-level outlets. Specifically designed to address spatial constraints or situations where top-entry pumps cannot be used, the F430 Tote Pump provides reliable, flexible pumping capabilities for a wide range of media.

Its compact horizontal design allows seamless integration into restricted areas, enabling fluid transfer operations even in challenging or space-limited installations. Available in robust stainless steel or corrosion-resistant polypropylene, the F430 Tote Pump is suitable for diverse industrial environments and compatible with hazardous area applications when using the stainless steel version.

Innovative Features of the F430 Tote Pump

Horizontal Design for Low-Level Outlets

Unlike traditional vertical pumps, the F430 Tote Pump employs a horizontal configuration, specifically tailored for easy connection to bottom-outlet containers such as IBCs and tanks. This design ensures efficient fluid transfer even when container access from above is impractical or impossible.

Quick and Easy Disassembly

Designed for convenient cleaning and maintenance, the F430 Tote Pump easily disassembles into two main components. This practical feature significantly reduces downtime during routine cleaning or servicing operations, enhancing overall efficiency and operational hygiene.

Robust Mechanical Sealing

Featuring a robust mechanical seal, the F430 Tote Pump guarantees reliable and leak-free operation, even during temporary operation against closed valves (such as hand nozzles or ball valves). This advanced sealing technology ensures maximum protection against leakage and provides consistent operational reliability.

Versatile Material Options

The pump is offered in two highly durable construction materials: stainless steel, suitable for hazardous and corrosive environments, and polypropylene, ideal for aggressive chemical handling. Both materials ensure compatibility with a wide variety of industrial fluids, expanding operational flexibility across diverse sectors.

Flexible Motor Compatibility

The F430 Tote Pump seamlessly integrates with multiple motor types, including electric and compressed-air motors. This flexibility allows operators to select the optimal motor configuration according to specific operational or environmental needs, including compliance with hazardous area standards.

Compact Immersion Length

With an immersion length of just 8 inches (200 mm), the pump maintains a low-profile, compact design ideally suited for horizontal installations. This minimal size simplifies installation and enhances versatility in tight or confined operational spaces.

Safe Hazardous-Area Operation

The stainless steel variant of the F430 Tote Pump meets stringent safety requirements, ensuring safe, compliant fluid transfer within hazardous or explosive environments. This feature significantly expands the applicability of the pump across diverse industrial scenarios.
