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 materials with broad chemical compatibility, the unit supports reliable flow control and safe handling across a wide range of solvents and process fluids. Typical pump materials include HDPE and stainless steel compatible components, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding industrial environments. The design emphasizes low shear operation and compatibility with common liquids, enabling clean transfers with minimal air ingress and spill risk.

With its straightforward manual operation, the Siphon Drum Pump supports precise metering during transfer, reduces the need for complex equipment, and enhances site safety by limiting manual handling hazards. The product is suitable for use in chemical transfer, dispensing, water treatment, laboratory reagent handling, and fuel transfer applications, delivering predictable performance in bulk handling scenarios. Comprehensive SDS and TDS data accompany the product to support qualification, regulatory compliance, and safe, traceable operations in industrial facilities.

Safety Precautions

Handling and storage should follow established industrial hygiene practices. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, and ensure compatibility with materials such as HDPE and stainless steel. Use appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles, and ensure adequate ventilation to avoid vapor buildup. Follow standard operating procedures to minimize spills during transfer and to maintain containment perimeter integrity.

Emergency and exposure guidance: In case of exposure or contact with the eyes or skin, follow SDS-recommended procedures and seek medical attention if irritation persists. The SDS indicates flammable liquid and vapor (H225) and eye irritation (H319); ensure ignition sources are controlled and evacuate the area if a spill or vapor cloud occurs. Transport and handling should comply with UN 1230 isopropanol classification and related regulatory requirements. Have eyewash stations and emergency showers accessible within the work area.
