**Sisdoz Introduces Finish Thompson Drum Pumps**

Finish Thompson Barrel Pumps are used for safe and trouble-free transfer of fluids supplied in containers such as barrels, drums and tanks to another container, and for circulation of chemical substances. The use of barrel pumps in operations enables fluid transfer processes to be carried out much faster compared to pouring or gravity-fed flow, with positive effects on labor and productivity. In addition, it is possible to prevent from the outset potential risks to worker health as well as pollution and corrosion problems that may result from leakage, contamination and dripping in the work environment. Barrel pumps are a set consisting of two parts: a suction tube (pump) and a drive motor; the combination of these two is determined according to the properties of the fluid to be transferred and process requirements. Basically: Pump Options: They are available in 3 basic constructions with PP, PVDF or stainless steel housing and stainless steel and Hastelloy C shaft material options: axial fan (high flow), screw (medium viscosity) and gear (high viscosity). Various alternatives are available including 2850...14000 rpm, single-phase, three-phase, 12V DC, explosion-proof, air-driven, variable-speed, etc.

Advantages:

• Drive motors can be coupled with different pump types, thus pumps with different pressure and flow characteristics can be obtained depending on the application. • They can be used for transfer of highly viscous liquids up to 100,000 cPs. • For transfer of toxic fluids, there is a hermetic seal, magnetic coupling type option against possible gas leakage. • Models with mixers are used for homogeneous mixing and transfer of liquids in emulsion or suspension form (such as paints and lacquers). • Long service life and stable operation characteristics are provided with the seal-free tube option. • Easily portable and simply dismantled. • Rich variety of accessories such as suction filter, flow meter, barrel adapter, suspension and gun, offering solutions for different requirements.

Areas of Use:

• Treatment chemicals. • Acids and alkali substances. • Organic and inorganic solvents. • Oil derivatives. • Fuel derivatives. • Adhesives and glues. • Solvents, paints, polish, varnish. • Alcohols. • Soaps, shampoos and other cosmetic products. • Fruit juice, concentrates, enzymes, food colorants. • And many other liquid chemicals   Kadir Fakioğlu Sales Manager, Industrial Division Sisdoz A.Ş.
