When it comes to choosing a drum pump, it’s all about compatibility with the liquids you will be dispensing – from water and light oils to harsh chemicals, acids, corrosives and flammables. Whether you are looking for a manual siphon, piston or hand transfer pump or an electric-, air-, or battery-operated pump, we have a drum pump to fit your application. Self Priming pumps, plating pumps, horizontal pumps, vertical pumps, or any name they may go by, we have them available in CPVC, 316SS, Polypro and Kynar, the pumps are corrosion resistant and self-priming. They are available in assorted tube lengths and air motors are also available.
Drum pumps or plating pumps are hand-operated, electric-powered, or air-powered devices that suction fluids out of drums, barrels, pails, and intermediate bulk containers (also known as IBCs or totes). They reduce the risk of spills and minimize product waste by allowing fluid to be removed from containers that are too heavy or large to be tipped over for pouring. The intake hose or tube of a drum pump fits through the opening of a container to the bottom of the drum to dip into the fluid within. The drum pump’s pumping mechanism draws fluid through the intake and discharges it from the pump’s outlet. The parts of the pump in contact with fluids being pumped should be compatible to avoid damaging the pump or contaminating pumped fluids. Both horizontal and vertical drum pumps are commonly used in agriculture, manufacturing, sanitation, and fleet maintenance operations for dispensing fuels or other fluids and transferring fluids to smaller containers.
