A new modular canister pump tube that improves health and safety in industry and trade

Wertheim, 7 January 2025 – The use of hand pumps in industry and trade comes with certain risks. They can endanger health and safety and lead to cross-contamination between tanks. Seeking to prevent this, Lutz Pumpen has developed a new modular pump tube – one of the few specifically designed for use in canisters. A clip-on battery-powered motor enables users to fit several canisters with a pump tube and switch flexibly between them to pump liquids safely and automatically.

Many companies in industry and trade use hand pumps to transfer liquids from canisters – for example, to pump hydraulic oils for machine maintenance or cleaning agents for systems deployed in the food industry.  

Lutz Pumpen has developed a new modular pump tube – one of the few specifically designed for use in canisters.

A canister pump tube compatible with a wide range of canister sizes and media

 The new pump tubes fit the most common canister sizes. Available in 400 mm, 500 mm, and 700 mm, they are fitted with S60 and S70 threads, widely used in tank technology and for chemicals. With a polyethylene (PE) pump tube and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hoses and fittings, our pump tube is durable and chemically resistant. The shaft is made of stainless steel, which offers high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. The robust design of the pump tubes increases resistance to abrasion and external influences, extends their service life, and ensures reliability in industrial applications. 

 Empty a 200-litre canister 12 times on a single battery charge. 

Once the pump tubes have been inserted into the canisters, users can attach the B2 battery-powered motor from Lutz Pumpen using a quick-release fastener and start pumping immediately. The 260-watt brushless DC motor reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 revolutions per minute and enables a delivery rate of up to 6 liters of liquid with a maximum viscosity of 400 mPas. A single charge of the replaceable battery is enough to empty a 200-litre canister twelve times in around 35 minutes.
