Empty a 200-litre drum 14 times on a single battery charge
Lutz Pumpen has introduced the B3 Battery, a battery-powered drum pump suitable for mobile operation to empty liquids from drums, canisters and IBC containers.
The new B3 Battery pump has various uses, including transferring acids, bases and solvents in the chemical industry, pumping liquids such as syrups, essences and cleaning agents in the food and beverage industry and pumping fertilisers or pesticides in water treatment and agricultural applications.
“In developing the B3 Battery, we have succeeded for the first time in making the performance of a battery-operated drum pump comparable to that of cable-connected versions,” says Andreas Rössler, Head of Sales at Lutz Pumpen GmbH.
The pump is equipped with a brushless 320-watt DC motor offering a flow rate of up to 180l/min and a delivery head of 11.8m of water. A single battery charge is enough to empty a 200l drum 14 times in just under 15 min. At a lower speed, for example, an IBC container with 1,000l can be pumped out 5.8 times in 51 min.
The pump tube is available in different versions to convey as many chemicals as possible for water treatment applications. These include a polypropylene (PP) version for sodium hydroxide and a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) version for chloric acid.
