Pneumatic 55 Gallon Drum Pump
What is the Reversible Drum Pump?
Information
How does a Drum pump work?
The Streamtek reversible Drum Storm can be attached to a closed-head drum (30/50 US Gallon, 205 Liter, or 45 Imperial gallon drum). Ensure that the drum pump is securely attached to the drum. Next, turn the knob of the Drum Storm counterclockwise. In less than 2 minutes, a high-powered vacuum fills up the drum.
The drum and the pump are now ready to suck in a myriad of liquids. Just turn the Drum Storm’s knob clockwise and the stainless steel pump will then empty the drum in 2 minutes or less.
The drum pump has been fitted with a regulator and a shut-off valve to enable users to control the flow rate of the liquid in question.
Available Options
We offer drum pump in two available options. First option is unit only. Second option is a deluxe kit which includes the unit, a 90° quick release elbow, a standpipe with 2” NPT male adapter, a 1-1/2” PVC vacuum with rubber cuffs, a 14” double blade floor squeegee, two 19” straight plastic wands and a crevice tool. More details can be found below.

Why the reversible Drum pump?
The Drum Storm drum pump was designed as an alternative to electrically powered vacuums that have many drawbacks. For instance, they wear out in no time, their motor is prone to stalling or freezing during operation, or the impellers clog when used with certain materials.
These disadvantages are conspicuous by their absence in the Streamtek reversible Drum Storm because it has no motor, impellers, or moving parts. The only movable part on the drum pump is its knob. You do not have to worry about spills or overflows because the Drum Storm comprises a built-in automatic safety feature.
However, it is important to note that the Reversible Drum Storm system must be used on a drum with a nominal wall thickness of at least 1.5mm (16 gauge) that is in good condition.

How it Works
(A) The Adjustable knob controls whether the Drum Storm unit creates a vacuum within the drum OR a pressure to empty the drum.
(B) Compressed air flows through the 1/4″ NPTM inlet and into the stainless steel drum pump unit.
(C) The liquid enters the drum through a tube assembly that is threaded into the large drum hold. A 90-degree quick release elbow connects the tube assembly to the vacuum hose!

Highly flammable liquids should not be used on such pneumatic systems! The Streamtek Liquid Drum Pump (Drum Storm) is safe for cooling, water, gear oils, and detergents. Typically used for liquids that have a viscosity close to water. Liquids of higher viscosity (ie. motor oil) will have a slower transfer rate.
So why the Streamtek Drum Storm? Simple. Zero Maintenance! Our Liquid Drum Pump is constructed of highly durable stainless steel to handle wide range of materials. There are no blades or propellers to wear out either! With virtually no moving parts, the Streamtek Liquid Drum Pump will last for years to come.
