Safe Raw Material Discharge
In industrial production, raw materials are usually supplied in 200-liter drums or 1000-liter IBC tanks. Manual emptying of these containers causes both product loss and work accidents. Welltech drum pumps provide 99% discharge efficiency, leaving only a few drops of product at the bottom of the container thanks to the immersion-type tube design. They adapt to the most demanding field conditions with electric and pneumatic motor options.

Product & Motor Options


Drum Pump Selection Table
* The immersion tube material must be selected according to the corrosion table of the chemical to be transferred. ATEX motors must be used for flammable liquids.
| Application | Tube Material | Tube Length (mm) | Viscosity (cP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Drum (200L) | AISI 316L / PP | 1000 mm | 0 - 800 cP |
| IBC Tank (1000L) | AISI 316L / PVDF | 1200 mm | 0 - 1000 cP |
| Viscous Food (Honey/Cream) | Food-Grade 316L | 1000 - 1200 mm | Up to 100,000 cP |
| Laboratory/Small Container | PP / PVDF | 700 mm | 0 - 200 cP |
Drum Discharge FAQ
Which motor should I choose for solvent or alcohol transfer?
Standard electric motors can produce sparks when transferring flammable and combustible fluids. In this case, ATEX certified explosion-proof motors or pneumatic motors operating with compressed air must be used.
What is a screw-type (Eccentric Screw) drum pump used for?
Standard drum pumps cannot draw products with very low fluidity such as honey, glucose or dense cosmetic creams. Screw-type drum pumps can effortlessly vacuum and pump products of this density thanks to their endless screw mechanism.
How is the pump tube cleaned?
Welltech drum pumps have a modular design. The motor and tube parts are separated from each other within seconds. The shaft and impeller inside the tube can be easily removed and placed in a sterilization or CIP bath.
