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

    • Operated by hand (crank or lever)

    • No electricity required, portable

    • Best for low-volume transfers

  2. Electric Drum Pumps

    • Powered by electricity (AC or DC)

    • Faster flow rates, good for frequent use

    • Often includes auto shut-off

  3. Battery-Operated Drum Pumps

    • Cordless, rechargeable battery-powered

    • Convenient for remote or outdoor use

  4. Pneumatic (Air-Powered) Drum Pumps

    • Uses compressed air for operation

    • Safe for flammable liquids (no sparks)

  5. Gear Pumps & Rotary Pumps

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

    • Durable for industrial use
