Fill off liquids – but do it safelySafety is the top priorityDangerous liquids must never be filled off by directly pouring themout. Even the use of a funnel does not provide the required degreeof safety when bottling dangerous liquids.Increased accident risk by slipping on dirty floors.Skin diseases or poisoning by spilt chemicals.Health hazard from harmful vapours.Safety during bottling must be the number one priority – for yourown personal protection!This means that purchasing a suitable pump for filling off hazardousliquids is an investment in the safety and health of your employeeswhich pays for itself in a very short time.Choosing the right pumpApart from the size and type of the container, the required pump capacityand the suitability of the pump for the particular medium areimportant considerations for choosing the right pump. The pumpdoes not only have to be resistant to the medium to be bottled, butspecific occupational safety and environmental protection regulationsmust also be considered.Pump capacityElectric pumps are the first choice for filling off large quantities at afixed location. Their higher pumping capacity saves times and requiresless manual effort. However, the purchase of an expensiveelectric barrel pump does not always pay for itself; there is often noon-site mains supply, e.g. in the open air, during assembly or in theequipment storage facility. Manual pumps are an interesting alternativeto electric pumps for filling off small quantities due to theirindependence from a power supply and because they mean valuefor money. Bürkle offers a wide range of pumping devices for manuallyremoving liquids from containers, canisters, drums and tanks.Container size and container typePumps that work according to the excess pressure principle are suitablefor filling off the required quantities from canisters and smalldrums up to a capacity of approx. 60 litres. Air is pumped into thecontainer using a pumping ball or pumping piston. This creates excesspressure in the container and the liquid is transported out viathe immersion tube.Barrel pumps are suitable for larger barrels and open containers.They draw in the liquid and then eject it. This family of pumps ischaracterised by their robust construction with a good pumping capacityand simple handling.
