Pumps for drums and barrels

DRUM EMPTYING PUMPS, BARRELS AND CONTAINERS

PUMPS FOR DRUMS AND BARRELS

Savino Barbera drum and barrel pumps are portable pumps =suitable for fast emptying, intermittent transfer and rapid withdrawal of chemicals and corrosive liquids (non-abrasive and low viscosity) from various types of small container (drums, cans, IBCs, barrels, jerrycans, tanks). Their use always requires an operator and keeping the shaft in a vertical position in the fluid to be pumped. Savino Barbera drum pumps are equipped with single-phase electric or pneumatic motors. For potentially explosive atmospheres or for flammable liquids, Atex versions are available on request (certified pumps or pumps with explosion-proof motors).

Technical specifications

Maximum flow rate: 90 l/min.
Maximum head: 15 m w.c.
Construction materials: PP, PVDF, AISI 304 and AISI 316.
Length of suction tube: 700, 900 and 1200 mm.
Motors: single-phase electric and compressed air pneumatic motors.
Easy to handle and use pumps.
Corrosion-resistant chemical pumps.

PLASTIC PUMPS FOR DRUMS

Drum pumps made of non-corrosive plastic (PP and PVDF). Available in both electric and pneumatic versions. Examples of liquids chemically compatible with PP drum pumps: mildly aggressive liquids, photographic development agents, glycols, acids and bases with low concentrations. Examples of some aggressive liquids suitable for PVDF drum pumps: concentrated chemicals (such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid) or hot corrosive products.

METALLIC PUMPS FOR DRUMS

Drum and barrel pumps are also manufactured in metal versions (AISI 304 and AISI 316) and are available in both electric and pneumatic versions. They can be used for: lubricants, light oils, non-viscous hydraulic oils, very hot liquids (non Atex pumps). Or for flammable products such as petrol, diesel, paraffin or petroleum or for solvents such as acetone, ethanol, methanol or other products such as urea or AdBlue additives (Atex version pumps).

PFT DECRUSTING PUMPS

Various types of incrustation can form inside civil and industrial systems. Savino Barbera descaling pumps (consisting of anti-corrosion pumps and tanks) can easily dissolve these buildups which reduce the yield of the hydraulic circuits, both in terms of heat exchange and flow rate. They are chemical washing units which do not require any suspension of production. Furthermore, as they have no metal parts in direct contact with corrosive liquids, they are immune to chemical aggression of any kind. Savino Barbera PFTs can therefore be used for the chemical descaling of: cooling towers, boilers, condensers, heating systems, radiators, mould equipment, coils. Savino Barbera descaling units are compatible with: liquid descaling agents, surfactants, neutralisers, alkaline mixtures, colour indicators, acid detergents, chemical additives, degreasers, corrosion inhibitors, passivating acids, dispersing agents. And, of course, they can easily remove: algae, bacteria, corrosion residues, impurities, sludge build-up, scale, salts, rust clumps and limescale deposits. And all this, without dismantling pipes or circuits and without causing plant stoppages.

Technical specifications

Pump construction materials: PP, PVC, PVDF.
Tanks with different capacities: 30, 60, 108, 230, 315 litres.
Maximum flow rate of 40 m³/h.
Maximum head of 25 m w.c.

Base model: PFT31

The PFT31 descaling pumps, like all Savino Barbera descalers, have the precise function of removing deposits and concretions by flushing them with suitable acid solutions. They are the most compact model of the PFT descaling pumps: they have a 30 litre tank and a pump with a maximum flow rate of 3 m³/h and a maximum head of 20 m w.c. They are practical, portable units suitable for rapid chemical cleaning of small systems. The PFT31 are suitable for services that are not prolonged in time. Some examples of compatible aggressive liquids: hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid, buffered hydrochloric acid, citric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, passivating acids.

Other descaling pumps

Depending on the chemical pumps and tanks, the Savino Barbera descaling systems are also available in four other sizes (PFT61, PFT108, PFT230, PFT351) with the same function: to eliminate impurities and sediments (metal oxides, rust, lime scale). These washing units bring the operation of the circuits of medium and large sized plants back to normal levels, without ever stopping production. On the contrary, they are recommended as regular maintenance only, to prevent reductions in hydraulic performance and to maintain industrial operability. Max. flow rate: 40 m³/h. Max. head of 25 m w.c. Also available in wheeled version.
