With a rated power of 420 W, the new FBM 4100 battery motor from Flux, Germany, covers all areas of application of its mains-powered counterpart, and this with a total weight of only 2.8 kg including batteries. With pumps of the F 400 and F 570 progressive cavity pumps series, the motor is suitable for areas without a power outlet, e.g. in sectors such as construction, industry, food or agriculture, and is also resistant to corrosive media in chemistry or electroplating.
Patent-pending functions such as dry-run protection and programmable batch filling for metering predefined delivery quantities without a flowmeter expand the range of applications. An LCD display control allows the speed to be selected in 10% increments and up to 6 filling quantities to be programmed and called up as often as required.
With an optional adapter, the motor is compatible with pump units from other manufacturers, expanding their range of applications. The brushless, maintenance-free and highly efficient FBM 4100 motor achieves a delivery rate of up to 84 l/min in a typical drum pump configuration. In practical use with a hose and hand nozzle at 80% speed, one battery charge allows eleven 200-litre drums or 2.2 1000-litre IBCs to be emptied. Depending on the model, the scope of delivery includes the motor, two 18V, 4Ah Einhell PXC batteries, a twin charger and, optionally, an adapter for connecting drum pumps from other manufacturers. Special covers protect the batteries from splashing water and aggressive vapours. The portfolio also offers preconfigured sets with a pump, 2 m long delivery hose and hand nozzle. The battery m otor is available in IP24 with open cooling by ambient air and in a closed IP44 version with reduced performance.
