A drum pump is placed on the upper opening of a drum or barrel to extract and transfer liquids, which eliminates the need to pivot or tip the container. Typically, the pump mechanism uses centrifugal force with an impeller inside the drum or barrel. The electric or air motor that powers the pump sits outside or above the drum, ensuring efficient operation.
Drum pumps find wide use across various industries, such as chemical processing, food production, and automotive workshops. They provide a safer, more convenient way to transfer liquids from storage containers. Drum barrel pumps come in different designs, making it easy to choose the right one for various liquids and applications.
An electric barrel pump offers the added benefit of being powered entirely by electricity, which removes the need for compressed air. Consequently, these pumps are more energy-efficient and highly suitable for handling a range of liquid types.
Furthermore, a well-designed drum pump supply system can greatly optimise fluid handling in industrial settings. These systems offer customisable solutions to meet specific application needs.
