Action Pump 5500 Lever Stainless Steel High Viscosity Pump for 15, 30, 55 Gallon Drums

The Action Pump 5500 is a high-performance, hand-operated lever action pump designed specifically for dispensing a variety of viscous liquids. Constructed with a robust stainless steel body and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) components, this pump is built to withstand harsh chemicals and resist corrosion, making it an essential tool for industrial and commercial applications.

This versatile piston drum pump is suitable for use with an extensive range of liquids, including detergents, most acids, oils, waxes, alkalis, water, and soaps. With a flow rate of 14 ounces per stroke and a maximum capacity of 5 gallons per minute (gpm), the Action Pump 5500 efficiently handles fluids with a viscosity of up to 650 centipoise (cps).

The Action Pump 5500 is equipped with a 33-inch suction tube and a 2-inch bung adapter, allowing you to easily dispense liquids from standard drum sizes. The mechanical action of this pump efficiently moves liquids, gases, or slurries, categorizing it as a positive displacement (PD) pump.

Positive displacement pumps, like the Action Pump, capture and release discrete amounts of fluid, ensuring a consistent flow rate. This makes them suitable for a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial lubrication. In contrast, kinetic pumps utilize an impeller to transfer energy and move liquids, commonly found in applications requiring centrifugal force.

Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Cary, IL, Action Pump specializes in manufacturing high-quality drum and pail pumps, as well as grease, oil, and lubrication products. The company has a strong reputation for delivering reliable and effective pumping solutions tailored to meet the demands of various industries.

In summary, the Action Pump 5500 is a reliable, efficient, and durable solution for handling viscous liquids in 15, 30, and 55-gallon drums. Its hand-operated lever action and high-quality materials make it a top choice for professionals seeking a dependable pumping solution.
