Information about Hand Pumps and Foot Pumps

Hand pumps and foot pumps are manually operated pumps that can driven by hand or foot via a handle or lever. This manual external force actuates an internal mechanism, which increases pressure for moving fluids such as gas, chemicals, or water. Hand lever and foot pedals are pushed up or down to begin the pump cycle, often requiring one stroke to draw the fluid and another stroke to discharge it, as is typical in many displacement pumps.

Products & Services Related to Hand Pumps and Foot Pumps

Booster Pumps

Booster pumps are used in applications where the normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased.

Condensate Pumps

Condensate pumps are used to collect and transport condensate back into a steam system for reheating and reuse, or to remove unwanted condensate from an HVAC or appliance collection pan.

Diaphragm Pumps

Diaphragm pumps use a diaphragm that moves back and forth to transport liquids from one place to another.

Drum Pumps

Drum pumps are used to transfer materials from a container into a process or other container. They may be electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically powered depending on the working environment or application.

Industrial Liquid Handling Pumps

Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).

Metering Pumps

Metering pumps are precision pumps, which dispense an exact amount of material. They are used in a variety of chemical dosing and metering applications.

Screw Pumps

Screw pumps are rotary, positive displacement pumps that have one or more screws to transfer fluids or materials along an axis.
