Hygienic Drum Pumps
Hygienic Drum Pumps
Hygienic drum pumps for all viscosities and all drums & tanks
Our range of drum pumps are suitable for barrels, IBCs, Eurobins, totes, mixers etc. and we can pump any fluid from water to concentrated tomato paste from any drum, tank or vessel.

What type of drum or vessel do you need to pump from?
Drum pumps for tight lid drums with ‘bungholes’
Drum or ‘stick’ pumps that are inserted into drums with ‘bungholes’ for pumping low viscosity fluids.
Drum pumps for open top drums with conical or parallel sides
Pump high viscosity fluids and non-flowing media from open top drums with or without liners.
IBC pumps for intermediate bulk containers
Solutions for pumping flowing or semi-flowing fluids from an IBC via top or bottom outlets.
Pumps for Eurobins and tote bins
Pump out of open-top Eurobins and tote bins – even highly viscous media.
Pumps for open top IBCs and bulk crates
Unload large bulk IBCs, tanks and crates in minutes (with or without liners) with a bespoke system.
Pumps for open top industrial mixer bowls
Pump viscous mixtures like dough directly from your open top mixing bowl.
Drum pumps for drums with ‘bunghole’ lids
Low viscosity liquids and self-levelling fluids are commonly transported and stored in drums with a bunghole located in the lid.
This allows for a drum pump or suction lance to be inserted into the bunghole without removing the lid. These ‘stick’ drum pumps can also be easily used on open top drums, tanks and other containers.
Centrifugal Drum Pumps
Centrifugal type drum pumps are suitable for low-viscosity, easy-flowing fluids up to a maximum viscosity of 1,000 centipoise.
Typical Applications
- Juices
- Beer, whisky, alcohols
- Food oils
- Concentrates
- Personal Care Products
- Pharmaceuticals
- Cosmetic Fragrances
Progressive Cavity Drum Pumps
Progressive cavity (or screw rotor & stator) type drum pumps are suitable for viscous fluids from 1,000 to 100,000 centipoise.
Typical Applications
- Juices
- Chocolate
- Tomato Paste
- Pie Fillings
- Lotions
- Shampoo
Diaphragm Pumps for Drums
Air operated diaphragm pumps used with a suction hose or lance can be a very effective way to pump both thin & thick fluids.
Typical Applications
- Juices
- Oils
- Chopped Tomato
- Concentrates
- Alcohol
- Personal Care Products
DRUM PUMP ACCESSORY
Pump Lift
Battery powered lift designed for raising / lowering pumps into drums and tanks.
The mobile lift system is ideal for food processing and sanitary environments where water, foam and cleaning agents are present.
High Viscosity Drum Pumps
We can pump tomato concentrates, petroleum jelly, mascara and many other non-flowing materials with viscosities higher than 100,000 centiPoise and from various sized open top drums. We minimise waste and our systems work on both parallel and slightly tapered conical shaped drums – even those with plastic bag liners inside.
PowerPrime
The PowerPrime solution is a single post pneumatic unit with piston pump on a follower-plate which can pump products up to 150,000 centiPoise – even when pumped cold.
MaxiPrime
A twin cylinder pressure priming system with a ‘stubby’ piston pump that pumps ultra viscous media – works on viscosities up to 1,000,000 centiPoise!
Articulated PowerPrime
The articulated arm enables the pump to transfer products from pallet mounted drums without removing the drums from the pallet, which avoids manual issues.
Twin Screw Pump Drum Unloader
Pulsation-free, low energy, Clean-In-Place Drum Pump Solution
The QDU is a drum unloader system that is fully designed around an integrated twin screw pump driven by an electric motor to offer an alternative to pneumatic systems and to reduce energy consumption.
Safe and efficient handling of high viscosity products up to 1,000,000 cPs and allowing flows up to 227 litres per minute depending on the viscosity.
IBC pumps
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) pumps for unloading IBCs via the top outlet port. Pumps and suction lances with immersion depth of 1200mm.
Centrifugal IBC Pumps
Centrifugal type IBC pumps are suitable for flowing fluids up to a maximum viscosity of 1,000 centipoise.
Progressive Cavity IBC Pumps
Progressive cavity (screw rotor & stator) type IBC pumps are suitable for viscous fluids from 1,000 to 100,000 centipoise.
Flexible Impeller IBC Pumps
An out-of-the-box IBC pumping kit featuring a flexible impeller pump, hoses, suction lance, nozzle and IBC mounting bracket.
Eurobin & Tote Bin Pumps
Pump out of open top Eurobins and tote bins – even highly viscous media.
With a Eurobin / Tote bin pump, you can increase yield, reduce waste, reduce manual labour, reduce cleaning time and increase productivity.
Pumps for open top IBCs and bulk crates
Unload large bulk IBCs, tanks, vessels and crates with or without liners in minutes with a bespoke ‘MegaPrime’ system.
Our systems work on circular, square or rectangular shaped containers and are designed to suit the exact dimensions of your vessel.
For faster unloading, systems can be deployed with multiple pumps that run simultaneously.
Hygienic Drum pump operation
Drum pumps, as the name suggests, are designed to suit standard types of drums and to easily pump fluids out of drums or barrels.
In addition to standard drum pumps, we supply pump solutions for unloading other containers such as Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), Totes, Eurobins, mixer bowls and even custom tanks.
There is no better way to empty a drum than by using a drum pump!
Commonly regarded simply as a drum (or IBC) length tube and powered by an electric or pneumatic motor, we offer these and much more!
Our drum pump solutions cater for all fluids and suit all shapes and sizes of containers.
We even offer sophisticated and powerful drum unloading systems that pump non-flowing products such as petroleum jelly, toothpaste, mascara or concentrated tomato paste.
Typical Applications
Drum pumps for non-viscous fluids
A common application is to pump from drums containing thin, low viscosity fluids such as fruit juice, ethanol, food oils etc. and this can be done using our ranges of centrifugal impeller type drum & IBC pumps.
Viscous drum pumps
For thicker, high viscosity fluids and semi-solids stored inside drums or containers, we supply screw type drum pumps for fluids up to 100,000 centiPoise and for thicker fluids up to 1,000,000 centiPoise, we supply twin screw and piston pumps suitable for pumping materials like petroleum jelly, mascara, tomato paste and other non-flowing media.
