Barrel Pumps

A barrel pump or also commonly known as a piston pump are typically air operated or electrically operated positive displacement pumps. They are ideal for transferring a vast range of materials from barrels, drums or IBC units directly into your process or enable you to dispense safely from.

  • Simple to operate and easy maintenance
  • Run Dry capabilities
  • Large range of materials to suit varying applications
  • Hygienic options available
  • Spare parts available
explore the full benefits BRANDS WE SUPPLY

Barrel pumps are a positive displacement piston pump that traditionally uses compressed air as its power source, however these pumps are also available as an electric operated unit. As the air piston moves upward, the pump piston also moves upward, causing the barrel chamber under the pump piston to fill with fluid. When the air piston makes a downstroke, the pump piston also makes a downstroke, transferring the production fluid in the pump barrel to your required point of discharge.

 

These barrel pumps are also available as Drum and bin unloaders to evacuate viscous materials out of containers, such as IBC units. This process is highly efficient and allows a fast change of containers. This results in a minimized downtime on your production time. While being able to empty up to 99% of the material from the container, they have a one size follower plate and seal to accommodate straight-sided and tapered drums.
