Piston Barrel Pump

Top-Quality Air Operated Piston Type Barrel Pump - Safe and Efficient


The Air Operated Piston Barrel Pump is a reliable, pneumatically operated piston pump designed for effortless and safe transfer of liquids directly from barrels and drums. Its robust SS-316 construction and air-operated mechanism make it ideal for handling corrosive, flammable, or high-viscosity fluids across various industrial applications.

Working Principle of Air Operated Piston Type Barrel Pump:

The Air Operated Piston Type Barrel Pump works on a reciprocating principle powered by compressed air. When air pressure 2.5–9 kg/cm² is applied, it drives the piston up and down creating suction on the upward stroke to draw liquid in the barrel pump, and pressure on the downward stroke to discharge it through the outlet of the piston pump. This continuous action provides a steady, controllable flow without the need for electricity. SS-316 piston barrel pump is suitable for highly corrosion-resistant and ideal for safely transferring solvents, and other hazardous or viscous liquids directly from barrels or drums.

Advantages of Antlia Piston Type Barrel Pump

  • Air Operated Pump – No Electrical Hazard: Safe for use in flammable or explosive atmospheres since no electricity is required.
  • High Chemical Resistance: SS-316 barrel pump construction ensures excellent compatibility with solvents and petroleum liquids.
  • Variable Flow Control: Flow of the air pump can be easily adjusted by regulating inlet air pressure 2.5–9 kg/cm².
  • Maintenance-Free Operation: No mechanical seals or electrical components reduce downtime and maintenance cost of piston barrel pump.
  • Handles High Viscosity & Temperature: Piston pump works efficiently up to 110 °C and can handle semi-viscous fluids.

Applications of Antlia Piston Type Barrel Pump

  • Chemical & Process Industry: Piston pumps are used for safe and efficient transfer of corrosive acids, solvents, and caustic liquids from drums to reactors or storage tanks without risk of sparking.
  • Pharmaceutical & Biotech: Barrel pumps are ideal for hygienic and contamination-free transfer of solvents, intermediates, and cleaning chemicals in formulation and synthesis areas.
  • Paints, Inks & Coatings: Piston barrel pump can handle viscous paints, resins, and thinners directly from barrels, ensuring smooth and uniform feed into mixing and blending systems.
  • Oil & Lubricants: Air operated piston pumps can facilitate easy and clean transfer of lubricants, greases, and hydraulic oils from 200 L drums to machinery or service tanks.
  • Construction Chemicals & Adhesives: Pneumatic piston pumps can efficiently transfer viscous epoxy resins, waterproofing agents, and silicones for blending, batching, or packaging applications.
