A pneumatic device designed for the conveyance of lubricating fluids, hydraulic oils, and similar viscous substances, utilizes compressed air as its power source. These systems find application in environments where electrical power may be hazardous or unavailable, facilitating the movement of fluids from one location to another. For example, a mechanic might use such a pump to transfer used engine oil from a vehicle’s oil pan into a waste container.
The employment of compressed air offers intrinsic safety advantages in flammable environments. The absence of electrical components reduces the risk of sparking and subsequent ignition of volatile materials. These systems are frequently employed in industrial settings for efficient and safe fluid management, contributing to streamlined operations and reduced labor costs. Historically, manual methods were replaced by these pneumatic solutions to improve efficiency and safety in fluid handling.
