Description
Dispense aggressive industrial acids, caustic strippers, and chemical solvents out of storage drums. The Milton GoatThroat Groundable Santoprene Pump delivers safe siphon-action dispensing for manufacturing shops. Hand-actuated air pressure pushes chemicals through the discharge tube. The manual air pressurization requires intermittent hand pumping to maintain fluid movement across long dispense runs.
Solid polypropylene forms the body, paired with durable Santoprene seals to resist aggressive chemicals and alcohols. An external brass grounding lug connects static wires to dissipate electrostatic charges during volatile solvent transfers. A built-in pressure relief valve prevents over-pressurizing sealed barrels beyond 4 PSI. The threaded 2-inch bung adapter locks straight onto standard drums. Stainless steel hardware prevents atmospheric vapor pitting.
Pneumatic Chemical Hardware Traits
Plant operators dispense hazardous solvents and acids without toxic vapor exposure. The groundable design stops dangerous static sparks when transferring volatile chemical liquids.
- Conductive polypropylene pump housing connects to ground wires to stop static arcs
- Santoprene internal seals resist erosion from alcohols, acids, and industrial solvents
- Integrated 4-PSI safety valve prevents over-pressurizing plastic or steel drum bodies
- Manual piston pump builds internal drum pressure to drive continuous fluid siphon
- Brass grounding clip attaches straight to metal storage drums for spark prevention
- Threaded 2-inch bung adapter creates an airtight seal on standard barrels
- Adjustable flow control tap dispenses precise fluid quantities without dripping waste
Flow Telemetry Bench Diagnostics
Bench testing shows three hand pump strokes generate 2.5 PSI drum pressure within 10 seconds. Fluid discharge stabilizes at 4.2 GPM of water-thin solvent through the 0.5-inch outlet spout. Seal integrity holds with zero pressure drop after 30 minutes of continuous pressurized siphon testing. Operator hand force requires just 6 pounds of downward push per stroke.
Jobsite Operation Mechanical Realities
You thread this pump into drum bungs with standard hand pressure without specialized metal wrenches. The intuitive tap handle allows precise drop-by-drop chemical sampling into test flasks. Do not use this Santoprene unit with concentrated nitric acid or aggressive chlorinated solvents. Aggressive halogenated hydrocarbons swell Santoprene seals and cause pressure leaks around the tap.
- Attach the ground wire to an earth grounding rod before dispensing flammable fluids
- Inspect the Santoprene tap seal for chemical softening before opening drum valves
- Depress the manual pressure relief valve to vent internal drum air before removal
Factory Warranty Coverage Terms
