The Dymax® ram pump system uses a pump to transfer medium to high-viscosity fluids from a pail to the dispensing valve. The ram pump system is designed to dispense from a 5-gallon (20 L) pail and is available in two models to accommodate both straight and tapered pails. The system is designed with a plating that wipes the sides of the pail as the material level lowers. This wiping action minimizes leftover material and reduces waste.
