For transferring low-viscosity oils such as kerosene, light oil, and biodiesel! Electric handheld pump.

**EMH Series** EMH-20FC (for oil, kerosene, diesel, biodiesel / pump only) EMH-20SUS (for oil, kerosene, diesel, biodiesel, solvents / pump only) EMHH-20FC (for oil, kerosene, diesel / both ends with hose) **Advantages** ● Continuous operation possible ● Can transfer kerosene and diesel without selecting containers ● Ideal for transferring biodiesel oil ● Low vibration and low noise **Features** ● Dedicated to JIS standard 200L closed drums (large cap G2) ● Equipped with a relief valve (0.1MPa), vane pump ● Various customizations available for drum cans and hose connections *Note: The SUS type cannot be used with water or solvents.* **Mechanism of EMH Pump** The center of the pump body is slightly offset from the center of the impeller, creating a structure where the movable vanes extend due to centrifugal force. It adopts a principle of operation that increases pressure by reducing volume with the vanes. Additionally, the EMH series uses Teflon and fluorine for the packing, allowing for the transfer of biodiesel.
