Pneumatic Oil Pumps

Pneumatic oil pumps

Reliable oil transfer without compromise

Transferring lubricants in industrial environments can be challenging. Gravity-fed methods often lack consistency, while manual pumping is slow, labour-intensive, and prone to contamination. That’s where Lubretec’s pneumatic oil pumps make a difference. Driven by compressed air, they provide a powerful, clean, and efficient solution for transferring oils and lubricants across a wide range of applications.

Why choose pneumatic pumps?

Unlike electric pumps, pneumatic pumps operate using compressed air, making them highly suitable for environments where safety, durability, and reliability are essential.


Key benefits include:

  • Safe operation – no risk of sparks in explosive or flammable environments

  • Durable performance – built to withstand heavy industrial use

  • Consistent flow – controlled delivery for accurate oil transfer

  • Versatile applications – suitable for various oils and lubricants

  • Low maintenance – fewer moving parts compared to electric alternatives

Question

“Why would I choose pneumatic over electric pumps?”

The answer depends on your working environment. If you operate in areas where flammable substances, dust, or vapours are present, pneumatic pumps are often the safer choice. Their spark-free operation and robust design reduce risk while still ensuring efficient transfer.

How do pneumatic oil pumps work?

Pneumatic oil pumps use compressed air to create pressure within the system, forcing oil from one container to another. This allows for:

  • High-volume transfer – ideal for large reservoirs or storage tanks

  • Precise delivery – controlled flow rates minimise waste

  • Reduced contamination – sealed systems protect oil purity

Typical applications

Lubretec’s pneumatic pumps are trusted in industries where efficient and safe lubricant handling is crucial:

  • Automotive workshops – quick dispensing of fresh oil

  • Heavy industry – transferring lubricants to large machinery

  • Marine applications – reliable oil transfer even in harsh conditions

  • Power generation – efficient oil movement for turbines and gearboxes

Question

“Is a pneumatic pump really worth the investment?”

Yes. While the upfront cost may be higher than manual solutions, the long-term advantages are significant:

  • Reduced labour time and costs
  • Lower risk of spills and contamination
  • Safer working environment
  • Consistent oil delivery that supports better lubrication practices
