Centrifugal Drum Pumps – JP series
Jessberger drum pumps for unloading liquids from standardized containers, such as drums and other tanks, to a depth of 1.8 m. They are perfect for transferring food and industrial media, for low-viscosity, neutral and non-flammable liquids.
They consist of a drive and a suitable pumping tube – depending on the properties of the pumped medium, tubes are available in PP, PVDF, 316L stainless steel or aluminum. Except for ATEX applications, all tubes can be connected to all motors with a knob and without tools. These pumps can be equipped with a rotor or impeller depending on the requirements for pumping capacity and lifting height.
Drum pumps have a very wide range of applications in the food, chemical, cosmetic, electroplating, petrochemical, and machine production industries.

All the motors can be combined with 4 different executions of pump tubes: PP, PVDF, Stainles steel and aluminium. Selection mostly depends on pumped media. Pump tube is attached to motor by mouting flange in very easy way.
Pump tubes with rotor are used when high capacities and low heads are required If larger heads at lower flow rates are required pump tubes with radial impellers are the right choice.
