No power? No problem

The ability to transfer fluids safely and cleanly from drums and barrels, even when an electrical or air supply to power a pump is not available, is possible using a new rechargeable drum pump motor from Finish Thompson that is available from Michael Smith Engineers.

The S6 12-Volt Lithium Ion cordless drum pump motor fits all EF pump tubes, making it easy to transfer fluids virtually anywhere, with maximum fade-free performance, equivalent to a corded AC powered motor. The latest Lithium ion batteries enable the pumps to operate effectively for up to 50min between charges. Also, Lithium ion batteries have no 'memory' effect, so they can be recharged at any state of discharge.

The unit has a solid-state electronic control circuit that monitors all aspects of the motor and battery pack to ensure reliable operation and long-life; dual cooling fans help improve the performance and life of the battery pack. Multiple charging options include 115 or 230V AC and, for mobile applications, an automobile or commercial vehicle 12V port option will suffice.
