Engineered in an injection-molded version, this pump is built for efficiency, reliability, and adaptability across a range of industries. Whether dealing with low to high viscosity media, abrasive substances, highly flammable liquids, or fluids with high gas content, the FDM 12 ensures optimal performance. With dry-run protection and the ability to operate fully submerged, this pump is ideal for diverse operational environments.

Key Features of FLUX FDM 12

Self-Priming and Dry-Run Protection

One of the standout benefits of the FLUX FDM 12 is its self-priming capability, which allows the pump to function seamlessly, even from a dry start. Unlike conventional pumps that require pre-filling, the FDM 12 eliminates downtime and enhances efficiency. Additionally, the pump is designed to operate without damage even when running dry, making it an excellent choice for applications where fluid supply might be inconsistent.

Variable Delivery and Infinite Adjustability

The FDM 12 pump offers precise control over flow rates by adjusting air pressure. This eliminates the need for additional bypass control mechanisms, allowing for infinitely adjustable operation that adapts to various process requirements. This makes the pump suitable for industries requiring precision fluid handling, such as pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, and manufacturing.

Robust and Maintenance-Friendly Design

• Constructed from durable materials, the FDM 12 is designed for long service life with minimal wear.
• The oil-free operation ensures a cleaner working environment, reducing maintenance and contamination risks.
• A service-friendly design allows for easy disassembly and maintenance, minimizing downtime.
• The unbalanced air valve design prevents stalling, ensuring smooth and consistent performance.
