What is the Reversible Drum Storm?
The Drum Storm is a maintenance free system used to suck up Liquid Spills, waste water, tramp oil, coolant, sludge, chips, hydraulic oil, and other liquids all powered by just compressed air.
How exactly does the Drum Storm work?
STREAMTEK™ reversible Drum Storm easily attaches to any closed head drum (30/50 US Gallon, 205 Litre, or 45 Imperial gallon drum). Turn the knob on the Drum Storm counter clockwise and the high powered vacuum fills the drum in less than 2 minutes! When ready to transfer the contaminated liquids to filtration tank(s), turn the knob clockwise and the exact same two-way action stainless steel pump will then empty the drum in just 2 minutes! If flow rate is a concern, it can be controlled by a regulator, shutoff valve, or by the knob itself.
Why the reversible Drum Storm?
Tired of purchasing electrically powered vacs only to have them wear out a short time after you buy them? The Drum Storm has no motor to wear out or freeze up, no impellers to clog, and no moving parts to wear out.
To ensure safety, a built in automatic safety feature prevents spills or overfilling.
NOTE: The Reversible Drum Storm system must be used on a drum with a nominal wall thickness of at least 1.5mm (16 gauge) and of course in good condition.

1. Can a purchase a Reversible Drum Storm with an extended hose?
Yes. Our standard hoses are available in 10' and 20' lengths. Custom lengths of PVC hose are also available by special order. Since the Drum Storm is designed for use with a 10' hose, longer hose lengths will affect performance depending on the application. 2. Why can't I use the Drum Storm on material with a low flash point?
The Drum Storm unit has the potential to produce a static charge which can spawn from the media being transported. 3. What viscosity of fluid can the Drum Storm move?
The Reversible Drum Storm can move anything from water right up to motor oil. Below are pumping rates of various viscosity's of fluids with an 80 PSIG inlet pressure.
- Water ~40 gallons per minute
- Hydraulic Oil ~11 gallons per minute
- 15W40 Motor Oil ~7 gallons per minute
4. What's the vertical lift the Drum Storm can produce?
Approximately 9-1/2 feet @ 80 PSIG inlet pressure. 5. Can the drum become over pressurized?
No. The risk of over-pressurization is eliminated by a relief valve build into the Drum Storm unit. 6. Does the Reversible Drum Storm require regular maintenance?
The Drum Storm is constructed of type 303 stainless steel and has no moving parts inside except for the adjusting knob. To clean, simply immerse the entire unit in a solvent cleaner or mild degreaser. APPLICATIONS |
