Vissers Sales Corp. supplies chemical drum pumps, tote pumps, and chemical-resistant barrel pumps across Canada and the USA, designed for safe and reliable chemical transfer from drums, barrels, and IBC totes. Our products support corrosive, high-volume, and industrial liquid-handling applications.

Whether you’re handling acids, solvents, diesel exhaust fluids, or industrial chemicals, our pumps ensure maximum safety, durability, and operational efficiency.

What Are Chemical Drum Pumps?

A chemical drum pump is a specialized pump designed to safely transfer liquids from 55-gallon drums, barrels, and IBC totes. These pumps are used in industrial applications including chemical processing, wastewater treatment, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Key Benefits:

  • Safe handling of corrosive liquids
  • High chemical compatibility with polypropylene, PVDF, or stainless steel
  • Efficient liquid transfer from drums and totes

How Drum Pumps and Tote Pumps Work

Chemical drum and tote pumps work by drawing liquid from drums, barrels, or totes and delivering it through a discharge tube or hose. Tote pumps are ideal for high-volume transfer, while drum pumps are perfect for standard 55-gallon containers.

Step-by-step operation:

  1. Insert pump into drum or tote
  2. Motor drives the impeller or rotor
  3. Liquid flows through the pump tube
  4. Dispense safely through the discharge hose
  5. Control flow rate to minimize spills
