Oil Drum Pump Dispenser

An oil drum pump dispenser is a device used to transfer liquids, such as oils, lubricants, fuels, or chemicals, from a drum (typically a 55-gallon/200-liter barrel) into smaller containers or directly into machinery. These pumps help ensure safe, efficient, and spill-free dispensing.

Types of Oil Drum Pump Dispensers

1. Manual Drum Pumps

5. Gear Pumps & Rotary Pumps

• For high-viscosity fluids (grease, heavy oils)

• Durable for industrial use
