Drum & IBC Tank Pumps

End product losses from manual discharge of raw materials. Lightweight, portable and highly efficient discharge units specially designed for acids, chemicals and liquid foods.

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.

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.
