Action Pump 3004 Ryton Rotary Drum Pump, 8 GPM, Hand-Operated, Chemical Resistance, 304 SS

The Action Pump 3004 is a hand-operated rotary drum pump designed for effective dispensing of various chemicals. Constructed with a robust Ryton (PPS, polyphenylene sulfide) body, this pump excels in high-temperature environments while exhibiting outstanding resistance to chemicals and flames. The incorporation of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seals enhances its capability to withstand a wide range of chemicals. Notably, this pump can transfer liquids at a commendable flow rate of 6 gallons per minute (GPM) at 135 revolutions per minute (RPM), making it a reliable choice for industrial and commercial applications.

The pump features a 1′ National Pipe Taper (NPT) suction port and a 3/4′ Unified Fine (UNF) discharge port. It comes equipped with a 40-inch 304 stainless steel suction tube assembly, a 1-1/2′ to 2′ bung adapter, and a curved discharge spout for precise dispensing. This makes the Action Pump 3004 suitable for use with 15, 30, and 55-gallon drums, ensuring versatility for various applications.

Pumps operate based on mechanical action, which can be categorized into two main types: positive displacement (PD) and kinetic pumps. PD pumps function by capturing and releasing distinct amounts of flow into a chamber before forcing it out, which is common in applications such as automotive fuel and oil systems, as well as hydraulic systems. Conversely, kinetic pumps rely on energy transfer from the pump’s movement to propel liquids, gases, or slurries. These pumps typically utilize an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy, and push it through a volute into the system. Centrifugal pumps are among the most prevalent types of kinetic pumps used in industrial settings.

Energy sources for pumps vary widely, including manual operation, electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, and even wind power. Action Pump, established in 1981 and headquartered in Cary, IL, specializes in producing drum and pail pumps, as well as lubrication products for grease and oil.
