What are drum pumps used for?

Drum pumps are the workhorses for safely and efficiently transferring liquids from drums and containers. They handle hazardous liquids, chemicals, oils, and more, making them ideal when tilting a drum is impractical or risky.

What types of drum pumps are available?

Drum pumps come in three main categories to suit your specific needs. Manual drum pumps are ideal for smaller volume transfers or lower viscosity liquids, as they are operated by hand. Electric drum pumps offer a faster pumping solution for higher-viscosity liquids due to their electric power source. Finally, pneumatic drum pumps are the perfect choice for flammable liquids or hazardous environments, leveraging compressed air for operation.

How do I choose the right drum pump?

The perfect pump depends on several factors, including the type of liquid (viscosity and flammability), the volume you need to transfer, how often you'll use the pump, and your budget. If you need help in selecting the correct drum pump please get in touch with us.

What safety features are important?

When selecting a drum pump, prioritizing safety is paramount. The first consideration is material compatibility. Ensure the pump's construction materials won't react with the liquids you'll transfer. This prevents potential damage to the pump or contamination of your liquids. Choose a pump with explosion-proof features for flammable liquids to minimize the risk of ignition from sparks or static electricity. Additionally, look for pumps with earthing cables. These cables help prevent static build-up, which could also be a fire hazard. Finally, secure and proper fitting adapters for your drum bungs are essential. Leak-free operation ensures safety and prevents spills in your workplace.

How do I use a drum pump?

While specifics vary by model, here's a general guide on drum pumps. First, attach the pump to the drum bung using the appropriate adapter. Then, prime the pump if necessary while following the manufacturer's instructions. Position the discharge hose over the desired container and begin pumping the liquid. Once finished, stop pumping and remove the pump from the drum.

How do I maintain a drum pump?

Regular maintenance is key for safe and efficient operation. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning and maintenance procedures. This may involve cleaning the pump after each use and lubricating moving parts periodically.

Can drum pumps handle thick liquids?

Absolutely! Drum pumps designed explicitly for high-viscosity liquids like coolants or adhesives exist. These pumps typically use a different pumping mechanism than those designed for lower viscosities.

What are double diaphragm pumps?

Double diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pumps that use a diaphragm to move the liquid. They're well-suited for handling viscous liquids, abrasive liquids, and even media-containing solids.

Can I use a drum pump in a hazardous area?

Yes, some drum pumps are designed specifically for hazardous areas. These pumps will have explosion-proof features to prevent sparks or ignition.

Where can I find more information about drum pumps?

The manufacturer's website or instruction manual for your specific drum pump will provide detailed information on its operation and maintenance. You can also find helpful resources online about different types of drum pumps and their applications.

What are pumps used for?

It is often necessary to make a tailor-made filling of hazardous substances - for example, from a large container into a smaller one. Especially with large containers, it is impossible to tilt the drum without risking a spill.
