Rechargeable drum pump motor

A lithium ion cordless rechargeable drum pump motor, developed by Finish Thompson (FTI) and available through Michael Smith Engineers, can be used to transfer liquids from drums and barrels safely and cleanly in applications where there is no electrical or air supply available to drive the pump motor and where manual, hand-operated pumps are not an option. 

The S6 12-Volt rechargeable 2-speed drum pump motor can be used with any of the Finish Thompson EF polypropylene, pure polypropylene/PVDF or stainless steel tube sets. The result is a versatile and portable option for remote or difficult-to-access drum emptying applications.  

The cordless design makes 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, as the batteries have no ‘memory’ effect they can be recharged at any state of discharge. 

The S6 rechargeable drum pump motor has a solid-state electronic control circuit that monitors all aspects of the motor and battery pack to ensure reliable operation and long-life, while dual cooling fans help to 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. For permanent charging locations, a moulded wall hanger is available which stores the charger unit internally.            

On the low speed setting, the pump / motor will run for about 50min between charges and on the high speed setting, it will run for around 20min.
