If you work with 55-gallon drums, you most likely have one or more commercial drum pumps that you use to extract or dispensing liquids!

Easy Rack, a Houston based material handling supply house has a wide range of 55 gallon drum pumps available. Drum pumps come in many shapes and sizes depending on your requirements. To identify the correct pump for your application you must first identify whether you are pumping thin liquids or something with more viscosity. For thin, light liquids such as water and light oil, you can use a regular piston pump, as very little force is required in order to get the liquid out. These lightweight pumps are simple to use, low cost and easy to maintain.

When a heavier gauge liquid is being stored in the drum, a standard piston pump will not have the power to draw up the fluid without a great deal of effort from the operator, and a more powerful system is required. Easy Rack offer a number of 55 gallon drum pumps that feature a lever attached to the top of the standard piston. This, coupled with a larger chamber in the piston makes it much easier to pump liquid out of the drum and into an appropriate receptacle to be used elsewhere in the building or site.

The drawback with both kinds of piston based pump is that they are both limited to producing a relatively uneven flow of liquid, and this can lead to spills and accidents. When liquids are pumped out using a piston, the pressure varies considerably, and this results in pulsing or uneven flow rates.

An alternative to a drum style piston pump is a rotary pump. With these 55 gallon drum pumps, you will be able to get a steady flow of liquid out of the drum, and even deal with the heavier gauges of oil and even paint.
