Description

Pneumatic Oil Pump, 5:1 Ratio – Double-Action Air-Operated

Brief Overview

This pneumatic oil pump delivers reliable, high-ratio fluid transfer for busy shop floors. The 5:1 ratio accelerates pumping cycles, making it ideal for shops that demand speed without compromising on durability. If you're working with standard pressure requirements, this pump bridges the gap between economy models and heavy-duty 50:1 variants. For operations requiring lower-pressure applications, consider pairing this with a lower-ratio air motor pump to optimize fluid handling across different viscosity grades.

Key Features

  • Clamping mechanism – Secure, vibration-resistant mounting directly to drums or tanks
  • Double-action differential air motor – Consistent pumping performance at moderate air pressure
  • Reduced component design – Fewer internal parts mean less wear, longer intervals between maintenance
  • Brass suction tube with integrated strainer – Prevents particulate contamination and ensures clean fluid flow
  • Adjustable 2-inch bung adapter – Universal compatibility with standard drum openings
  • Wide fluid compatibility – Handles motor oil, synthetic oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, and automatic transmission fluid up to 240 SAE viscosity

Why This Pump Matters for Your Shop

Speed and Efficiency:
The 5:1 ratio is the sweet spot for high-volume oil transfer. You're moving fluid faster than 1:1 or 3:1 pumps without the air consumption demands of 50:1 models. This translates to reduced shop floor downtime and faster job turnarounds.

Lower Operating Costs:
Double-action design and differential air motor require moderate air pressure. Your existing compressor likely handles it without upgrade investment. Fewer internal parts also reduce maintenance labor and spare parts inventory.

Durability Built In:
The simplified component structure directly reduces internal friction and wear points. Long service life means reliable performance across hundreds of fluid transfer jobs before rebuild or replacement becomes necessary.

Professional Installation:
The clamping mechanism prevents drift and vibration during operation—critical for messy job sites where stability matters. The adjustable 2-inch adapter fits most standard drums without additional hardware.

Reseller Perspective

This pump occupies critical middle ground in the pneumatic transfer market. Shops that stock only 1:1 or 50:1 variants lose sales to customers with moderate-volume needs and standard pressure setups. The 5:1 fills that gap with strong margins and repeat-purchase potential. Low maintenance requirements mean fewer warranty claims and positive customer retention.

If your customer base needs higher compression ratios for low-pressure systems, the high-ratio 50:1 pump variants complement this range perfectly.

Recommended Use Cases

  • Oil changes and fluid servicing in high-volume shops
  • Transmission fluid transfers
  • Hydraulic system maintenance
  • Gear oil and synthetic oil circulation
  • Drum-to-tank fluid consolidation

Stock this pump in your catalog. It's the reliable workhorse that turns one-time fluid transfer jobs into repeat customers who trust your inventory with their shop's productivity.
