Finish Thompson EFP-40 KIT EF Polypropylene Drum Pump and Motor Kit 40 Inch
Finish Thompson supplies the EFP-40 KIT as a EF drum and container pump with a 40 inch tube in Polypropylene. It is supplied as a complete kit, the pump tube together with its matched motor, ready to put to work. The kit pairs a 40 inch polypropylene EF pump tube with its matched motor, so there is nothing to specify separately and no risk of a coupling or power mismatch.
The point of a pump like this is that nobody has to lift a drum. These are sealless tube pumps, so there is no shaft seal to weep down the outside of the drum, and the bearings are lubricated by the fluid itself. Flushing after use is the single most useful habit, because a pump left full of product is a pump that seizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the pump be left standing in the drum between uses?
Only if the wetted materials suit the fluid for long contact. Otherwise it should be flushed and drained, since standing exposure is harder on a pump than pumping is.
Q: What happens if the pump is run dry?
The bearings are lubricated by the fluid being pumped, so dry running wears them quickly and can seize the shaft.
Q: Does the pump need a bung adapter?
It does if the container is to hold the pump upright, and the adapter also limits fumes escaping around the tube.
Q: How should the pump be flushed?
With a fluid compatible with both the product and the pump materials, run long enough to clear the full length of the tube.
