The High Viscosity Flexi Drum Unloading System (HVS Flexi) is designed to efficiently and precisely unload containers filled with high-viscosity products up to 100,000 cPs.
Using a Hygienic Progressive Cavity Pump, the system provides smooth, consistent transfer of pastes, creams, and concentrates directly from drums, IBCs, or other containers. Built for low to moderate volume applications, the HVS Flexi is ideal for feeding filling or packing lines. It offers up to 99% product recovery, automation for time savings, and ATEX-certified options for use in hazardous areas.
Up to 99% extraction using follower plate and scraper lid, reducing waste and maximising yield
Capable of handling liquids with viscosities up to 100,000 cPs
Flow rates up to 100 l/min, depending on product viscosity and discharge pressure
Progressive cavity pump ensures gentle, continuous flow without pulsing, ideal for sensitive products
Perfect for supplying filling and packing lines directly
Hygienic design with FDA-compliant materials; ATEX-certified versions available
Automated operation frees operators to focus on preparing the next container
Options such as dry-running protection or batching mode ensure a ccurate process control
Ensuring flexibility with customised drum solutions
Straight-Sided Drums:
The most common 200L steel drums, delivered individually or palletised
Conical Drums:
Nestable and space-saving; compatible with inflatable scraper seal
Tailored Drum Solutions:
Custom lids and seals available for challenging drum geometries or damaged drums
IBC, Goodpack & Bag-in-Box®:
Flexi can be configured for multimodal containers and aseptic bag-in-box liners, ensuring adaptability across storage and transport systems
The system, mounted on a mobile 4-wheel frame, is moved into place. Drums or IBCs are positioned via forklift or pallet truck
The progressive cavity pump with scraper lid is lowered into the drum
Pressing START begins the process. In automatic mode, the pump lowers and unloads until the drum is empty, then stops. Manual control is also available
The follower plate is released with compressed air, making removal quick and clean
For unloading drums, IBCs, and other containers filled with viscous products (up to 100,000 cPs) in low to moderate volume applications.
