Drum Pumps
A drum pump is a portable pump made of a pump tube inserted from above into drums, IBCs and tanks and a motor fitted on top, emptying liquid safely from the container.
It is used to transfer chemicals, acids, solvents, oils and food liquids from drums and IBCs. The product range includes 1000 mm PP, PVDF and AISI 316 tubes, fixed and variable speed 825 W motors and a lever-operated metal pump.
Main Applications
- Chemical drum emptying
- IBC tank transfer
- Acid and alkali transfer
- Oil and solvent transfer
- Food liquids (depending on model)
Technical Data
| Pump type | Electric drum pump (tube + motor) |
|---|---|
| Max. flow | 112 l/min |
| Head | Up to 16 m |
| Immersion length | 1000 mm (standard) |
| Tube material | PP, PVDF or AISI 316 stainless |
| Shaft | Hastelloy C (2.4610) – on PVDF model |
| Motor | 825 W; fixed or variable speed |
| Protection | IP24, double-insulated motor |
| Connection | G 1¼” / 1″ hose |
Material Options
| Part | PP tube | PVDF tube | AISI 316 tube |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suitable fluid | Acids, alkalis, aqueous solutions | Aggressive acids, oxidisers | Solvents, oils, food (depending on model) |
| Temperature | Lower (PP) | Higher | Depending on model |
| Shaft | Depending on model | Hastelloy C | Depending on model |
| Typical use | General chemicals | Strong acids | Non-flammable solvents |
Which material? Tube material is chosen for the transferred liquid; flammable liquids need an explosion-proof motor and a conductive tube. Flow, tube and motor data are based on the drum pump sheet.
