Bürkle foot-operated solvent pump with outlet hose and tap, 5603-3000
The Bürkle solvent pump, featuring foot operation, a discharge hose and a shut-off valve, represents a high-purity, occupational safety-optimised system solution for the contamination-free transfer and filling of organic solvents, acids, alkalis and flammable liquids from drums and large containers. In industrial production facilities, chemical laboratories and pharmaceutical filling plants, handling highly volatile or flammable media places the highest demands on explosion protection and ergonomics. Through the consistent use of chemically inert materials such as stainless steel and PTFE (Teflon), the purity of the filled media is fully preserved. For laboratory managers, health and safety officers and procurement staff in the B2B sector, this foot-operated pump offers the highest level of process reliability, as it enables precise, drip-free dosing whilst keeping the operator’s hands free to hold the target vessel. Ergonomic foot operation for maximum occupational safety The mechanical system architecture is characterised by convenient foot operation via a separate, robust foot bar. Activating the pump with the foot builds up a transient overpressure in the container, which delivers the liquid gently and evenly upwards through the riser tube. This contact-free operation offers a decisive advantage in terms of occupational safety: the operator has both hands free to position measuring cylinders, flasks or canisters precisely beneath the spout. This effectively minimises accidental spillage or dangerous splashes of corrosive chemicals during daily field use. Material inertness for high-purity media All functional components of the drum pump that come into contact with samples and media are manufactured from materials of the very highest quality. The robust immersion tube and the media-carrying valves are made of high-purity type 1.4301 (AISI 304) stainless steel, whilst all seals and the flexible outlet hose are made of chemically unrivalled PTFE. This material-science specification guarantees universal resistance to highly aggressive organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, methanol or toluene. As the pump is designed to be completely free of lubricants or plastics containing plasticisers, high-purity sample quality is permanently guaranteed without any cross-contamination from the materials. Gas-tight seal and controlled drainage of residual quantities The Bürkle solvent pump is securely and airtightly fixed in the container’s bunghole via a highly stable drum coupling. This gas-tight system seal reliably prevents harmful solvent vapours from entering the ambient air and the breathing zone of laboratory staff during the pumping process. The flexible, 1.2-metre-long PTFE outlet hose is fitted with a precision stainless steel shut-off valve. This valve allows for absolutely precise, drip-free dispensing of even the smallest volumes. Thanks to the infinitely variable height-adjustable drum thread, the pump’s immersion depth can be perfectly adapted to the specific container geometry, ensuring excellent drainage of residual quantities.

To ensure explosion protection in accordance with strict health and safety guidelines, the use of a suitable anti-static kit is essential. Our range includes the original Bürkle anti-static kit (earthing cable with brass clamps), which safely dissipates electrostatic energy to earth in a way that is gentle on materials and ensures process reliability. For use with plastic drums, sheet metal containers or other containers, we also offer a comprehensive range of threaded adaptors (e.g. for Mauser threads, Tri-Sure or 2-inch coarse threads). Please make use of our technical procurement service to ensure the safe configuration of your hazardous materials workstation.
Bürkle Hand Pump for Solvents, V2A Stainless Steel, for Containers up to 60 L, 5603-1000
Anyone who scoops solvent from a 60-litre drum using a beaker or a jug risks splashes and direct skin contact with the liquid. The hand pump for solvents, on the other hand, operates on the principle of positive pressure: A pump ball forces air into the sealed drum; the resulting overpressure pushes the solvent out in a controlled manner through the fixed spout. This allows flammable solvents to be dispensed in measured quantities without having to tip the drum over or leave it open permanently.Operation without suctionUnlike a suction pump, the hand pump does not create a vacuum in the riser tube, but rather positive pressure inside the drum itself. The pump bulb is operated by hand; air flows through a tube into the drum, whilst the solvent rises separately to the spout. The shut-off valve at the end of the spout, made of stainless steel and PTFE, stops the flow immediately once the receiving container is full.For drums up to 60 l with a G2-inch threadThe pump fits containers with a G2-inch external thread and a capacity of up to approximately 60 l. The dip tube can be continuously adjusted to the actual depth of the drum; at full immersion depth, it extends up to 60 centimetres into the drum. With a flow rate of around 10 l per minute and a viscosity of up to 500 mPa·s, the pump is suitable for low- to medium-viscosity solvents. The 12-millimetre external diameter of the outlet fits standard funnels and canister openings, allowing the target container to be filled directly beneath the outlet elbow.Materials in contact with solventsAll parts in contact with the medium are made of 1.4301 (V2A) stainless steel and PTFE. Both materials are chemically resistant to organic solvents and aromatic compounds and can withstand regular cleaning after filling. Unlike a plastic pump, stainless steel does not swell when frequently exposed to more aggressive solvents and retains its fit, even after many filling cycles.Independent of mains power and compressed airThe hand pump requires neither a mains power connection nor a compressed air supply; it operates solely by means of the pump ball in the hand. This makes it ideal for workplaces where there is no compressed air network, such as in smaller workshops, for mobile operations or in storage areas away from the main infrastructure. Those who only open a drum occasionally can therefore manage without having to purchase a compressor.Safety when handling flammable liquidsBürkle expressly refers to the explosion protection guidelines for handling flammable, highly combustible liquids when using this pump: all parts must be earthed; in addition, the manufacturer recommends an anti-static kit. The product page does not specify a particular ATEX certification; the advice is intended as a recommendation for safe operation.If a different container or drive type is requiredFor tinplate canisters with bellows closures, the solvent pump for tinplate canisters is available as a hand pump of identical design, featuring a suitable adapter instead of a G2-inch thread. If both hands need to remain free, or if larger 220-litre drums are being used, the foot-operated solvent pump with spout is the more suitable choice. For small containers such as bottles or canisters up to 10 l with a GL45 thread, the Mini solvent pump is more suitable.Typical applicationsContamination-free dispensing of organic solvents and aromatic compounds from 60-litre drumsPrecise dispensing of flammable liquids in the laboratory, workshop or warehouseDecanting into smaller containers without tilting or opening the drumDrums with G2-inch threads in the chemical industry and in tradeTechnical detailsMaterialStainless steel 1.4301 (V2A), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)Drive typemanually operatedPump typePressure pumpThreadG 2 inches, external threadFlow rate approx.10 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sPipe diameter15 mmImmersion tube diameter15 mmLength of outlet bend185 mmOuter diameter of outlet12 mmMax. immersion depth60 cmFor containers up toapprox. 60 lScope of deliveryHand pump with fixed spout and shut-off valveService and procurementBusinesses with multiple drum sizes or container types often coordinate their order with the appropriate foot-operated or mini version, so that the right pump is to hand for every container. If you have any questions regarding the correct thread size, the choice between hand- and foot-operated models, or spare parts such as the shut-off valve, LT Laborhandel will be happy to assist you directly, even for larger requirements across multiple workstations.
Bürkle Foot-operated Solvent Pump with Outlet Elbow, V2A Stainless Steel, for Drums up to 220 L, 5603-1100
When dispensing from a 220-litre steel drum, both hands are often needed: one holds the receiving container, whilst the other is supposed to guide the spout. The foot-operated solvent pump solves this problem by being activated via a foot pedal: the operator has both hands free for the container and does not need to touch the pump itself whilst the solvent flows through the fixed spout.Foot operation instead of a hand pumpInstead of a pump ball, the operator presses a pedal at the base of the pump. Each press forces air into the drum and builds up excess pressure, which pushes the solvent through the riser pipe to the outlet elbow. This completely frees up the hands and, during repeated filling over several minutes, is noticeably more comfortable than a hand pump that has to be held down continuously. Even with larger 220-litre drums, which require more strokes, the effort required is distributed more evenly when using the foot.For drums up to 220 l with a G2-inch threadThe pump is designed for steel drums with a G2-inch external thread and is suitable for containers up to around 220 l. The 21-millimetre-diameter dip tube can be continuously adjusted to the depth of the drum; at full immersion, it extends up to 95 centimetres into the drum. With a flow rate of around 20 l per minute and a viscosity of up to 500 mPa·s, it fills a container noticeably faster than the smaller hand pump for 60-litre drums.Fixed spout for stationary fillingThe 300-millimetre-long outlet elbow with shut-off valve is fixed in place and not flexible. This is ideal when the target container is positioned directly beneath or next to the pump, as the short, rigid path from the drum to the spout, with an outer diameter of 13 millimetres, allows for stable, easily controllable flow. If, on the other hand, a container needs to be filled that is further away, raised or positioned at an angle, the identically constructed foot-operated solvent pump with discharge hose and tap is the more suitable option: It has the same pump body and the same flow rate, but replaces the rigid elbow with a 1-metre-long, flexible hose fitted with its own shut-off tap.Materials and safety when handling flammable liquidsParts in contact with the medium are made of stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A) and PTFE, which are resistant to high-purity solvents. Bürkle also draws attention to the explosion protection guidelines for this pump: all parts must be earthed, and an anti-static kit is recommended for use with flammable liquids. The product page does not specify a specific ATEX certification number.Who will benefit from foot operationAnyone who fills containers from the same drum several times a day will quickly notice the difference compared to manual operation: with foot-operated control, one hand remains on the receiving container whilst the other can guide the spout or operate the shut-off valve without having to touch the pump itself. This also reduces direct hand contact with a potentially contaminated pump surface, an aspect that is particularly important when dealing with sensitive solvents.When a smaller or compressed-air-powered pump is requiredFor smaller 60-litre drums, the more compact manual pump for solvents is usually sufficient. If compressed air or inert gas is available and the immersion depth needs to remain adjustable between 60 and 95 centimetres, the solvent dispensing system with discharge elbow covers the same depth range with a complete system including a pressure regulator.Typical applicationsFilling high-purity solvents from 220-litre steel drumsWorkstations where both hands are needed to handle the target containerFrequent, repetitive filling over extended periodsDrums with G2-inch threads in laboratories, warehouses or production facilitiesTechnical detailsMaterialStainless steel 1.4301 (V2A), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)Actuation typefoot-operatedPump typePressure pumpThreadG 2 inches, external threadFlow rate approx.20 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sPipe diameter21 mmImmersion tube diameter21 mmLength of outlet bend300 mmOuter diameter of outlet13 mmMax. immersion depth95 cmFor containers up toapprox. 220 lScope of deliveryFoot-operated solvent pump with outlet elbowService and procurementThose who, in addition to stationary filling operations, occasionally need to fill containers located further away often order both the spout and the hose versions together, so that both situations are covered. LT Laborhandel can advise on choosing between the two versions, selecting the appropriate drum size and sourcing spare parts such as shut-off valves or foot pedals.
Bürkle Solvent Pump for Tinplate Canisters, V2A Stainless Steel, Bellows Seal Adapter, 5603-2000
In practice, tinplate canisters with bellows caps are often simply tipped over and emptied by hand, resulting in splashes and direct contact with the contents. The solvent pump for tin cans, on the other hand, fits a suitable threaded adapter directly onto the bellows cap and then operates like a standard hand pump based on the overpressure principle: The pump ball forces air into the canister; the excess pressure then forces the liquid out through the fixed spout.Adapter for the standard bellows capThe supplied threaded adapter, with a 35-millimetre, 2-thread internal thread, fits the bellows cap commonly used on tinplate canisters in industry. This eliminates the need for the risky manual pouring of hazardous substances; the canister remains stationary during filling, and the contents flow out in a controlled manner via the spout fitted with a shut-off valve. The adapter is screwed on once and remains attached to the canister for the duration of the transfer; afterwards, it can be removed just as easily as the original bellows cap.For canisters up to around 60 lThe pump is suitable for containers with a capacity of up to approximately 60 l; the 15-millimetre-diameter dip tube can be continuously adjusted to the depth of the canister, reaching a maximum immersion depth of 60 centimetres. With a flow rate of around 10 l per minute and a viscosity limit of up to 500 mPa·s, the performance matches that of the hand pump for drums with a G2-inch thread; only the connection itself is tailored to the canister cap.Why the adapter makes all the differenceCompared to drums with a G2-inch thread, tinplate canisters are a category of their own; the bellows cap cannot simply be converted to a standard thread. Without a suitable adapter, many businesses have no choice but to tip the canister, with all the associated risks of splashing and uncontrolled spillage. The supplied adapter bridges this gap without requiring any modifications to the canister itself, and can be removed again once filling is complete.Materials and safety when handling flammable liquidsParts in contact with the medium are made of 1.4301 (V2A) stainless steel and PTFE and are chemically resistant to organic solvents and aromatic compounds. Bürkle refers to the explosion protection guidelines when handling flammable, highly flammable liquids: all parts must be earthed; in addition, the manufacturer recommends an anti-static kit. The product page does not specify a specific ATEX certification number.If a different container is being usedFor drums with a G2-inch thread instead of a bellows seal, the identically constructed hand pump for solvents is the appropriate choice; for small containers with a GL45 connection up to 10 l, the Mini solvent pump is recommended. If, on the other hand, 220-litre steel drums need to be connected and both hands need to remain free, the foot-operated solvent pump - available in either an outlet elbow or hose version, meets this requirement.Independent of mains power and compressed airLike the other hand pumps in the range, this model requires neither a mains power connection nor a compressed air supply. This makes it particularly practical for businesses that only occasionally open tin cans, such as in smaller laboratories, workshops or storage areas without their own compressed air network. The threaded adapter can also be swapped between several canisters of the same closure type, meaning a single pump is sufficient for multiple containers.Typical applicationsContamination-free decanting from tinplate canisters with bellows closuresAvoiding the manual pouring of hazardous substancesExtraction of organic solvents and aromatic compounds in the laboratoryBusinesses that routinely source raw materials in tinplate canistersGoods-in and decanting stations where several cans with the same type of closure are in circulationTechnical detailsMaterialStainless steel 1.4301 (V2A), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)Drive typemanually operatedPump typePressure pumpConnection typeThreaded, female threadConnection35 mm, 2-threadFlow rate approx.10 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sPipe diameter15 mmImmersion tube diameter15 mmLength of outlet bend185 mmOuter diameter of outlet12 mmMax. immersion depth60 cmFor containers up toapprox. 60 lScope of deliverySolvent pump with fixed outlet elbow and shut-off valveThreaded adapter for tin cansService and procurementBusinesses that use both canisters with bellows closures and drums with G2-inch threads often order both pump versions together, so that the correct connection is available for every container.

Bürkle, Mini solvent pump, 1.8 l/min, GL45 connection, #5603-4000
Mini Solvent Pump | Safe dispensing of small quantities The Mini Solvent Pump is an extremely high-quality hand pump for small containers such as bottles, canisters and containers up to approx. 10 litres. For the safe dispensing and dosing of solvents and highly flammable liquids. Simple principle – great results The hand pump operates on the overpressure principle. Pressing the pump ball builds up overpressure inside the container, which forces the liquid out. This ensures that only the hose, feed tube and spout come into contact with the liquid being dispensed. A pressure relief valve protects the solvent pump against excessive pressure build-up – for example, due to direct sunlight – ensuring safety. High-quality materials All parts of this hand pump that come into contact with the medium are made from high-quality, inert materials – PTFE and stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4404) – which are characterised by their excellent chemical resistance. The Mini solvent pump is therefore particularly well suited for use with high-purity liquids and highly flammable media, e.g. acetone, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, etc. Filling in potentially explosive atmospheres The supplied earthing cable can be easily connected to the solvent pump via a spade connector; this dissipates electrostatic charges, allowing flammable media to be dispensed safely. Flexible in use The solvent pump can be used to fill from a wide variety of container sizes. The flexible PTFE hose, which draws the liquid from the container, can be cut to any length. This enables the container to be emptied completely, even in the case of bottles and canisters with a domed base. The hand pump has a standard GL 45 connection thread. However, with the appropriate thread adaptors (accessories), it can be easily adapted for use with containers featuring S 40, GL 38 or GL 32 thread sizes. Precise dispensing of the liquid The self-closing spout (with auto-stop function) on the Mini solvent pump enables absolutely precise dispensing, with no dripping whatsoever. Thanks to the simple dosing mechanism, even the smallest containers, such as test tubes, can be filled without any problems. A hose (internal Ø 6 mm) can be optionally attached to the spout, allowing safe filling even into containers situated further away. Perfectly balanced The Mini solvent pump is particularly compact and very well balanced, enabling tilt-free dispensing even from small containers. Robust and durable Thanks to its robust design and high-quality materials, the durable Mini solvent pump enables consistently safe and clean filling in the simplest and most convenient way. Ideal for 1–5 l containers GL 45 connection thread Parts in contact with the medium made from PTFE and stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4404) PTFE hose (6x8 mm), 0.4 m Includes 2 m earthing cable Adapters for S 40, GL 38 and GL 32 available as accessories Sterility: No
Bürkle, drum pump for concentrated acids/alkalis, 100 cm, 80 rpm, #5762-0200
Sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and sodium hypochlorite corrode most plastics more severely than diluted acids. The drum pump for concentrated acids and alkalis is therefore of the same design as the drum pump for acids and alkalis, but has a pump body made of PVDF instead of polypropylene. Two immersion depths, 100 and 120 centimetres, are suitable for standard drums up to 220 litres.PVDF instead of polypropylene for highly corrosive mediaPolyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is more chemically resistant than polypropylene and makes the pump suitable for media that would, over time, corrode a pump made entirely of PP. Bürkle cites sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and sodium hypochlorite as typical applications. This version is also expressly unsuitable for hydrochloric acid; chemical resistance must be checked before use by referring to the manufacturer’s resistance list.Electric centrifugal pump with a slightly lower flow rateAt around 80 litres per minute, the flow rate is just below that of the PP version at 85 litres per minute; the difference is due to the PVDF pump body. The 2-metre-long outlet hose and the 41-millimetre-thick immersion tube are standard features of the drum pump series.Two immersion depths for standard drumsThe 100-centimetre version and the 120-centimetre version differ solely in their immersion depth; all other technical specifications are identical for both. The immersion tube can be adjusted continuously to the actual drum depth.When the standard version is sufficientFor low-viscosity acids such as phosphoric acid, chromic acid or battery acid, where polypropylene offers sufficient chemical resistance, the drum pump for acids and alkalis is the more cost-effective choice with a slightly higher flow rate. The PVDF version is worthwhile where more concentrated or aggressive media are used.Thread and connectionLike the PP version, this pump also uses a G 1¼-inch thread for the drum connection, rather than the G 2-inch thread commonly found on other Bürkle drum pumps. It is therefore worth checking the existing drum connection before ordering to ensure the pump fits without the need for an additional adapter. The yellow colour scheme is identical for both versions in the series and allows for quick visual differentiation from the other drum pump series on the shelf.Chemical protection for operations and staffConcentrated acids and sodium hypochlorite are among the media where material failure in the pump can quickly pose a hazard to staff and the surrounding area. The PVDF pump body reduces this risk compared to a PP version, but does not replace the standard personal protective equipment or the other guidelines for handling the relevant hazardous substances in the workplace.Compatibility list as the final point of referenceEven within the group of highly corrosive acids and alkalis, there are differences in concentration that determine the actual material resistance. Before using a pump with a new medium for the first time, it is therefore advisable to consult the manufacturer’s compatibility list to avoid misjudgements between acids that sound similar but differ in their chemical corrosiveness.Electric drive for continuous pumpingEven in the concentrated version, the centrifugal pump’s electric motor runs continuously as long as the medium is flowing, rather than delivering individual strokes as with a hand pump. This is particularly suitable for businesses that regularly transfer larger quantities of a specific concentrated acid or alkali between a drum and a process vessel.Typical applicationsTransferring highly corrosive acids such as sulphuric, nitric or hydrofluoric acidDecanting sodium hypochlorite and similarly corrosive alkalisLarger transfer volumes from standard drums of up to 220 litresOperations where polypropylene is not chemically suitable as a pump materialTechnical detailsConnection typeDrum connectionThreadG 1 1/4 inch, external threadFlow rate approx.80 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sImmersion tube Ø41 mmColouryellowLength of outlet hose2 mFor containers up toapprox. 220 lDrive typeelectricPump typeCentrifugal pumpImmersion depth adjustmentInfinitely adjustableMaterialPolyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polypropylene (PP)Overview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depth5762-0200100 cm5762-0201120 cmScope of deliveryDrum pump for concentrated acids/alkalis at the selected immersion depthRegulatory informationThe drum pump for concentrated acids/alkalis is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG.

For smaller quantities without a mains power supply, the Ultrarein PTFE drum pump is a manually operated alternative. LT Laborhandel stocks both immersion depths separately and can advise on the appropriate choice based on the medium to be transferred.
Bürkle, EnergyOne mains-powered drum pump with spout, 50 cm, #5900-2050
At a fixed dispensing station where small quantities of cleaning agent or diluted acid are repeatedly drawn from canisters throughout the day, one thing is paramount: the pump must not stop because the battery has run flat. The EnergyOne is the mains-powered version of the centrifugal pump for small quantities; connected via a 230 V mains adaptor, it is ready for continuous use without any charging time.Mains operation without charging breaksPower is supplied via a 230 V mains adaptor. International plug adaptors for the EU, UK, US and AU are included, ensuring the pump is ready for immediate use even at locations with different plug types. There is no charging time whatsoever, unlike with the battery-powered model; the pump runs as long as it is connected to the mains.When mains operation is worthwhileAt a fixed workstation with a socket within reach, the EnergyOne eliminates any need to worry about the battery charge level. Particularly during frequent, closely spaced filling operations throughout the day, this brings greater peace of mind to the workflow than having to change the battery in between.Same drive system as the AccuOneThe pump unit and drive of the EnergyOne are identical in construction to those of the battery-powered AccuOne; the mains adaptor and battery can be interchanged between the two devices. If you need to use the pump in different locations without a power socket – for example, in another part of the building – the AccuOne is the better choice.Performance data for small volumesAs with the AccuOne, the flow rate ranges from 0 to around 12 l/min at a delivery head of approximately 4 mWS. The 25 mm diameter immersion tube can be adjusted continuously; the outlet elbow has an external diameter of 16 mm and a length of 203 mm. The pump is suitable for low-viscosity to aqueous acids, alkalis, chemicals and cleaning agents up to approximately 200 mPas.Materials for aggressive mediaAs with the AccuOne, the parts in contact with the medium are made of polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Hastelloy 2.4610 (AISI Alloy C-4). The IP 20 protection rating is designed for indoor use.Three immersion depths for different containersThe version with a 50 cm immersion depth is suitable for containers up to approximately 30 litres. The 70 cm version is suitable for containers up to approximately 60 litres, whilst the 100 cm version is suitable for drums up to approximately 220 litres.Permanent installation at the filling stationAs there is no need to change or charge a battery, the EnergyOne is particularly suitable for a fixed installation at a filling or dosing station where the pump is used several times a day. The international plug adaptors make installation straightforward even at locations outside Germany.Contents of the package and connectionThe scope of delivery includes the pump unit, the drive, the mains adaptor with plug, three plug adaptors and the fixed outlet elbow. Once connected to the mains socket, the pump is ready for use without any further preparation; there is no need to charge or replace a battery.Protection class and operating environmentThe IP 20 protection rating indicates that the pump is designed for indoor use, without any special protection against water jets or dust from outside. This is sufficient for use in warehouses and laboratories with a normal indoor environment.Typical applicationsFixed filling and dosing stations with a permanent mains connectionDecanting and transferring small quantities of acids, alkalis, chemicals and cleaning agentsUse abroad thanks to plug adaptors for the EU, UK, US and AUSmall quantities in laboratory settingsTechnical detailsPump typeCentrifugal pumpDrive typeElectric (mains), 230 VFlow rate0 to 12 l/minHead approx.4 mWSViscosity up to approx.200 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter25 mm, infinitely adjustableSpout typeSpout, 203 mm, external Ø 16 mmPlugEU, UK, US, AUProtection classIP 20Materials (in contact with the medium)Polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Hastelloy 2.4610ColourgreyOverview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFor tanks up to5900-205050 cmapprox. 30 litres5900–207070 cmapprox. 60 litres5900-2100100 cmapprox. 220 litresContents of deliveryPump unitDriveMains adaptor with plug3x plug adaptorsFixed outlet elbowRegulatory informationThe EnergyOne is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG.

Bürkle, dispensing system for solvent outlet elbow, 60 cm, #5603-5001
To transfer solvents from a steel drum or canister, a system is required that does not involve handling the liquid in the open. The solvent transfer system with an outlet elbow operates using compressed air or an inert gas such as nitrogen. The gas pressure forces the liquid upwards through the dip tube and through the fixed outlet elbow into the receiving container. Two immersion depths, 60 and 95 centimetres, cater for canisters and standard drums up to 220 litres.Compressed air or inert gas instead of a motorInstead of an electric or manually operated drive, the system uses pure compressed air or an inert gas. This also makes it suitable for high-purity liquids, where a motor-driven pump would be undesirable. A supplied pressure regulator adjusts the delivery pressure; the flow rate is around 10 litres per minute, and the viscosity of the medium may be up to approximately 500 mPa·s. Three adaptors for the pressure supply (G 1/4 inch) included in the scope of delivery cater for different compressors and gas cylinders.Fixed outlet elbow for a fixed workstationThe outlet elbow is rigidly mounted and is suitable when the receiving container is positioned directly beneath or next to the drum, for example when filling laboratory bottles at a fixed workstation. According to Bürkle, the outlet elbow and outlet hose are interchangeable, meaning that the same basic system can be retrofitted with a flexible hose if required.Two immersion depths for different container sizesThe 60-centimetre version is designed for canisters and smaller drums up to approximately 60 litres; the dip tube has a diameter of 15 millimetres. The 95-centimetre version, with a 21-millimetre immersion tube diameter, is suitable for standard 220-litre drums. In both cases, the immersion tube can be continuously adjusted to the actual drum depth, ensuring that it does not rest on the drum base and that the final residual quantity cannot be reached.Safety when handling flammable solventsBürkle expressly points out that the pump and pressure regulator must be earthed and that an anti-static kit must also be used when decanting flammable or highly flammable solvents. The system can be used with UN containers and drums with a test pressure of at least 150 kPa. A grounding cable for the pressure regulator unit is included in the scope of delivery, as is a transport stand that keeps the system stable even when not positioned directly next to the drum.Compact system with accessories for mobile useThe transport stand supplied holds the pressure regulator unit and connecting hose together when the system is moved between different drums or workstations. Two protective plugs seal the connections during transport or when the system is not in use, preventing any medium from dripping out or dirt from entering. Bürkle also marks the system with a pictogram indicating suitability for food contact, without specifically referring to a particular standard such as EU 1935/2004. It is therefore advisable to consult the manufacturer for final approval in food-contact applications.Typical areas of applicationDecanting solvents from drums and canisters into smaller containersDirect dispensing at the point of use in laboratories or chemical productionFilling of high-purity liquids without a motorised pumpUse with UN containers and drums from a test pressure of 150 kPaTechnical detailsConnection typeDrum screw connectionThreadG 2 inch, external threadFlow rate approx.10 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sOutlet typeElbow outletDrive typepneumatic (compressed air or inert gas)Pump typePositive displacement pumpAdjust immersion depthInfinitely adjustableMaterialV2A stainless steel (1.4301), PTFE inner parts of the immersion tubeOverview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFor vessels up toImmersion tube ØLength of outlet bendOuter outlet diameter5603-500160 cmapprox. 60 l15 mm185 mm12 mm5603-500395 cmapprox. 220 l21 mm280 mm13 mmContentsSolvent pump with outlet elbowPressure regulator unitTransport stand2x protective plugsEarthing cable for pressure regulatorConnecting hoseKey for pressure supply3x pressure supply adaptors (G 1/4 inch)Service and procurementThe appropriate immersion depth depends on the drum size at the workplace. For smaller canisters up to 10 litres with a GL45 connection, the Mini solvent pump is often the more practical choice; for simple manual operation without a compressed air connection, the manual solvent pump is recommended. When dealing with particularly pure media in a manually operated version, the Ultrarein PTFE drum pump is more suitable. LT Laborhandel stocks both versions of the dispensing system separately and can advise on selecting the appropriate immersion depth and pressure supply.
Bürkle, Petro electric drum pump, with standard dispensing nozzle, #5780-0040
A depot that regularly transfers diesel from a 200-litre drum into vehicles or EL heating oil into a tank needs a pump that does not have to be operated manually every time it is used. The Petro electric drum pump does exactly that: it dispenses diesel, EL heating oil, undiluted radiator antifreeze and other liquids classified as hazard class AIII (VbF) via a dispensing nozzle, powered by a 230 V mains socket.Over-lift protection against leaksAn integrated anti-lift protection system interrupts the flow if the hose is damaged or breaks off, thereby preventing fuel from leaking uncontrollably. This is an essential safety feature for daily use on vehicles and machinery.Standard or automatic dispensing nozzleThe pump is available with two types of nozzle. The standard nozzle is switched off manually and delivers a flow rate of around 38 l/min. The self-shutting-off automatic nozzle stops automatically as soon as the target tank is full – which is practical for frequent refuelling without constant supervision – and has a flow rate of around 32 l/min. Which variant is more suitable depends on whether a person is supervising the refuelling process throughout or is carrying out other tasks at the same time.Reach and connectionWith a submersion depth of 160 cm, the pump can reach the bottom of a 220-litre drum. The 4-metre-long outlet hose bridges the distance to the receiving container, whilst the suction head is approximately 2 metres water column. The connection is via an M 64x4 external thread, suitable for standard drum openings.Not suitable for liquids containing waterThe pump is expressly not suitable for liquids containing water or diluted liquids. Anyone who needs to transfer aqueous media as well as fuels will require a second, suitable pump unit for this purpose.Flow meter as an accessoryFor businesses wishing to document dispensed volumes, an electronic flow meter with totaliser and calibration facility is available as an accessory. The meter is uncalibrated and is therefore suitable for internal volume monitoring, but not for billing purposes subject to legal metrological requirements.Use in everyday workshop operationsWhether refuelling construction machinery in the yard, topping up EL heating oil in the fuel storage room or transferring radiator antifreeze in the workshop: the pump remains mounted on its stand and is immediately ready for use via the dispensing nozzle, without having to fetch a separate unit for every task.Electric drive instead of a hand-operated pumpCompared to a hand-operated pump, the electric drive eliminates the need for repeated manual pumping – a noticeable difference, particularly when refuelling several times a day. The operator simply holds the nozzle; the pump itself handles the delivery via the electric motor.Threaded connection instead of hose connectionThe connection via the M 64x4 external thread sits securely on the drum and prevents slipping during operation, unlike a simple push-fit connection. The thread fits standard 200-litre drums, such as those commonly used for diesel and EL heating oil.Limitations of useThe pump is the right choice for fuels and mineral oils, but it is expressly not suitable for acids, alkalis or other chemicals. Anyone transferring both types of medium in the same facility will need two separate pumps to ensure that no residual medium enters the other application.Typical applicationsRefuelling vehicles and machinery with diesel from a storage drumTransferring EL heating oil into tanksPumping undiluted radiator antifreezeDepots, workshops and warehouses with regular fuel handlingTechnical detailsPump typeCentrifugal pumpDrive typeelectric, 230 VMax. immersion depth160 cmLength of outlet hose4 mSuction height approx.2 mWSConnection typeThread, M 64x4 external threadFor tanks up toapprox. 220 litresColourgreyOverview of variantsItem numberFuel nozzleFlow rate approx.5780-0040Standard (manual)38 l/min5780-0041Automatic (self-shutting)32 l/minContentsPetro electric drum pump with the selected dispensing nozzleThe electronic flow meter is not included and must be ordered separately.Regulatory informationThe Petro electric drum pump is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG. Information on the return of end-of-life equipment can be found under ‘Environment and Disposal’.Service and ProcurementThe choice of dispensing nozzle for a particular application depends on the workflow at the workplace: continuous supervision by a single person favours the standard dispensing nozzle, whilst a frequently changing team tends to favour the automatic version. LT Laborhandel supplies both versions individually, along with the appropriate flow meter, and can also advise on alternatives where required, such as the manual drum pump for mineral oils for sites without a mains socket, or the mains-powered electric laboratory pump for acids and alkalis.

Bürkle Gas-tight PP Barrel Pump, 2 X 3/4-inch Threaded Adaptors, Telescopic Immersion Tube 40 to 67 cm, 5610-1040
Two 3/4-inch threaded adaptors with lock nuts distinguish the Bürkle 5610-1040 barrel pump from its sister model: the hose connection on the dispensing container is securely screwed in place. The pump itself is a hand-operated reciprocating piston pump made of PP with a gas vent line, which delivers 220 ml per stroke. The telescopic tube extends continuously to a depth of between 40 and 67 cm into the container, and the outlet hose is 1.2 m long.Tightly screwed connection with 3/4-inch adaptorsThe adaptors with lock nuts are designed for openings from 28 mm; a universal plug for openings from 34 to 70 mm is included for the original container. This variant is useful if you do not want the hose connection on the container to consist of a plug. Those who prefer the flexibility to switch between different opening sizes should take a look at the 5610-1030 drum pump with a variable universal plug.Gas and liquid linesGas recirculation takes place via the gas recirculation line; the gas and liquid lines each have a shut-off valve. Bürkle intends the pump for the low-odour transfer of volatile, strong-smelling or harmful liquids, such as strongly odourous substances like ammonia, as well as acids and alkalis. For acids and alkalis, the resistance of the materials PP, PE and PVC is crucial; the outlet hose is made of soft PVC.Displacement volume and dip tubeThe pump dispenses 220 ml per stroke. The dip tube has a diameter of 32 mm, whilst the tube above it is 22 mm in diameter. As the telescopic tube can be extended continuously from 40 to 67 cm, the pump is suitable for drums and canisters of various heights. The handle is attached to the piston.Not suitable for flammable liquidsThe instructions for use explicitly exclude the filling of flammable liquids. The material is non-conductive. For handling acids, alkalis or liquids harmful to health, the SafetyBox 2507-9000 from Bürkle is available, complete with safety goggles and protective gloves.Operating limitationsPumping is carried out manually; continuous operation is not intended. The permissible temperature range is 0 to 40 °C, and the unit is for indoor use only. Contaminated fluids are not permitted, and the pump is not dishwasher-safe. When the piston is extended, it requires space above the container plus 20 cm. No maintenance is required.Typical applicationsThe 5610-1040 is suitable for tasks where the filling container is connected via a screw-on hose connection:Decanting strongly odourous substances such as ammoniaFilling with volatile or hazardous liquids in laboratories, production facilities and warehousesAcids and alkalis from drums and canisters, provided PP, PE and PVC are compatiblePermanently screwed hose connection to the filling container (3/4 inch)Technical detailsConnection optionsTwo 3/4-inch threaded adaptors with lock nuts for the filling container (openings from 28 mm), universal plugs 34 to 70 mm for the original containerPump typeReciprocating piston pump, hand-operated, not suitable for continuous useFlow rate220 ml per strokeTube diameter22 mmImmersion tube diameter32 mmImmersion depth40 to 67 cm, infinitely adjustableOutlet1.2 m outlet hose with shut-off valveGas returnGas supply line, gas and liquid lines, each with a shut-off valveMaterialsPP, PE, PVCColourgrey/blueOperating temperature0 to 40 °CLimitationsNot suitable for flammable liquids, for indoor use only, not suitable for contaminated media, not dishwasher-safePackaging unit1 pieceScope of deliveryGas-tight PP drum pump with infinitely extendable telescopic dip tube (40 to 67 cm) and reciprocating piston with handle1.2 m outlet hose with shut-off valveGas supply line with shut-off valvePlug for the original containerTwo 3/4-inch threaded adaptors with lock nuts for the dispensing containerInstructions for useFrequently asked questionsIs the pump approved for use with flammable liquids? No. The user manual expressly excludes flammable liquids.What size openings do the adapters require? The 3/4-inch threaded adapters are designed for openings of 28 mm or larger.Can I use the pump with containers that have different immersion depths? The telescopic tube can be extended continuously from 40 to 67 cm.Is there a version with a universal plug? Yes, the 5610-1030 features a variable universal plug for openings from 34 to 70 mm instead of the threaded adaptors.Individual requirements and procurement serviceThe SafetyBox 2507-9000, complete with safety goggles and protective gloves, is compatible with this pump. If a different connection would be better suited to your container, we can clarify this via our procurement service. You can also enquire about drum fittings and other Bürkle accessories through this service. The opening width of the filling container and the thread size will help you make your selection.
Bürkle, AccuOne battery-powered drum pump with spout, 50 cm 5900-1050
Anyone who needs to draw cleaning solutions or diluted acids several times a day from different containers – often in places where there is no nearby power socket – will benefit from a cordless pump. The AccuOne is a battery-powered centrifugal pump for small volumes, designed to deliver low-viscosity to aqueous acids, alkalis, chemicals and cleaning agents up to approximately 200 mPas, without the need for a power socket.Lithium-ion battery with no memory effectThe battery is lightweight, powerful and has no memory effect, so recharging it mid-use does not reduce its subsequent runtime. An auto-stop function protects against deep discharge. According to Bürkle, a full charge is sufficient for a flow rate of around 1,500 litres, with a charging time of approximately 4 hours. The plugs are designed for use in the EU and the UK.Hybrid system with mains power supplyThe AccuOne’s drive and pump unit can also be operated using a mains power supply. The identically constructed EnergyOne, which runs on mains power, is available as a standalone product from LT Laborhandel; the battery and mains power supply are interchangeable. Those who mainly use the pump at a fixed workstation with a mains socket and do not wish to wait for the battery to charge are often better served by the EnergyOne.Performance data for small volumesThe flow rate ranges from 0 to around 12 l/min, whilst the head is approximately 4 mWS. The 25 mm diameter immersion tube can be continuously adjusted in terms of immersion depth and fits through container openings from 25 mm. The connection is via a drum coupling; the outlet elbow has an external diameter of 16 mm and a length of 203 mm. The IP 20 protection rating is designed for indoor use.Materials for aggressive mediaThe parts in contact with the medium are made of polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Hastelloy 2.4610 (AISI Alloy C-4), three materials with high chemical resistance. Before use with a specific medium, however, it is still worth consulting a chemical resistance table, as Bürkle itself recommends on the product page.Three immersion depths for different containersThe shortest version, with a 50 cm immersion depth, is suitable for containers up to approximately 30 litres. The medium version, with a 70 cm immersion depth, is suitable for containers up to approximately 60 litres, whilst the longest version, with a 100 cm immersion depth, is suitable for drums up to approximately 220 litres.Mobile use without a power cableAs it has no mains cable, the pump can be taken between different locations – for example, if several canisters need to be emptied in different storage areas in the course of a morning. The lithium-ion battery can be swapped for a charged spare battery in just a few simple steps.Contents of the pack and initial set-upThe scope of delivery includes the pump unit, drive unit, battery, charger with plug, a plug adapter set and the fixed outlet elbow. Before first use, charge the battery using the supplied charger; the pump is then ready for immediate use.Protection rating and operating environmentThe IP 20 protection rating indicates that the pump is designed for indoor use, without any special protection against water jets or dust from outside. This is sufficient for use in warehouses and laboratories with a normal indoor environment.Typical applicationsDecanting and transferring small quantities of acids, alkalis, chemicals and cleaning agentsMobile use at different workstations without a nearby power socketRegular filling of containers with narrow openingsSmall quantities in laboratory settingsTechnical detailsPump typeCentrifugal pumpDrive typeElectric (battery-powered)Flow rate0 to 12 l/minHead approx.4 mWSViscosity up to approx.200 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter25 mm, infinitely adjustableFor openings from25 mmConnection typeBarrel screw connectionOutlet typeSpout, 203 mm, 16 mm external diameterBattery charging time approx.4 hoursPlugEU, UKProtection classIP 20Materials (in contact with the medium)Polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Hastelloy 2.4610ColourgreyOverview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFor tanks up to5900-105050 cmapprox. 30 litres5900–107070 cmapprox. 60 litres5900-1100100 cmapprox. 220 litresContents of deliveryPump unitDriveBatteryCharger with plugPlug adapterFixed outlet elbowRegulatory informationThe AccuOne is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG.

Bürkle, gas-tight V2A drum pump with hose, depth 91 cm, #5611-0090
It is difficult to transfer outgassing or strongly odourous substances using an open drum pump without odours or vapours escaping. The V2A gas-tight drum pump returns the displaced vapours to the original container via a vapour recovery system using the vapour recirculation method, rather than releasing them into the workspace. The pump body is made of V2A stainless steel and PTFE; two immersion depths of 57 and 91 centimetres cater for drums up to 220 litres.Gas recirculation using the gas swing methodWhen filling the receiving vessel, the inflowing liquid displaces air and vapours from the container. The Gas-Tight V2A Drum Pump returns these vapours to the original container via a vapour recirculation line, rather than releasing them into the surrounding environment. This reduces workplace exposure to solvent vapours and protects against odour nuisance in the case of strongly odourous media.Two ball valves for a hermetically sealed systemA shut-off system comprising two ball valves hermetically seals the flow paths when the pump is not in operation. In combination with the universal adapter, which fits container openings from 16 to 49 millimetres, the system can be connected to various types of drums and canisters without vapours escaping from the connection.V2A stainless steel instead of plasticWhilst the structurally identical ‘Gasdicht’ drum pump in PP design is sufficient for media compatible with plastic, the V2A version made of 1.4301 stainless steel with PTFE internal parts offers greater mechanical robustness and is also suitable for media that would corrode plastic. However, Bürkle expressly warns against using the pump with acetone or similarly dehydrating solvents.Safety and earthingWhen handling flammable, highly flammable liquids, Bürkle states that explosion protection guidelines must be observed; all parts must be earthed and an anti-static kit must also be used. The immersion depth can be continuously adjusted to the actual drum depth for both sizes.Two sizes for different drumsThe 57-centimetre version is designed for smaller drums up to approximately 60 litres and delivers around 330 millilitres per stroke. The 91-centimetre version is suitable for standard 220-litre drums and delivers significantly more per pump stroke – around 540 millilitres – because the longer dip tube covers a greater distance. The same universal adapter is used for both sizes, so changing the drum size does not require an additional adapter.Differences compared to the open drum pumps in the rangeMost other drum pumps in the range, such as the Ultrarein PTFE drum pump, release vapours into the surrounding environment during dispensing, which is not a problem for odourless or non-critical media. Only when odour nuisance, health and safety or emission regulations come into play is the additional cost of a gas-tight system with vapour recovery justified. For media where neither vapour recirculation nor stainless steel is required, a simpler design is often sufficient.Maintenance of ball valves and sealsThe two ball valves and the seals on the adapter connections are the points where a gas-tight system is most likely to fail. Regular checks for leaks, particularly after switching between different container openings, ensure that the gas recirculation system remains reliable and prevents vapours from escaping unnoticed into the environment.Typical areas of applicationDecanting outgassing or strong-odour media in laboratories, production facilities and warehousesBusinesses prioritising emission control and health and safety at the decanting stationConnection to various container openings ranging from 16 to 49 millimetresDecanting from smaller and larger drums, depending on the selected immersion depthTechnical detailsConnection typeDrum couplingThreadG 2 inches, external threadViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter32 mmColoursilverOuter diameter of spout15 mmLength of outlet hose1 mSpout typeSpout hoseFor openings16 to 49 mm (universal adapter)Operating methodManually operatedPump typeReciprocating piston pumpSpecial featuresGas recirculation via gas recirculation line, 2 ball valvesMaterialV2A stainless steel (1.4301), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)Overview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFlow rate approx.For tanks up to5611-109057 cm330 ml/strokeapprox. 60 l5611-009091 cm540 ml per strokeapprox. 220 lContentsGas-tight stainless steel drum pump with outlet hose at the selected immersion depthService and procurementIf a plastic-compatible medium is sufficient, the gas-tight PP drum pump is the lighter and more cost-effective alternative, operating on the same principle. For high-purity media without gas recirculation, the ultra-pure PTFE drum pump is more suitable. LT Laborhandel stocks both immersion depths separately and can advise on the selection based on the drum size and the medium to be transferred.
Bürkle, Ultrarein PTFE drum pump with spout, 40 cm, #5606-0400
Acids, alkalis and other media that corrode polypropylene or PVC require a pump made from an even more resistant material. The Ultrarein PTFE drum pump with outlet elbow is a hand-operated reciprocating piston pump whose parts in contact with the medium are made entirely of PTFE and FEP; it is highly chemically resistant and also suitable for ultra-pure liquids. Three immersion depths ranging from 40 to 95 centimetres cater for canisters and drums up to 220 litres.PTFE and FEP materials for aggressive mediaAccording to Bürkle, PTFE and FEP resist almost all aggressive chemicals with the exception of elemental fluorine, even in applications where polypropylene or PVC would be corroded. This makes the pump a suitable option for acids and alkalis as well as for high-purity liquids in analytical applications, where metal or plastic abrasion from the pump could contaminate the sample.Hand-operated reciprocating piston pump without compressed air connectionUnlike the compressed-air-operated sampling system for solvents, this drum pump does not require a compressor or gas cylinder. A single pump stroke of the handle is sufficient to deliver the medium through the 32-millimetre-thick immersion tube, at a rate of between 180 and 400 millilitres per stroke, depending on the size. This means the pump can also be used where there is no compressed air supply.Fixed spout for the workplaceThe 170-millimetre-long outlet elbow is rigidly mounted and is suitable for applications where the receiving vessel is positioned directly beneath the outlet. All valves in the pump body are made from solid PTFE or PVDF. For those who wish to fill a vessel located further away using a flexible connection, the structurally identical drum pump with hose and shut-off valve offers a suitable alternative; here, an additional tap at the end of the hose also ensures drip-free shut-off after filling.Three immersion depths, three flow ratesThe shortest version, with a 40-centimetre immersion depth, is designed for canisters of up to approximately 30 litres and delivers around 180 millilitres per stroke. The medium size, with a 60-centimetre immersion depth, is suitable for containers of up to 60 litres, delivering approximately 270 millilitres per stroke. The longest version, with a 95-centimetre immersion depth, is suitable for standard 220-litre drums and delivers around 400 millilitres per stroke; the immersion tube can be infinitely adjusted to the drum depth on all three sizes.Equally suitable for analytical work and chemical handlingIn analytical applications, the most important consideration is that no metal or plastic abrasion enters the sample. In chemical dispensing, on the other hand, resistance to aggressive media over many filling cycles is key. The Ultrarein PTFE drum pump meets both requirements with the same PTFE/FEP pump body, eliminating the need to source different materials for different applications. Simply changing the size is sufficient to scale up from small laboratory containers to standard drums.Cleaning and ReuseThe PTFE pump body can be flushed relatively easily between two different media, as the material itself absorbs hardly any residues. This is an advantage over pumps made of polypropylene or PVC, where some media remain on the surface and may continue to have an effect during the next use. Nevertheless, when switching between significantly different chemicals, it is advisable to use a separate pump for each type of medium to ensure that carry-over is completely ruled out.Typical applicationsFilling with acids and alkalis that would corrode polypropylene or PVCDecanting of high-purity liquids in analytical work and sample preparationUse at workstations without a compressed air supplyDecanting from small to large containers, depending on the selected immersion depthTechnical detailsImmersion tube diameter32 mmOuter outlet diameter12 mmLength of outlet bend170 mmSpout typeOutlet elbowViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sColourwhiteDrive typemanually operatedPump typeReciprocating piston pumpAdjust immersion depthcontinuously adjustableMaterialPolytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Fluoroethylene-propylene (FEP)Overview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFlow rate approx.For tanks up to5606-040040 cm180 ml/strokeapprox. 30 l5606-060060 cm270 ml/strokeapprox. 60 l5606-100095 cm400 ml per strokeapprox. 220 lContentsUltrapure PTFE drum pump with outlet elbow at the selected immersion depthService and procurementFor corrosive media in larger quantities and with an electric drive, the drum pump for acids and alkalis is suitable for flow rates of up to 85 litres per minute.

LT Laborhandel orders each immersion depth individually and advises on the selection based on the actual drum size and the medium to be transferred.
Bürkle, mains-powered laboratory pump, PP/PVC, 70 cm, 75 l/min, #5700-2200
Anyone who needs to quickly transfer an acid or alkali from a canister or drum without a seal in the pump coming into contact with the fluid requires a seal-less pump. The mains-powered laboratory pump is designed precisely for this purpose: an electric centrifugal pump made of PP/PVC that delivers aqueous media up to 300 mPas at a flow rate of around 75 l/min, whilst operating without a shaft seal.Seal-less pump unit for corrosive mediaIn conventional centrifugal pumps, the shaft seal is usually the weak point when pumping acids or alkalis. This laboratory pump does away with this seal entirely; the pump is therefore specifically designed for contact with acids and alkalis. The casing and impeller are made of polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), two materials offering broad chemical resistance in everyday laboratory use.Flow rate and viscosity rangeWith a flow rate of around 75 l/min, the pump can quickly transfer even larger volumes from the container. The viscosity limit is approximately 300 mPas, which corresponds to the range of thin to moderately viscous aqueous liquids. The outlet hose is 1 m long; the immersion tube has a diameter of 32 mm and fits through container openings of 32 mm or larger.Two immersion depths for different containersThe shorter version, with a 70 cm immersion depth, is suitable for canisters and containers up to approximately 60 litres. For larger drums up to approximately 220 litres, the version with a 100 cm immersion depth is the right choice. Which variant is required depends on the height of the container at the workplace, regardless of its actual volume.Striking yellow, highly visibleThe pump is finished in high-visibility yellow. In a workplace with several decanting devices, this is a clear advantage: the laboratory pump can be distinguished from other pumping units at a glance, making it easier to avoid confusion when selecting the correct pump.Electric drive instead of a hand pumpCompared to a hand pump, the electric drive saves time and effort when handling larger quantities. Anyone who regularly decants several canisters or an entire drum does not have to pump manually several times, but simply starts the pump and monitors the fill level in the receiving container.Everyday use with acids and alkalisIn chemical stores or at decanting stations, a wide variety of media are frequently used. As the pump unit has no seals that could be corroded by aggressive substances, the pump remains functional even with frequent changes of medium, provided that PP and PVC are compatible with the respective medium.Set-up and operationThe immersion tube is inserted into the container, whilst the outlet hose directs the medium into the destination container. As the pump is designed for container openings from 32 mm, it also fits through the narrower openings of some canisters and drums without the need for an additional funnel or adapter.Switching between multiple workstationsAs the pump is connected to a mains socket, it is best suited to workstations with a fixed power supply near the canister or drum. If no mains power supply is available, a battery-powered or manual alternative is the more practical choice.Typical applicationsDecanting acids and alkalis from canisters and drumsFilling with aqueous media with a viscosity of up to 300 mPasChemical storage facilities and hazardous substance transfer stationsLaboratory workstations involving repeated transfer from narrow container openings from 32 mm upwardsTechnical detailsPump typeCentrifugal pump, seal-lessDrive typeElectricFlow rate approx.75 l/minViscosity up to approx.300 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter32 mmOutlet typeSpout hoseLength of outlet hose1 mMaterialPolypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC)ColouryellowVariants at a glanceItem numberMax. immersion depthFor tanks up to5700-220070 cmapprox. 60 litres5700–4400100 cmapprox. 220 litresContentsMains-powered laboratory pump at the selected immersion depthRegulatory informationThe mains-powered laboratory pump is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG.

Bürkle Drum Pump for Solvents, Electric Centrifugal Pump, Brass/stainless Steel, 5763-0301
Decanting large quantities of ethanol, petrol, methanol or isopropanol from a 220-litre drum using a hand pump is time-consuming and, in the case of highly flammable hydrocarbons, also raises safety concerns. The drum pump for solvents is an electrically powered centrifugal pump that delivers these fluids at a rate of around 95 l per minute; the scope of delivery includes a grounding cable, as electrostatic charging poses a real risk when handling flammable liquids.Electric centrifugal pump for highly flammable hydrocarbonsAn electric motor continuously drives the pump impeller, rather than building up excess pressure in pulses as with a hand pump. This is suitable for fluids such as ethanol, petrol, butanol, isopropanol, kerosene or methanol, which need to be moved in large quantities on a regular basis in workshops, laboratories or industrial settings, without each drum having to be pumped by hand for several minutes.For drums up to 220 l, infinitely adjustableThe 41-millimetre-diameter dip tube can be infinitely adjusted to the depth of the drum; at full immersion, it extends up to 100 centimetres into the drum. The 2-metre-long outlet hose provides reach and distance from the drum during filling, which, in the case of flammable liquids, also helps to minimise contact between the operator and the outlet. With a viscosity limit of up to 500 mPa·s, the pump is suitable for common low-viscosity solvents and fuels.Materials and chemical resistanceParts in contact with the medium are made of brass (MS), stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A) and polypropylene. Before use with a specific solvent, the chemical resistance of these materials to the respective medium should be checked, particularly in the case of aromatic or halogenated compounds, which can attack plastic parts more severely than pure alcohols. The black colour scheme visually distinguishes the pump from the yellow drum pump for mineral oils, making it easier to assign it to the correct medium in the warehouse or workshop.Safety when handling flammable liquidsAn earthing cable is included in the Scope of delivery so that the pump is ready for immediate use. Bürkle also draws attention to the explosion protection guidelines when handling flammable, highly flammable liquids: all parts must be earthed; in addition, the manufacturer recommends an anti-static kit. The product page does not specify a specific ATEX certification number; the information provided is intended as guidance for safe operation.Regulatory informationThe drum pump for solvents is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG. Information on the proper return of waste electrical and electronic equipment can be found under ‘Environment and Disposal’.If a different medium is used or no mains supply is availableFor non-explosive mineral oil products such as diesel or hydraulic oil, the structurally identical drum pump for mineral oils, made from aluminium and stainless steel, is the more suitable and specifically designed choice. For acids and alkalis, drum pumps made of PP, PVC, Hastelloy or PVDF are suitable, such as the drum pump for concentrated acids and alkalis. If no mains power supply is available, or if an electric drive is deliberately avoided in the Ex zone, the compressed-air-operated dispensing system for solvents with a discharge hose covers comparable drum sizes without the need for an electric motor.Typical applicationsFilling highly flammable hydrocarbons such as ethanol, petrol or methanolDecanting isopropanol, butanol or kerosene from 220-litre drumsBusinesses with regular, high-volume solvent handlingApplications where a hand pump is no longer sufficient to achieve the required flow rateWorkstations with a permanently installed power supply and existing earthingLaboratory supply and chemical storage facilities with regular drum handlingTechnical detailsMaterialBrass (MS), stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A), polypropylene (PP)Drive typeElectricPump typeCentrifugal pumpConnection typeBarrel couplingFlow rate approx.95 l/minViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter41 mmImmersion depth adjustmentcontinuously adjustableMax. immersion depth100 cmLength of outlet hose2 mSpout typeOutlet hoseColourblackSpecial featuresIncludes earthing cableFor containers up toapprox. 220 lScope of deliveryDrum pump for solvents, including earth cableService and procurementFor businesses that transfer not only solvents but also mineral oils or acids, LT Laborhandel puts together the right combination of several drum pump variants, rather than having to enquire about each pump individually.

Bürkle, Ultrarein PTFE drum pump with hose & tap, 40 cm, #5606-0401
Anyone wishing to transfer a corrosive acid or a high-purity liquid not directly beneath the drum, but into a vessel situated further away or at a lower level, requires room to manoeuvre at the outlet. The Ultrarein PTFE drum pump with hose and tap is the flexible counterpart to the drum pump with a fixed outlet elbow; it is of identical construction with a pump body made of PTFE and FEP, but features a flexible outlet hose and a PVDF shut-off tap at the end.Flexible hose instead of a rigid elbowThe PTFE outlet hose directs the fluid to the desired point regardless of the drum’s position; depending on the size, the length ranges from around 65 centimetres to 1 metre. This also allows containers to be filled that are not positioned directly beneath the pump, such as on a set of scales next to the drum or on a second shelf.PVDF shut-off valve to prevent drippingA shut-off valve made of solid PVDF is fitted at the end of the hose. It prevents the medium from continuing to drip after the valve has been closed and retains vapours that are hazardous to health as long as the valve remains closed. This facilitates filling several smaller containers in batches without having to switch the pump off in between.PTFE, FEP and PVDF materials for aggressive mediaAs with the outlet elbow version, the pump body is made of PTFE and FEP, which are chemically resistant to almost all corrosive liquids except elemental fluorine. The additional PVDF shut-off valve adds a third highly resistant fluoroplastic to the list of materials, without compromising the pump’s fundamental suitability for acids, alkalis and high-purity media.Three immersion depths for different containersThe shortest version, with an immersion depth of 40 centimetres, is suitable for canisters up to approximately 30 litres and delivers around 180 millilitres per stroke. The medium size, with a 60-centimetre immersion depth, is suitable for containers up to 60 litres, whilst the longest version, with a 95-centimetre immersion depth, is suitable for standard 220-litre drums, delivering around 400 millilitres per stroke. The 60- and 95-centimetre versions both feature a 1-metre-long outlet hose.When the hose and tap make all the differenceA gap between the keg and the receiving vessel, a shelf blocking direct access, or several smaller vessels to be filled one after the other: in all these cases, the extra effort involved in using a hose and tap is well worth it compared to the simpler version with a fixed spout. If, on the other hand, the receiving vessel is always in the same position directly beneath the keg, the more compact version without a movable hose is often sufficient.Three immersion depths for the same designAs with the spouted version, the choice of immersion depth depends on the drum size at the workplace. The 40-centimetre version is suitable for canisters, the 60-centimetre version for medium-sized drums, and the 95-centimetre version for standard 220-litre drums. The flow rate and dip tube diameter are identical for both spout types at each immersion depth; the difference lies solely in the spout.Typical applicationsFilling acids and alkalis into a vessel situated at a distance or at a lower levelBatch transfer of high-purity liquids with a shut-off valve to prevent drippingWorkstations where the receiving vessel cannot be positioned directly beneath the pumpTransferring liquids from small to large containers, depending on the selected immersion depthTechnical detailsImmersion tube diameter32 mmOuter diameter of outlet10 mmOutlet typeOutlet hose with shut-off valveViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sColourwhiteDrive typemanually operatedPump typeReciprocating piston pumpAdjust immersion depthcontinuously adjustableMaterialPolytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Fluoroethylene-propylene (FEP), shut-off valve made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)Overview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depthFlow rate approx.For tanks up to5606-040140 cm180 ml/strokeapprox. 30 l5606-060160 cm270 ml per strokeapprox. 60 l5606-100195 cm400 ml per strokeapprox. 220 lThe length of the outlet hose is 1 metre for the 60- and 95-cm versions.

For larger volumes with an electric drive, the drum pump for acids and alkalis is more suitable. LT Laborhandel orders each immersion depth individually and provides advice on selection based on the drum size and the medium.
Bürkle, drum pump for acids and alkalis, 100 cm, 85 l/min, #5762-0100
Pumping large quantities of low-viscosity acid from a drum using a hand pump is, at some point, simply a matter of time. The drum pump for acids and alkalis is an electrically driven centrifugal pump made of polypropylene, PVC and Hastelloy C-4, which delivers up to 85 litres per minute. Two immersion depths, 100 and 120 centimetres, are suitable for standard drums up to 220 litres.Electric centrifugal pump instead of manual labourInstead of one pump stroke per batch, an electric motor drives the centrifugal pump continuously. With a flow rate of around 85 litres per minute and a delivery head of approximately 19 metres of water column, the pump is designed for larger transfer volumes, where a hand-operated pump such as the Ultrarein PTFE drum pump would reach its limits. The 2-metre-long outlet hose provides additional manoeuvring space at the receiving vessel.Materials for low-viscosity acidsThe pump body is made of polypropylene and PVC, whilst the internal parts in contact with the medium are made of Hastelloy C-4 (2.4610). Bürkle lists phosphoric acid, chromic acid, battery acid and citric acid as typical media for use. The pump is expressly not suitable for hydrochloric acid, and chemical resistance should be checked against the manufacturer’s compatibility list before use.Two immersion depths for standard drumsThe 100-centimetre version and the 120-centimetre version differ solely in their immersion depth; all other technical specifications, such as flow rate, immersion tube diameter and hose length, are identical for both. The immersion tube can be adjusted continuously to the actual drum depth.Distinction from the version for concentrated acidsFor highly corrosive media such as sulphuric acid, nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid, the PP pump body of this version is not chemically suitable. For such applications, there is a drum pump of identical construction designed for concentrated acids and alkalis, featuring a pump body made of PVDF.G 1 1/4-inch thread instead of the standard G 2-inchUnlike most other drum pumps in the range, which fit standard drum fittings with a G 2-inch thread, this series uses a G 1 1/4-inch thread. It is therefore worth checking the existing drum fitting at the workplace before ordering to ensure the pump fits without the need for an additional adapter.Check the compatibility list before useAcids with similar names can vary greatly in concentration and temperature, and it is precisely these factors that determine whether polypropylene, PVC and Hastelloy C-4 remain resistant in the long term. Bürkle therefore expressly refers to its own compatibility list, which should be consulted before using the pump with a new medium for the first time. This is particularly important if an acid has previously only been transferred using a different pump model.Yellow colour scheme for quick identificationThe pump’s yellow colour clearly distinguishes it on the shelf from the stainless steel and PTFE drum pumps in the other series. In businesses that use several types of drum pump simultaneously, this helps to distinguish at a glance the correct pump for acids and alkalis from models designed for solvents or gas-tight applications.Electric drive instead of pump strokeWhereas a manually operated reciprocating piston pump will eventually run out of steam when handling larger volumes, the electric motor of the centrifugal pump continues to run continuously as long as the drum is supplying medium. This makes the pump the more practical choice when several drums are regularly decanted one after the other, rather than in individual small batches.Typical applicationsTransferring low-viscosity acids such as phosphoric acid, chromic acid or battery acidLarger transfer volumes from standard drums up to 220 litresLaboratories and production facilities where acids are handled regularlyTransferring citric acid and other low-viscosity organic acidsTechnical detailsConnection typeDrum couplingThreadG 1 1/4 inch, external threadFlow rate approx.85 l/minDelivery head approx.19 mWSViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter41 mmColouryellowLength of outlet hose2 mFor containers up toapprox. 220 lDrive typeelectricPump typeCentrifugal pumpImmersion depth adjustmentInfinitely adjustableMaterialPolypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Hastelloy C-4 (2.4610)Overview of variantsItem numberMax. immersion depth5762-0100100 cm5762-0101120 cmScope of deliveryDrum pump for acids and alkalis at the selected immersion depthRegulatory informationThe drum pump for acids and alkalis is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG. Information on returns can be found under ‘Environment and Disposal’.Service and procurementIf a manually operated solution is sufficient for smaller quantities, the Ultrarein PTFE drum pump is the more compact alternative that does not require a mains connection. For highly corrosive, concentrated acids and alkalis, the PVDF version is more suitable chemically. LT Laborhandel stocks both immersion depths separately and can advise on the selection based on the medium and drum size.
Bürkle, dispensing system for solvent drain hoses, 95 cm, #5603-5004
The solvent dispensing system with discharge hose features a drum pump fitted with a flexible discharge hose. The hose enables the solvent to be safely transferred into containers located at a greater distance and accurately metered. Fitted with a drum coupling for steel drums with an R 2" thread. Can be adapted for use with standard containers using threaded adaptors. The solvent dispensing system allows high-purity liquids to be dispensed quickly and easily. Compressed gas (compressed air or nitrogen) is used to create positive pressure inside the container, which forces the liquid out of the container. Operation using compressed gas offers the advantage that the user can dispense even large quantities effortlessly, whilst keeping both hands free to pour the solvent. This also allows hazardous substances, such as acetone, ethanol, methanol, etc., to be dispensed safely and precisely metered via the drain tap. When used with oxygen-sensitive or ultra-pure substances, operation with an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) is possible. The drum coupling and shut-off valves seal the drum and pump hermetically. This prevents any solvent-containing vapours from escaping after filling – thereby protecting users’ health and the environment. The portable dispensing system allows for flexible operation. It consists of a drum pump and a mountable pressure regulator unit, which adjusts the inlet pressure and provides additional protection against misuse. A pressure gauge allows for visual monitoring of the inlet pressure. The pump can be easily secured to the container using a drum coupling. The compressed air or nitrogen connection (3–10 bar) can be supplied via a mobile or stationary compressed air source. The solvent dispensing system enables the safe and accurate filling of various solvents in laboratory and industrial settings. Flexible connection options; operation with compressed air or inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) Parts in contact with the medium made from stainless steel (1.4301) and PTFE Includes transport stand, earthing cable for pressure regulator, connecting hose, spanner and adaptor for pressure supply Pressure supply adaptor (G 1/4"): 1x coupling plug, nominal width 7.2 mm; 1x hose nozzle for internal Ø 6 mm; 1x hose nozzle for internal Ø 8 mm For UN containers and drums (test pressure min. 150 kPa) The unit complies with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU Warning! When working with flammable liquids, the container, pump and pressure regulator must be earthed! Use an anti-static kit for the pump as well! Sterility: No
Bürkle Drum Pump for Mineral Oils, Electric Centrifugal Pump, Aluminium/stainless Steel, 5763-0100
Using a hand pump to transfer diesel, heating oil, hydraulic oil or engine oil from a 220-litre drum takes quite a while. The drum pump for mineral oils is an electrically driven centrifugal pump and, at around 85 l per minute, delivers a significantly higher flow rate; it is designed for low-viscosity mineral oil products that are regularly handled in large quantities, such as in vehicle fleets, workshops or maintenance operations.Electric centrifugal pump for high flow ratesInstead of a pump ball or pedal, an electric motor drives the pump impeller; the oil is delivered continuously, rather than in strokes as with a reciprocating piston pump. With a delivery head of around 19 metres of water column, the pump’s capacity remains sufficient even if the receiving container is positioned at a higher level or the hose needs to be routed over a longer distance, for example to a higher-level collection tank.For drums up to 220 l, infinitely adjustableThe 41-millimetre-diameter immersion tube can be infinitely adjusted to the depth of the drum; at full immersion depth, it extends up to 100 centimetres into the drum. The 2-metre-long outlet hose provides the necessary distance and reach to the target container during filling, for example when a collection vessel is positioned slightly away from the drum. With a viscosity limit of up to 500 mPa·s, the pump covers common low-viscosity mineral oil products, from diesel to hydraulic oil.Materials for mineral oil productsThe pump is manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti), supplemented by polypropylene. Before use with a specific medium, the chemical resistance of these materials to the relevant oil should be checked, particularly in the case of additives or blended products that differ from pure mineral oils. The yellow colour scheme also makes the pump instantly distinguishable from other drum pumps in a vehicle fleet or warehouse, which makes it easier to match it to the correct medium in day-to-day use.Continuous rather than reciprocating operationUnlike a reciprocating piston pump, which delivers liquid in batches with each stroke, the centrifugal pump runs continuously as long as the motor is switched on. This is particularly advantageous when several drums need to be emptied in succession, for example when filling larger storage tanks or refuelling machinery and vehicles directly from the drum, without having to interrupt the pumping action manually in between.Regulatory informationThe drum pump for mineral oils is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the ElektroG. Information on the proper return of waste electrical and electronic equipment can be found under ‘Environment and Disposal’.If a different medium or drive type is requiredFor highly flammable hydrocarbons such as ethanol, petrol or methanol, the drum pump for solvents - which comes with an earthing cable and explosion-proof safety instructions, is the more suitable choice, as this drum pump for mineral oils is not designed for handling potentially explosive media. For acids and alkalis, drum pumps made of PP, PVC, Hastelloy or PVDF are suitable alternatives, such as the drum pump for acids and alkalis. If no mains power supply is available, the compressed-air-powered dispensing system for solvents with a discharge hose can handle comparable drum sizes without an electric drive.Typical applicationsFilling with diesel, heating oil and hydraulic oil from 220-litre drumsDecanting machine and engine oil in workshops and vehicle fleetsBusinesses with regular, high-volume oil handlingApplications where a hand pump is no longer sufficient to achieve the required flow rateRefuelling machinery and vehicles directly from the storage drumTransfer stations with a permanently installed power supplyTechnical detailsMaterialAluminium, stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti), polypropylene (PP)Drive typeElectricPump typeCentrifugal pumpConnection typeBarrel coupling, external threadFlow rate approx.85 l/minHead approx.19 mWSViscosity up to approx.500 mPa·sImmersion tube diameter41 mmAdjust immersion depthcontinuously adjustableMax. immersion depth100 cmLength of outlet hose2 mSpout typeOutlet hoseColouryellowFor containers up toapprox. 220 lScope of deliveryDrum pump for mineral oilsService and procurementFor businesses that transfer solvents or acids as well as mineral oils, LT Laborhandel puts together the right combination of several drum pump variants, rather than you having to enquire about each pump individually.

Bürkle Gas-tight PP Drum Pump, Universal Plug 34 to 70 mm, Telescopic Dip Tube 40 to 67 cm, 5610-1030
The Bürkle gas-tight PP drum pump, reference number 5610-1030, is a hand-operated reciprocating piston pump designed for decanting from drums or jerry cans. It connects to the container via a variable universal plug that fits openings ranging from 34 to 70 mm. A vapour return line returns the vapour phase; both lines are fitted with a shut-off valve. The pump delivers 220 ml per stroke and, via a telescopic tube, extends 40 to 67 cm into the container.Universal stopper for openings from 34 to 70 mmThis model is the ideal choice for containers with openings of varying widths. The stopper fits variably into openings ranging from 34 to 70 mm; a second stopper is included with the original container. If you require a securely screwed hose connection on the container, compare this with the 5610-1040 drum pump, which features 3/4-inch threaded adaptors.Gas displacement method for low-odour transferIn the gas-balancing method, the displaced gas returns via a separate line, which, like the liquid line, is fitted with a shut-off valve. The pump is designed for the low-odour transfer of volatile, strong-smelling or hazardous liquids in laboratories, production facilities and warehouses. One example of a strongly odourous substance is ammonia. Acids and alkalis can also be transferred, although the compatibility of the materials PP, PE and PVC with the medium must be taken into account. The outlet hose is made of soft PVC and is 1.2 m long.Stroke, tube and immersion depthEach stroke dispenses 220 ml. The tube has a diameter of 22 mm, whilst the immersion tube is 32 mm in diameter. The immersion depth can be adjusted continuously between 40 and 67 cm, allowing the length to be adapted to the container. The piston has a handle.Flammable liquids are prohibitedThe user manual excludes the transfer of flammable liquids; the pump is not suitable for this purpose. The material is non-conductive. The Bürkle SafetyBox 2507-9000, complete with safety goggles and protective gloves, is suitable for this purpose.Operation and installationThe pump is operated manually and is not intended for continuous use. It may be operated at temperatures between 0 and 40 °C and only indoors; it is not dishwasher-safe and is not intended for use with contaminated media. There must be space above the container for the extended piston plus 20 cm. The pump is maintenance-free.Typical applicationsDecanting volatile, strong-smelling or harmful liquids in the laboratoryFilling with strongly odourous substances such as ammoniaDecanting acids and alkalis from drums and jerrycansFilling in production and storage into containers with openings ranging from 34 to 70 mmTechnical detailsConnection optionsAdjustable universal stopper for container openings from 34 to 70 mmPump typeReciprocating piston pump, manually operated, not suitable for continuous useFlow rate220 ml/strokeTube diameter22 mmImmersion tube diameter32 mmImmersion depth40 to 67 cm, infinitely adjustableOutlet1.2 m outlet hose with shut-off valveGas returnGas supply line, gas and liquid lines, each with a shut-off valveMaterialsPP, PE, PVCColourgrey/blueOperating temperature0 to 40 °CLimitationsNot suitable for flammable liquids, for indoor use only, not suitable for contaminated media, not dishwasher-safePackaging unit1 pieceScope of deliveryGas-tight PP drum pump with infinitely extendable telescopic dip tube (40 to 67 cm) and reciprocating piston with handle1.2 m outlet hose with shut-off valveGas supply line with shut-off valvePlug for the original containerUniversal adapter (adjustable plug) for the dispensing containerInstructions for useFrequently asked questionsCan I fill containers with flammable liquids?
