  Air-operated drum pump

  Posted by cheesy whisky on September 21, 2024 at 2:32 pm

  Does anyone have a compressed air drum pump for sale or one they can recommend I can just buy from a vendor? Lots of expensive ones out there, I thought I could find one for a couple or 300 bucks.

  I typically recommend using  a piece of stainless steel pipe with a tri-clamp on one end to go down into the drum. Also works with any kind of self-priming pump.Gets most of it out, then you can tilt the drum to get the rest.

  You might be looking for a FloJet pump:

  We use the G70 air diaphragm pump for transferring high proof spirits around and also use it attached to a stainless racking cane and used to pull finished spirits out of tanks headed for bottling. Works like a champ. We even built this portable stand that simply requires the air hose to be attached and she’s ready to pump!

  We have a much better price on our g70 pumps.  https://shop.distillery-equipment.com/products/5-gpm-explosion-proof-beverage-alcohol-pump-for-high-proof-spirits-flojet-g70c?_pos=1&_sid=b4034ad58&_ss=r  The g57 pumps are not safe for pumping high proof as they do not have a grounding terminal.

  If you have any distillery equipment needs including pumps call 417-270-0930 or 417-778-6100 or email paul@distillery-equipment.com

  I’m with Paul on this one. I couldn’t find a better price on a G70 anywhere, not even with the manufacturer.
