Description

Pneumatic Oil Pump 3:1 Ratio – Double-Action Air Motor Transfer System

Brief Overview

This 3:1 pneumatic piston pump delivers reliable, continuous oil transfer from drums with minimal operator intervention. The differential air motor design ensures steady flow rates while reducing mechanical stress on internal components. For shops managing frequent oil changes or fluid transfers, this pump bridges routine maintenance workflows efficiently. If your operation demands faster transfer speeds, consider pairing this with a higher-ratio transfer pump for applications requiring maximum throughput.

Key Features

  • 3:1 Air-Operated Ratio: Balanced pressure-to-flow conversion for standard oil transfer applications
  • Double-Action Piston Design: Continuous pumping cycle maximizes uptime and minimizes idle periods
  • Differential Air Motor Technology: Distributes pressure evenly across the pump mechanism, extending operational longevity
  • Multi-Fluid Compatibility: Handles motor oil, synthetic oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, and automatic transmission fluid
  • Viscosity Range: Rated for oils up to 150 SAE—covers the full spectrum of automotive and industrial applications
  • Drum-Mount Integration: Supplied with adjustable 2-inch bung adapter for secure mounting on standard 55-gallon drums
  • Simplified Maintenance: Smart design with fewer moving parts reduces wear points and service downtime
  • Long Service Life: Proven durability in high-use environments

Business Advantages for Resellers

Profit Margin Opportunity: Oil pump systems generate consistent repeat orders—shops require regular fluid transfers, creating a reliable revenue stream beyond single-tool sales.

Customer Stickiness: Once installed on a drum system, the pump becomes part of the customer's infrastructure. Resellers become the go-to source for pump servicing, seals, and accessory upgrades.

Cross-Sell Potential: This 3:1 model positions you to upsell complementary products. Customers with multiple fluid types on hand often upgrade to higher-ratio pumps for faster transfer, or add additional 3:1 units for parallel operations.

Low Liability Profile: Pneumatic systems require no electrical wiring—eliminates fire hazard concerns in flammable liquid environments, making sales easier in regulated facilities.

Fleet Maintenance Anchor: Automotive service centers and fleet operators purchase these pumps as core infrastructure; position it as a must-stock item for any shop handling oil disposal or fluid inventory.
