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.
