Pumps and dispensing for totes, drums and more
For dispensing corrosives, flammables and solvents from a drum or tote, maintaining flow-control and minimizing drips and spills is key. That’s why we carry a number of pump systems designed for flammables and non-flammables – with safety features built in. Like explosion proofing, automatic shut-off, double insulation and grounding kits to eliminate sparks. Choose the power you need – .33 HP, .5 HP or .67 HP, some with accessories like pick-up tube, static hose protection kid and IPS adaptor. Consult the technical specifications to ensure that the pump you choose is right for the liquid you’re handling.

How do I minimize explosions when dispensing corrosives, solvents and flammables?
When using a drum pump system, a static hose protection kit must be used to ground the motor and eliminate static-generated sparks when pumping flammables. Air-powered motors also help to minimize risk and promote safety.
