Action Pump 600 MLP 600 GPH Manual Lift Pump

This Action Pump 600 MLP manual lift pump is a hand-operated diaphragm pump suitable for transfer of liquids without suspended solids. It is constructed of Delrin (POM, polyoxymethylene) plastic for high stiffness and low friction, with a buna-n diaphragm for resistance to oils and solvents. This pump is capable of transferring up to 600 gallons of fluid per hour (gph) with temperatures up to 140 degrees F and a maximum lift of 12'. It has smooth 1" inlet and outlet hose connections, and ships fully assembled. This lever-action diaphragm drum pump is suitable for clean liquid transfer operations in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

*L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.

Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.

Action Pump manufactures drum and pail pumps and grease, oil, and lubrication products. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Cary, IL.
