A drum pump is primarily used to pump fluids from drums or containers. The transfer pumps, which are either mobile but also stationary, are suitable for almost all medium whether viscous or slightly viscous (max. 1,000 mPas), neutral or aggressive, combustible or not highly flammable, with or without solids.
With the shown principle of a drum pump, our most powerful universal motor (JP-280 with 825 Watt) can be used to transport all low-viscous to medium-viscous liquids from drums and containers.
For the drum pump based on the principle of the centrifugal pump, the absolute limit range for the viscosity is about 1,000 mPas. If the medium is more viscous, the use of an eccentric screw drum pump or a air operated diaphragm pump is recommended.
In addition, you can use the JP-280 engine to pump all media up to a maximum density of 1.9. Our drum pump, for example, has transferred significantly more than 30 liters per minute and has a discharge height of 8 m for a customer with 96% sulfuric acid.
Depending on the medium used, our customers or our sales representatives can choose between four different pump tube materials when selecting a drum pump: Polypropylene, PVDF, aluminum and stainless steel 316Ti. The exact medium, the application temperature and the environment are decisive for the selection of the appropriate pump material.
The plastics polypropylene and PVDF are used in the drum pump range for neutral, aggressive and non combustible media, in particular for acids, alkalis and cleaning agents.
A drum pump made of polypropylene can be used for nearly all standard chemicals in the chemical or electroplating industry up to a temperature of 50°C.
Our drum pumps from PP are sold every day for media such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, lightly concentrated sulfuric acid, iron-II-chloride, iron-III-chloride, etc. Only if a high aggressive media such as sulfuric acid over 90%, chromic acid, hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid, is pumped the pump tube of the drum pump must be made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride). This highly chemical-resistant pumping material can also be used up to a medium temperature of 90°C.
In the petroleum sector as well as in the automotive industry, drum pumps made of aluminum are mainly required for pumping diesel, gear oil, heating oil, hydraulic oil, machine oil, mineral oils and motor oil, etc.
With a drum pump like the JP-280 Alu 1,000 Set, you can pump all low-viscous, medium-viscous, non-combustible mineral oil products up to a maximum viscosity of 1,000 mPas from balloons, canisters, 200 liter drums or 1,000 liters/IBC containers.
Our hand pumps JP-03 and JP-04 blue, which can be used for nearly all containers due to their 2″ thread as well as the optional threaded adapters, have proven themselves in the sector of the automotive industry or the petroleum industry.
Hand pumps are always an alternative to an electric or air operated drum pump if only small quantities are taken from drums or canisters or the customer would only use an electric drum pump occasionally.
In addition to the materials mentioned, our production program of drum pumps is complemented by pumps made of stainless steel 316Ti. These high-quality and conductive pumps have proven to be useful in pumping of highly flammable liquids as well as in explosive environments as well as in the food industry and in the pharmaceutical industry.
Due to the conductivity and the type examination certificate for the Ex Zone 0, the pump tube made of stainless steel are used especially for combustible media such as solvents, alcohol, fuels or thinly liquid paints and varnishes.
The electric motors of our drum pump are also equipped with a over load protection switch with integrated low voltage release which prevents the pump from re-starting after a voltage drop.
Of course, we can also supply the electric motors for the external control via a control cabinet without the function of a low voltage release. You can also adjust the pumping capacity of the drum pumps by means of an optional speed control and the air operated motors via the compressed air supply.
As you have seen, you will find the right drum pump for almost every application at JESSBERGER. Whether as a drum pump for a 200 liter drum or container pump for an IBC container: Our pumps are always optimal adapted to the media resistance as well as the density and viscosity of your media.
