Manual drum pumps for industrial and chemical applications

Hand operated drum pumps - also referred to as rotary drum pumps, barrel hand pumps or manual drum pumps - are widely used for precise, low-effort liquid transfer across industrial and chemical applications. These pumps deliver consistent performance while allowing operators to control flow rates and reduce the risk associated with powered pumping systems.

Available in a range of materials and designs, Global Pumps’ hand pumps for chemical transfer are suitable for oils, fuels, solvents, water-based fluids and corrosive chemicals. Commonly used across chemical processing, mining, manufacturing and industrial maintenance environments, these pumps offer a practical, cost-effective solution for safe drum and barrel emptying

Safe handling of hazardous liquids

Hand-operated drum pumps provide controlled decanting of combustible, corrosive or hazardous fluids, allowing operators to work at a safe and manageable transfer rate.

Commonly used across chemical processing, mining and industrial facilities, these hand operated barrel pumps are ideal for transferring liquids from large drums into smaller containers. Pump tube length should be selected based on drum size, with options available for 20 litre, 200 litre (44 gallon) and 250 litre (55 gallon) drums.

Recommended rotary drum pumps for 20 Litre drums

For 20 L drum hand pump applications, we recommend the Techniflo TP-05 or TP-07. Both models can also be used in drums up to 205 L, offering flexibility as your requirements change.
