Drum pump

Versatile, reliable drum pump designs

For low viscosity applications, consider either the light-duty F 300 series, or heavy-duty F 400 series, depending on your desired flow rate, discharge pressure, duty cycle and application requirements. Both series feature axial impeller designs as standard, for smooth, pulsation-free pumping action.

Note that all Flux barrel pumps are suitable for continuous duty applications. 

F 300 Series

Light, portable F 300 series pumps are primarily used for dispensing from smaller containers 70 litres in size, however, longer models are available for use in drums and IBC’s. These pumps are powered by either compact electric motors (select 110 V or 230 V power supply), or a brushless battery powered motor. Furthermore, choose from polypropylene, PVDF or stainless steel pump 316 tubes. 

400 Series Barrel Pump

F 400 Series

F 400 series pumps are designed for high flow and high pressure drum, IBC and tank transfer applications. They are available in polypropylene, PVDF, stainless steel 316, aluminium or Hastelloy C materials, with a choice of axial or semi-axial impeller designs. These pumps are powered by a choice of electric, battery or compressed air motors and can be used to transfer food products, flammable fuels, solvents and high density acids / alkalis.  

F 400 pumps are available in many lengths, configurations and styles, to suit almost any tank, drum or IBC transfer or mixing application. 

F 500 Series

F 500 series progressive cavity pumps are the ideal solution for dispensing difficult, high viscosity materials such as jam, peanut butter, tomato paste, epoxy resin or paint, from drums or IBC containers. These portable pumps are constructed from stainless steel 316. Food grade and ATEX options are available. Single-phase electric, three-phase electric and compressed air motor options are available to power F 500 Series pumps.

*The maximum delivery rate is a test bench value, measured with water at 20 °C at the pressure port of the pump, without accessories (hose, nozzle, flow meter). The practically achievable delivery rate is lower. It depends on the individual application, the fluid properties and the pump configuration. Please refer to technical data sheets / performance diagrams.

Drum pumps - FAQs

A drum pump is a portable device designed to safely and efficiently empty drums, barrels & and IBCs with controlled flow and minimal spill risk.

Drum and barrel pumps draw liquid from the bottom of the container using either manual suction or powered centrifugal, or positive‑displacement mechanisms.

A pneumatic drum pump uses compressed air to drive high-speed vane motor, making it ideal for handling flammable liquids in Ex-zoned areas. Discover full guidance and ATEX insights over in our handy article here.
