Pumps like the Action Pump THP-ST utilize mechanical action to effectively move liquids, gases, or slurries. They can be categorized into two main types: positive displacement (PD) pumps and kinetic pumps. PD pumps operate by capturing and releasing discrete amounts of flow into a chamber before forcing it out. This method is commonly used in applications like fuel and oil pumps in vehicles, hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps.

On the other hand, kinetic pumps move substances by transferring energy from the pump’s movement to the flow. Typically, they use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy, and guide it through a volute into the desired system. Common examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal pumps, in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps.

Energy sources for these pumps vary, including manual operation, electricity, wind power, and gasoline or diesel fuel. Action Pump, founded in 1981 and based in Cary, IL, specializes in the manufacturing of drum and pail pumps, along with grease, oil, and lubrication products.

In summary, the Action Pump THP-ST piston drum pump is an essential tool for safely and efficiently dispensing aggressive chemicals. Its stainless steel construction, impressive flow rate, and compatibility with various drum sizes make it a reliable choice for professionals in need of a durable and effective pumping solution.
