This ensures that no matter the task at hand, the pump can be utilized effectively.

Pumps operate using mechanical action to transfer liquids, gases, or slurries. The Action Pump 6008 utilizes positive displacement (PD) technology, capturing and releasing precise amounts of fluid into a chamber and forcing it out efficiently. This function is similar to fuel and oil pumps found in vehicles, hydraulic systems, or even bicycle pumps.

In contrast, kinetic pumps utilize energy transfer from the pump’s movement to the flow, drawing liquids in with an impeller and propelling them through a volute system. While both types serve specific purposes, the Action Pump focuses on the reliability and efficiency of positive displacement.

Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Cary, IL, Action Pump specializes in manufacturing high-quality drum and pail pumps, as well as lubrication products for a variety of applications. Their commitment to durability and performance has made them a trusted name in the industry.
