IBC's ,Intermediate Bulk Containers, (often called totes) are another popular application for FTI drum pumps. Designed to hold five or six drums of product in a single container, IBC's are a popular choice for higher volume users of various chemicals. They are typically square plastic containers in an external wire rack. A 48" long FTI drum pump can be used in the standard five drum tote while the larger six drum "super tote" requires a 54" or 60" long pump tube depending upon the pump series and required performance.
In addition, the longer lengths are used directly in a variety of storage or process tanks like a plating tank for example.
So remember, if you see drums, buckets or IBC's, recommend a Finish Thompson "drum" pump!
