Barrel pumps
Barrel pumps are pumps that are designed to pump liquid from small-volume tanks. They are mainly used to transport mixtures between barrels. Hence the name of this type of device. Also, barrel pumps can be used for pumping liquids in trays, baths, large buckets or pits. Usually, barrel pumps are used in enterprises as the final component of the manufacturing process: for packing products in smaller containers. Less often, barrel pumps are relevant for feeding raw materials to industrial facilities.
Barrel pump design.
The barrel pump is presented in the form of a simple design, which is based on an electric motor with a drive. It is connected by means of a nut to the working part of the device. This approach allows you to use a single electric motor with different working parts and increase the overall productivity and economy of the system.
The working part of the barrel pump is presented in the form of a special pipe with a long shaft inside it. There is an impeller at the end of the pipe. This part is mainly made of resistant materials, namely aluminum, stainless steel or polypropylene. The choice of material depends on the model of the barrel pump and affects its power and efficiency. In order to choose the right model, it is necessary to analyze what liquid the pump will interact with. The medium may differ in the viscosity or acidity of the medium.
