Electric pump systems for drums and IBCs are designed to safely transfer chemicals from barrels, containers, and IBC totes into production processes.
ARO offers two proven electric solutions for chemical transfer: electric IBC tote pumps like the ePRO100 drum pump, and electric double diaphragm pumps like the EVO Series™ 200.
These barrel pumps, container pumps, and barrel transfer systems help manufacturers improve safety, reliability, and energy efficiency.

What electric pump technology fits your chemical transfer application?

Choosing between a drum pump and a diaphragm pump depends on how and where the transfer occurs.

How do you ensure chemical compatibility and operator safety?

Chemical compatibility and safety are top buying concerns.

ARO ePRO100 advantages

  • Available pump tubes in PP, PVDF, aluminum, and stainless steel
  • Drive shafts in stainless steel or Hastelloy C‑4
  • Both seal‑less and mechanically sealed design options for aggressive, low‑viscosity chemicals
  • Optional low‑voltage release prevents uncontrolled restart
  • Speed reducer as an option to control flows, ideal for small batch transfers
  • Continuous duty motors up to 850 W

ARO EVO Series™ 200 advantages

  • Metallic and non‑metallic fluid sections
  • Secondary containment for leak prevention
  • Optional electronic leak detection
  • ISO 12100 design and CE compliant

What performance data matters when transferring chemicals?

Key decision criteria include flow rate, viscosity, temperature, and pressure.

ePRO100 Electric Drum Pump – Key Data

  • Flow rate: up to 140 L/min (37 gpm)
  • Immersion depth: up to 1,200 mm (47 in)
  • Viscosity: up to 800 mPas
  • Temperature: up to 80°C (176°F) (up to 100°C (212°F) for stainless steel pumps)
  • Continuous duty electric motors: 520 W or 850 W

EVO Series™ 200 – Key Data

  • Flow rate: up to 149 L/min (39 gpm)
  • Pump size: 1 in
  • Maximum pressure: up to 13.1 bar (190 psig)
  • Motor power: 1.5 kW (2 HP)
  • Electric operation without compressed air
  • Lower energy use than air‑operated diaphragm pumps
  • Suitable for hazardous environments (ATEX)
