About Barrel/ Drum Pump
Available with Standard Motors, Flame Proof Motors & Air Motors.
It use a motor to drive a pump (like an impeller or rotor) at the end of an immersion tube, which is submerged in the liquid, to transfer fluids from barrels or containers.
Efficient Chemical & Oil Drum TransferEngineered for rapid and safe transfer of a variety of fluids, including acids, alkalis, and oils, this barrel pump delivers a flow rate of 30-60 L/min and supports a head size of up to 8 meters. Its centrifugal, single-stage design maximizes performance for 200L drums, making it the preferred choice in industrial environments requiring reliable liquid movement.
Durable & Corrosion-Resistant BuildBuilt from high-quality Polypropylene and Stainless Steel, the pump is both lightweight and corrosion-resistant. These material choices ensure long-term durability and minimize maintenance, even when exposed to aggressive chemicals. Its compact design and IP44 motor protection make it suitable for outdoor or indoor use in demanding environments.
Simple Operation & Reliable SafetyFeaturing a manual control system and self-priming capability, this drum pump is user-friendly and safe. Operation is intuitive, requiring only a simple switch to start or stop. With an integrated mechanical seal and open impeller, fluid transfer is smooth while minimizing leakage risks, enhancing safety during chemical handling.
FAQ's of Barrel/ Drum Pump:
Q: How do I install and operate the barrel/drum pump?
A: To install the pump, securely mount it on a 200L standard drum and connect the power supply (220V/50Hz). Insert the tube fully (1000 mm length) into the drum, ensure the cable is appropriately connected (2 meters provided), and operate the manual switch to begin transferring fluids. Always follow safety guidelines during operation.
Q: What types of fluids can this pump safely transfer?
A: This pump is designed for the safe transfer of acids, alkalis, oils, solvents, and various chemicals. Its robust Polypropylene and Stainless Steel construction, along with a mechanical seal and open impeller, ensure compatibility with a wide range of aggressive and corrosive substances commonly used in industrial settings.
Q: When should I use this pump over other pumping solutions?
A: This pump is ideal when you need to transfer moderate volumes (30-60 L/min) from 200L standard drums, particularly with corrosive or hazardous fluids. Its self-priming feature and corrosion-resistant materials make it superior for environments where chemical exposure is common and safe, spill-free operation is a priority.
Q: Where can this drum pump be used effectively?
A: The pump's lightweight, portable design and IP44-rated motor make it suitable for use in factories, chemical processing facilities, workshops, or laboratories. Its corrosion-resistant build allows for both indoor and sheltered outdoor applications, provided temperatures are within 0C to 60C.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this drum pump?
A: Key advantages include efficient, spill-free fluid transfer, minimized maintenance thanks to corrosion-resistant materials, low noise operation (less than 70 dB), and ease of portability. Its robust mechanical sealing and self-priming capability enhance safety and convenience for frequent drum transfers.
Q: How does the self-priming vertical suction system work?
A: The self-priming design allows the pump to automatically draw fluids up to 2.5 meters without manual intervention. Simply start the pump and it will begin to transfer liquid through vertical suction, streamlining the process and minimizing downtime during drum changeover.
Q: What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
A: Regularly inspect the mechanical seal and impeller for wear, check for residue build-up, and ensure connections are secure. Clean the pump after each transfer of different chemicals to prevent cross-contamination and prolong component lifespan. Electrical safety checks should be performed periodically.
