Flowrox™ FXM metering pumps

FXM pumps for accurate metering

Flowrox™ FXM metering pump is ideal for chemical dosing applications which require accurate metering. To optimise metering performance, we offer FXM2 and FXM3 series pumps with improved performance. As flow control specialists, we know it is a big advantage to have only one wear-resistant part (tube assembly) in contact with corrosive or abrasive mediums. Flowrox FXM pump has low consumption of spare parts, reduces maintenance and downtime, improves process performance and provides accurate dosing.

Benefits and features

Accurate and safe metering
Positive displacement provides same output on every cycle

Versatile system connectivity
Diverse programming options and controllability

Technically improved Utilizes latest technology for highest reliability

Improved performance

To optimise metering performance, we offer FXM2 and FXM3 series pumps with improved performance. Compared to the previous generation, FXM pumps have expanded logic programming and functionality and also higher capacity. Maximum flow of the FXM2 model reaches up to 176 l/hr (46.5 GPH) and FXM3 up to 840 l/hr (221.9 GPH). Working pressure of FXM2 goes up to 8.6 bar (125 psi) and FXM3 up to 4.5 bar (65 psi). They can also withstand fluid temperature up to 54° C (130° F). Combined with accurate metering and a selection of different tube materials, the FXM pumps are an ultimate choice for chemical dosing applications.

Both models, FXM2 and FXM3 pumps have a handle and are easy to carry.

Technical specifications

Reliability and safety improved

Accurate and reliable operation

Positive displacement of the tube bore with zero slip provides same output volume on every cycle. There is no variation due to the discharge pressure condition. The compression point of the tube acts as
self-cleaning check valve without clogging risk providing clear flow path with no possibility for vapour lock.

Benefits

Accurate and safe metering
Self-priming (up to 90 % of full vacuum)
Only the tube and tube fittings are in contact with the process medium
Serviceable rotor construction for ease of maintenance

Features

Versatile system connectivity, diverse programming options and controllability
Fully reversible operation
Dry run capability
Digital touchpad adjustment – precise and reliable
Wide selection of tube materials
Tube failure detection
NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosure
Available display languages: English, Finnish, French, German, Russian and Spanish

Technical improvements

New motor and control circuit: the pump runs accurately and smoothly also at lowest speed
Serviceable rotor construction: can be disassembled for maintenance
Field switchable power cord: easy to disconnect, no need to open pump casing
Operation adjustment through digital touchpad: precise and reliable performance
Modern digital technology for highest reliability
Contactless, external leak sensor for tube failure detection: the medium does not damage the sensor in case of a leak.
Bigger display: easier to read, fits more information
Pump has a handle: easy to carry

Ideal applications

Waste water/water treatment chemicals
Reagents for mining processes
Pulp & paper chemical metering
Various industrial chemical dosing duties
