Electric drum pump for emptying drums and IBC containers

An electric drum pump or pneumatic pump is a lightweight, efficient and practical pump that generally consists of a pump tube and a motor. The motor can be electric or alternatively pneumatic. Manually operated drum pumps are also available.

Pump tube material options include PP, PVDF, aluminium and acid-resistant stainless steel. As a pump, a drum pump is intended for temporary or occasional pumping. However, an electric drum pump can also be installed quite permanently, for example with accessories available for drums.

An electric drum pump is suitable for occasional or temporary pumping. Typical applications include emptying drums and IBC containers, but other similar pumping needs are also natural applications for a drum pump. The pump is especially suitable for handling thin and medium-viscosity liquids. The pumped liquid can be either alkaline or acidic.

The pump tube can be changed to a tube made from another material according to the pumped liquid, while the same electric motor can be used. Some pump tube and motor options are also suitable for ATEX areas, which means they can be used in many different field conditions.

An electric drum pump is an excellent choice when pumping is temporary or occasional and the pump may need to be used in several different applications. Due to their light weight, drum pumps are easy to move from one application to another, making them effortless to use.

The pump tube can be changed to one made from another material if the pumped medium changes. The same electric motor can still be used, improving cost efficiency. Electric motors are also available with speed control when needed, making it easy to adjust the pumping. Our drum pumps are also available as versions suitable for ATEX areas, which further increases their versatility.

An electric drum pump can be equipped with different accessories to improve usability and reliability in several applications. Available accessories include, for example, a drum adapter, dispensing nozzle and electronic flow meter.

A high-quality electric drum pump offers many benefits to the user. This practical and easy-to-use pump is also lightweight to move, and it can be installed quickly in a new drum or IBC container. An electric drum pump can significantly improve working efficiency and comfort.
