Anyone who needs to safely transfer flammable or corrosive liquids from a drum or canister requires more than just a simple hand pump. The Bürkle stainless steel drum pump is a hand-operated reciprocating piston pump based on the overpressure principle, which has been developed specifically for this purpose. Thanks to its electrical conductivity and DEKRA-tested suitability for Ex zones 0, 1 and 2, it can also be used in areas where highly flammable vapours are likely to be present, such as when decanting solvents or other flammable chemicals in workshops, laboratories and production facilities.

DEKRA-tested for Ex zones 0, 1 and 2

The drum pump was specially developed for use in Ex zones 0, 1 and 2 and is DEKRA-tested for explosion groups IIA and IIB. Thanks to the electrical conductivity of all parts in contact with the medium, it is suitable for highly flammable and combustible liquids. Important for safe operation: When handling flammable or highly flammable liquids, all parts of the pump must be earthed, for example using an anti-static kit. The pump is not suitable for acetone or similar dehydrating solvents.

Material: 1.4301 stainless steel with PTFE seals

All parts in contact with the medium are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A), which promises a long service life even in damp or aggressive environments. The PTFE seals also ensure high chemical resistance and good sliding properties during pumping, so that the pump remains smooth-running even after prolonged use.

Two versions: outlet elbow or hose with tap

The Bürkle stainless steel drum pump is available in two versions. The version with an outlet elbow (length 290 mm, outlet outer diameter 12 mm) is suitable for direct filling into a container placed underneath. The version with an outlet hose and tap (hose length 1.2 m, outlet outer diameter 12.8 mm) allows for metered, controlled dispensing thanks to the shut-off tap, even when the receiving vessel is not positioned directly beneath the pump. The outlet elbow and outlet hose can also be swapped, making the pump versatile for a range of filling situations.

What immersion depth for which container?

The immersion depth is infinitely adjustable and available in three lengths, so that the suitable Bürkle stainless steel drum pump can be found for almost any container:

  • 36 cm immersion depth: for containers up to approx. 30 l
  • 57 cm immersion depth: for containers up to approx. 60 l
  • 91 cm immersion depth: for containers up to approx. 220 l, such as standard drums

The 91 cm version with an outlet elbow covers standard 200-litre drums with its immersion depth.

Flow rate and viscosity

Depending on the selected immersion depth, the pump delivers between 190 and 540 ml per stroke, which corresponds to a flow rate of 9 to 22 l/min across the entire range. The immersion tube has a consistent diameter of 32 mm, and the pump handles fluids with a viscosity of up to 500 mPa·s.

Robust all-rounder offering good value for money

Stainless steel drum pumps are versatile and suitable for a wide variety of drums, containers and other vessels. Compared to conventional solvent pumps for highly flammable liquids, Bürkle’s stainless steel drum pumps offer good value for money. The robust construction from high-quality, corrosion-resistant 1.4301 stainless steel ensures a long service life, particularly in damp or corrosive environments.

Typical applications

  • Decanting flammable or corrosive liquids and chemicals from drums, canisters and other containers
  • Use in workshops, laboratories and production facilities
  • Filling in Ex zones 0, 1 and 2, provided the pump is earthed in accordance with regulations
  • Choice of immersion depth to suit the container size, from small 30-litre canisters up to 220-litre drums

Handling and cleaning

To operate, screw on the outlet elbow or hose, insert the pump with the drum screw connection into the drum opening and screw it in hand-tight. After removing the cap, the liquid can be pumped out using the handle on the piston rod. During the final pumping stroke, push the piston rod in as far as it will go before carefully unscrewing the pump from the drum. After use, the drum pump should be rinsed with a pH-neutral liquid.
