A drum pump is a portable pump designed to safely and easily transfer liquids from drums, barrels, or containers. These containers usually hold 55 gallons (200 liters) of fluid. Instead of tilting or pouring the heavy container, a drum pump lets you pump out the liquid cleanly.

Drum pumps are used in many industries, including chemical processing, agriculture, food and beverage, and water treatment. They can handle:

  • various fluid viscosity
  • various types of fluids, such as mineral oils, acids (nitric acid, alkalis, hydrofluoric acid, chromic acid, etc.), detergents, and fertilizers.

How Does a Drum Pump Work?

A drum pump consists of three main parts — the motor, pump tube, and discharge hose. The pump tube is inserted into the drum’s opening, reaching near the bottom.

When the motor is turned on (either electric, air-driven, or manual), it drives an impeller or a rotor inside the pump tube. This motion creates suction, pulling the liquid up through the tube and out through the discharge spout or hose.

Some drum pumps use a centrifugal mechanism for thin fluids. Others use a positive displacement design for thicker fluids. The result is a controlled, spill-free, and ergonomic way to empty drums safely and efficiently.
