Plastic Siphon Drum Pump for 15-55 Gallon Drums
A Light Siphon Pump That Reaches the Bottom of the Drum
What This Product Is
A manual polyethylene siphon pump for 15 to 55 gallon drums, fitted with a flexible hose long enough to reach the drum base. It is the lightest way to draw liquid out of a drum by hand and is used for water, light oils, AdBlue and similar fluids.
Key Benefits
- The flexible hose reaches the bottom, so the drum is emptied properly
- An ergonomic low weight body makes it easy to lift between drums
- Polyethylene is compatible with a wide range of common fluids
- Hand operation means no power is needed at the drum
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Rigid pump tubes leave the last few litres in the bottom of the drum
- Heavy metal pumps are awkward to move between drums in a store
- Tipping a drum to get the last of the contents out is the main cause of spills
Application Scenarios
- Small workshops and yards drawing occasional quantities from drums
- Users who move one pump between several drums during a shift
- Operations that need to empty a drum fully before it is returned

How to Specify and Use It

Insert the hose so it reaches the drum base before starting
Prime the siphon and keep the discharge lower than the liquid level
Rinse the hose and pump body after use and drain before storage
Comparison With Other Products
The siphon pump is the simplest and lightest option in the pump range, but flow depends on head rather than a rated output. The lever action pump gives 320ml per stroke and the rotary pump 20L/min, both of which are the better choice where the transfer has to be quick or measured.
Customisation
Sizes, colours and materials can be adapted where the product allows it, and branding can be applied to closures and cap seals. Confirm the change you need when you send the enquiry.
Quality Control
United Packaging operates a professional quality control system under ISO 9001 certification, following quality management procedures intended to minimise the risk of defects.
