    Why should I use a solvent drum pump?

    Using a drum pump for solvents and acetone offers several advantages, particularly in terms of safety, efficiency, and precision. Here are some key reasons:

    1. Safety: Many solvents are highly flammable and volatile, and therefore present significant risks if not handled properly. Solvent transfer pumps help minimise spills, splashes and human contact with these hazardous substances. Therefore risk of fire, explosion and harm to operatives is reduced.
    2. Control and Precision: Drum pumps provide greater control over the dispensing process, allowing for accurate measurement and transfer of solvents. This precision is important when accurate dispensing is critical. For instance, in laboratory settings or manufacturing processes.
    3. Reduced Waste: By providing a controlled and efficient transfer method, solvent drum pumps help reduce waste. This is both economically beneficial and environmentally responsible, as it minimises the amount of hazardous waste generated.
    4. Ease of Use: Drum pumps are designed to facilitate the transfer of liquids from different sized containers, making the process cost-effective and manageable. Our solvent drum pump features an ergonomic design and is available with electric, or pneumatic motor to suit different applications.
    5. Compatibility and Durability: Drum pumps made from materials resistant to chemical attack, such as stainless steel and PTFE, are used for handling solvents. Subsequently, this ensures the longevity of the pump and prevents contamination of the fluids being transferred.
    6. Prevention of Contamination: Using a solvent transfer pump reduces exposure of the liquid to the atmosphere and reduces the potential for contamination. Plus there will also be a reduction in emissions of harmful vapours.
    7. Compliance with Regulations: Flux drum pumps help organisations comply with ATEX and DSEAR guidance, by providing a safer and more controlled method of transferring flammable media. All Flux solvent pumps are Ex- approved for use in Zones 0, 1 and 2.

    How do you work safely with solvents?

    When working with solvents, take the following safety measures:

    • Keep solvents in durable, chemically compatible sealed containers.
    • Clearly label each container.
    • Implement emergency safety procedures and designate evacuation routes for fire or spill emergencies.
    • Wear appropriate protective clothing.
    • Minimise risk of exposure to flammable vapours / harmful fumes.
    • Ensure containers and pumping / mixing equipment is earthed correctly before use.
    • Check all components are Ex-certified and electrically conductive, as appropriate.
