Drum and container pumps are used to transfer liquids safely and cleanly from drums, barrels and IBCs. We offer pump sets and components for low-viscosity liquids as well as aggressive and flammable chemicals, based on a modular concept – the same drive motor can be used with different pump tubes. This keeps handling simple, reduces changeover time and makes the system easy to move from container to container.
We support FLUX®-type drum and container pumps, progressive cavity drum pumps and a full range of motors (commutator, brushless and compressed air) to suit different applications.
Drum pumps are designed to empty 200 L drums and similar containers quickly and cleanly. They are ideal for thin to medium viscosity liquids such as chemicals, solvents, cleaning agents, light oils and water-based media. The pump tube is inserted directly into the drum, and the pump is driven by a matching electric or pneumatic motor.
These pumps cover a wider range – from standard 200 L drums up to IBCs and other larger containers. They are suitable where you need more flow or have many container types on site. With the right combination of tube material and motor, they can handle corrosive, flammable and hygienic products.
Progressive cavity drum pumps (similar to FLUX VISCOPOWER) are used where liquids are more viscous, shear-sensitive or contain small solids. They work as positive displacement pumps and move the product gently with low pulsation. Typical applications include oils, gels, creams, pastes and other thicker media.
Commutator motors are compact electric motors that offer variable speed control and are easy to handle – often with a simple on/off switch and speed knob. They are suitable for general drum and container transfer where standard electric power is available and frequent start/stop and flow adjustment is required.
Brushless motors run without carbon brushes, so they are largely maintenance-free and have very low wear. They are especially useful where the pump has to run continuously or at high start frequency, and where low noise is required.
Compressed air motors are used where pneumatic operation is preferred – for example, in hazardous areas or when transferring flammable liquids. When combined with drum and container pumps, they give a very lightweight and powerful pump set, with speed easily controlled by the air supply.

based on your fluid, viscosity, temperature, container and area classification (normal or ATEX).
