As the name implies, barrel pumps are designed to pump liquid media from containers such as barrels, Eurocubes, tanks, etc. During pumping, they perform various tasks in relation to the consumer: filling, emptying, pumping over horizontal and vertical distances.
Barrel pumps can be classified as semi-submersible pumps. The only difference between barrel pumps and semi-submersible vertical column centrifugal pumps is that barrel pumps are primarily designed for pumping liquids from small containers with low capacity and relatively short distances.
The advantages of barrel pumps include the following:
- Can be used in most standard containers
- Ability to pump liquids without residue
- Possibility of precise pumping
- Easy maintenance and operation
- Liquids can be pumped over long distances while maintaining performance
- Possibility to adjust the pump capacity
Disadvantages of barrel pumps
- Restrictions on the viscosity and density of the pumped liquids
- Not designed for high voltage and performance
Where to use it?
Barrel pumps are used in a wide range of industries. They are used for pumping chemicals, acids and alkalis in the chemical industry and for emptying small tanks in the laboratories of chemical companies. They are also used in the food industry to pump liquid media used in production.
From the photo, it can be concluded that barrel pumps are mainly made up of:
- electric motor
- camera mounting nut
- camera
- outlet pipe with nut
- working chamber
- stator
- rotor
