Lutz pumps at Copenhagen Pump: safe handling of liquids from drums, pails, and IBCs

February 11, 2026

When liquids need to be safely transferred from packaging to the process

In many industrial settings, fluid handling doesn’t start in a piping system, but in a drum, a pail, a pallet tank, or an IBC container. In these situations, the need is rarely just for “a pump.” It’s about emptying the container safely, choosing the right materials, avoiding spills, and ensuring that the fluid is handled correctly from the very first liter.

Copenhagen Pump offers a wide selection of Lutz pumps and accessories designed specifically for these types of applications. Copenhagen Pump’s dedicated Lutz page features, among other things, drum and container pumps, battery-powered pumps, flow meters, flow control valves, AOD diaphragm pumps, and stainless steel food-grade pumps.

Today, Lutz operates on a shared platform with Lutz-Jesco, with the Lutz division being particularly well-known for pumps used for draining, pumping, circulating, and mixing liquids from containers and process packaging. The Lutz-Jesco platform also covers dosing, disinfection, measurement and control technology, as well as system solutions.

For Copenhagen Pumps' customers, this means access to practical pumping solutions for both standard and demanding fluids—from food products and cleaning fluids to chemicals, petroleum products, and hazardous substances.

Drum and container pumps for practical industrial fluid handling

Lutz specializes in drum pumps and container pumps. These types of pumps are used to transfer liquids from small containers into process equipment, dosing systems, tanks, mixing vessels, or other containers.

Copenhagen Pump describes Lutz as a specialist in pumping solutions for packaged liquids, including 1,000-liter IBCs, 200-liter drums, 100-liter and 60-liter containers, and smaller pails. The choice of pump solution depends on the packaging, the chemical properties of the liquid, and the industry in which the pump will be used.

This is precisely where the Lutz program comes into play. A pump solution for acids, bases, or solvents should not be selected in the same way as a solution for oil, food ingredients, or low-viscosity cleaning fluids. Materials, seals, motor selection, flow requirements, the work environment, and ATEX requirements can all influence the choice.

PP 41, B200, B2 Vario, and battery-powered Lutz pumps

The Copenhagen Pumps product range includes well-known Lutz solutions such as the PP 41, B200, B2 Vario, B2 Battery, and B3 Battery.

This offers various options depending on the task:

  • The Lutz PP 41 is suitable for chemicals and industrial fluids where plastic materials and chemical resistance are important.
  • The Lutz B200 and B2 Vario are practical solutions for light-duty fluid handling, where flexibility and ease of use are key.
  • The B2 Battery and B3 Battery allow for pumping without a fixed power connection, which is useful in production, warehousing, maintenance tasks, and mobile work areas.

Lutz’s battery-powered series has been developed with a focus on mobility, light weight, long service life, and ergonomics. According to the manufacturer’s materials, the battery-powered pumps can be used with many combinations of fluids and containers, and the B3 Battery has been designed to deliver performance comparable to mains-powered solutions, while still offering users the flexibility of battery operation.

For businesses, this means that pumping operations can be moved closer to the actual work site. The operator is not constrained by cabling in the same way, and fluids can be handled more efficiently in areas where a fixed installation is impractical.

Flow meters and flow rate preselection provide better control

In many applications, simply moving the fluid is not enough. You also need to know how much has been moved.

That is why Lutz flow meters and flow selectors are an important part of the product range. Copenhagen Pump offers both Lutz non-contact flow meters and Lutz flow meters and flow selectors as part of the Lutz product line.

This is important when companies need to fill containers, transfer specific quantities, reduce waste, or ensure more consistent handling from operator to operator.

Volume preselection can be particularly valuable in tasks where the same volume is repeated many times. Instead of manual monitoring, the operator can work in a more controlled manner, reducing the risk of overfilling or incorrect volumes.

Lutz AOD diaphragm pumps for heavy-duty transfer applications

Copenhagen Pump also offers Lutz AOD double-acting diaphragm pumps.

AOD pumps—air-operated diaphragm pumps—are suitable for many industrial environments because they can handle a variety of fluids, often with high reliability and without an electric motor directly on the pump. They are typically used where compressed air is already available or where the fluid requires robust pump technology.

For example, Copenhagen Pumps' inventory list shows a Lutz Air-Operated Diaphragm Pump DMP 1/2" Pure in stainless steel/PTFE for food applications with a flow range of 10–50 l/min.

This makes AOD solutions ideal for food production, the chemical industry, manufacturing, and service applications where flexible fluid transfer is required.

Food pumps for hygienic environments

For the food industry, Copenhagen Pump offers, among other things Lutz food-grade pumps Niro 41 Pure.

Food production places special demands on fluid handling. The pump must not only move the product; it must also meet hygiene requirements, cleaning procedures, material specifications, and product contact standards.

Copenhagen Pumps’ own Lutz product description notes that Lutz is also available as a modified drum and tank pump for the food industry under the name “Pure, developed for applications that meet food safety standards.

This makes Lutz a good fit for companies that handle liquid food ingredients, additives, cleaning fluids, or other media where standard industrial materials are not sufficient.

Emission-free and safe handling of hazardous liquids

A key advantage of the extensive Lutz product range is the ability to select solutions that match the fluid’s risk profile.

The Lutz page on the Copenhagen Pumps website highlights, among other things, a custom solution for the emission-free pumping of hazardous chemicals into laboratory cabinets.

This highlights an important issue: safety. When handling hazardous, volatile, or aggressive liquids, spills, vapors, and the wrong choice of materials can quickly become a workplace safety hazard. In such cases, the pump must be selected based on the fluid, the packaging, the user’s workflow, and the specific installation.

Lutz solutions can therefore be useful in laboratories, production facilities, chemical storage rooms, technical facilities, and service areas where liquids must be handled in a clean and controlled manner.

The Benefits of Lutz at Copenhagen Pump

The Lutz program is well-suited for companies that need flexible and reliable solutions for packaged liquids.

The main advantages are:

  • Wide range of applications, including drums, barrels, drums, and IBC containers
  • Flexible pumping solutions for both stationary and mobile use
  • Material selection based on the medium, including plastic, stainless steel, and food-grade solutions
  • Option for flow measurement and volume preselection for more controlled handling
  • Battery-powered solutions for areas without a convenient power source
  • AOD diaphragm pumps for heavy-duty industrial transfer applications
  • Custom solutions for hazardous liquids where safety and emission control are critical

The right pump isn't necessarily the biggest one. In many cases, the best solution is the one that's perfectly suited to the fluid, the container, the operator, and the process.

Practical Pump Solutions for Everyday Industrial Use

The Lutz pumps at Copenhagen Pump address a common challenge found in nearly all industrial settings: transferring liquids from packaging to the production process in a safe, simple, and controlled manner.

This applies to food production, the chemical industry, laboratories, workshops, utilities, service, warehousing, and general industry. Some tasks require mobility. Others require chemical resistance, flow measurement, hygienic design, or the ability to precisely control volume.

With the Lutz program, Copenhagen Pump can help you design a solution that is tailored to both the fluid and the application.
