Siphon Drum Pump

Product Overview

The Siphon Drum Pump is a rugged, mechanically driven device engineered for efficient liquid transfer from drums and intermediate containers using a controlled siphoning action. Constructed from durable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the unit supports reliable flow control and safe handling across a wide range of corrosive fluids, detergents, and mild solvents. The pump prevents the need for dangerous tipping of heavy drums, emphasizing low shear operation and enabling clean transfers with minimal spill risk.

With its straightforward manual operation, the Siphon Drum Pump supports precise metering during transfer via a top air-release vent. It includes adapters to fit standard 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums, making it a versatile tool for facility maintenance. The product is suitable for use in chemical transfer, dispensing, water treatment, and laboratory reagent handling, delivering predictable performance in bulk handling scenarios.

Common Applications

• Chemical Transfer: Safely transfers acids, alkalines, and detergents from storage drums to smaller containers without lifting.
• Fluid Dispensing: Enables accurate dispensing of liquids in manufacturing lines and automotive shops.
• Water Treatment: Transfers treatment chemicals like sodium hypochlorite or pH adjusters in environmental facilities.
• Janitorial & Maintenance: Ideal for dispensing bulk cleaning solutions, waxes, and soaps.
• Laboratory Use: Suitable for transferring bulk reagents where electric pumps may be impractical.

Safety Precautions

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear PPE appropriate for the chemical being transferred, including chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles.
• Compatibility Check: Verify the chemical compatibility of the liquid with Polyethylene (HDPE) prior to use. Not recommended for strong solvents (like acetone or MEK) or hot fluids.
• Static Electricity: If pumping flammable liquids (where compatible), ensure proper bonding and grounding techniques are used to prevent static discharge.
• Storage: Drain pump completely and rinse with water after use to prevent chemical crystallization or degradation of the tubing. Store in a cool, dry location.

Benefits

Versatile Fitment – Includes adapters for both 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums, reducing equipment redundancy.
Chemical Resistance – HDPE construction resists corrosion from a wide range of industrial acids and bases.
User Safety – Eliminates the need to lift or tip heavy drums, reducing back strain and splash hazards.
Flow Control – Integrated air vent allows the user to stop the siphon flow instantly to prevent overfilling.
