These drum pumps come in many configurations and can be two way drum pumps if need be. Often known as reversible drum pumps and drum vacs they are a low cost method of creating a spill control and fluid recovery system.
- High quality machined aluminium light weight pumps.
- Anodised black and with chrome float valves.

The Spillrite drum pump range starts at 20 cfm for a low air consumption fluid recovery model. The 30 cfm model is designed for rapid spill control. The hi power models are the 40 cfm and (2018) 60 cfm HIGH POWER pump which is designed for sludge, mud and thick oil.
Option 2
For heavy oil that needs more power try the DTV120HP

Drum Top Vac – 120 CFM alloy – Fluid High Power. $3,995 including GST.
The Drum Top Vac turns a standard steel drum into a high powered oil transfer and fluid recovery vacuum. The Fluid High Power model is built for heavy liquids: special high-vacuum venturis in the alloy power head deliver 100–120 CFM of ultra high suction, enough to pull thick oil, sludge and coolant through the hose as well as water and a wide range of wet and dry industrial waste.
It runs on compressed air, so there is no electric motor, no cord and no moving parts to wear out or create a spark. The alloy head and yellow alloy silencer shroud keep it light at 14 kg, with plastic internal components. It is supplied with either plastic or metal camlock fittings. Float valves shut the vacuum off automatically when the drum is full.
This unit is vacuum only, with no reverse capability. The Drum Top Vac range also includes reversible two-way models that pump the drum back out, and explosion-proof ATEX versions for hazardous areas — ask us if you need either.
