Air-operated drum pump, also known as a pneumatic drum pump or air-powered barrel pump. This type of pump uses compressed air to transfer fluids from drums or barrels.
Here are some key features and information about air-operated drum pumps:
How they work:
They use compressed air to create suction and force fluid out of a container. The compressed air powers a diaphragm or piston mechanism.
Applications:
They are used in various industries for transferring fluids like chemicals, solvents, oils, and viscous liquids. They are also common in manufacturing plants, construction sites, and automotive shops.
The pump is connected to an air compressor and mounted through the opening of a drum or container. Adjusting the air supply can control the flow rate.
