The NX range of Drum pumps are the most versatile hand pumps available. The patented pumps have been used for the widest range of applications by ScopeNEXT customers across the globe. In this blog we look at the benefits of using our NX Drum Pumps and compare them to other pump types.
What are NX Drum Pumps?
NX drum pumps are a displacement pump that are used to transfer fluids from one container to another. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and food and beverage production.
NX drum pumps work by using a piston or plunger to move fluid through a chamber. The piston or plunger is connected to a crankshaft, which is turned by a motor. As the crankshaft turns, the piston or plunger moves up and down, creating a vacuum in the chamber. This vacuum draws fluid into the chamber from the inlet port. The piston or plunger then moves up, forcing the fluid out of the chamber through the outlet port.
NX drum pumps are available in a variety of sizes and capacities. They can be used to pump a variety of fluids, including water, chemicals, and food products.
What are the benefits of using NX drum pumps?
If you need to transfer fluids from one container to another, an NX drum pump is a good option to consider. They are efficient, versatile, durable, and easy to maintain.
Anti-drip Nozzle Feature:
Alleviates the problems of drips by simply rotating the nozzle upwards thus closing the product-flow pathway.
Continuous Dispensing Action:
The design of the NX Drum Pump helps reduce the time it takes to dispense product from the drum easily and efficiently , pumping on both “up” and “down” strokes.
Excellent Chemical Resistance:
Manufactured 100% from food-grade polypropylene components and is suitable for a wide range of chemicals including oils, resins, acids, alkalis, chlorine-based, etc.
Particulates / High Viscosity:
The design of the NX pump allows particles to be pumped without blocking, and can pump high viscosity liquids, including eg.molasses.
2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty:
Our confidence in the product is such that we offer a full 2 Year Warranty.
What industries use NX drum pumps?
- Manufacturing: NX drum pumps are used to transfer fluids between tanks, machines, and other equipment.
- Chemical processing: NX drum pumps are used to transfer fluids from reactors, distillation columns, and other equipment.
- Food and beverage production: NX drum pumps are used to transfer fluids between tanks, processing equipment, and packaging machines.
- Agriculture & Dairy: NX drum pumps are used to transfer fluids and cleaning chemicals from storage tanks to irrigation systems and sprayers.
- Construction: NX drum pumps are used to transfer fluids from trucks and trailers to construction sites.
NX Drum Pumps vs other pump types
Lever drum pump
NX Drum Pumps are more efficient, durable, and easier to use than lever pumps Lever pumps also have higher friction effects creating more effort to operate/use.
Rotary drum pump
NX drum pumps and rotary pumps are very similar in terms of their operation, However Rotary pumps don’t have as high output for effort.
Syphon drum pump
Syphon pumps are simple and inexpensive, but they are not as efficient or durable as NX drum pumps. They can also be difficult to control measurable output and difficult to set up, especially if the containers are not at the same height.
Piston drum pump
Piston pumps require more force to move the piston or plunger. The piston or plunger in a piston pump is connected to a crankshaft, which requires more force to turn than the camshaft in a drum pump.
The NX Drum Pumps are a great choice for businesses and individuals who need a reliable and efficient way to transfer fluids. If you are looking for a drum pump, the NX range is the best option available. Contact our team at ScopeNEXT to find out more about our NX Drum Pump range.
