The HVS Drum Unloading Machine (High Viscosity System) is specially designed for handling high-viscosity, paste-like substances that don’t flow easily, such as tomato paste, coconut and tahini oils, fruit and vegetable pulps and resins. Equipped with a Sanitary Air-Operated Diaphragm Pump, this system ensures efficient emptying of barrels, while boasting features such as sandblasted or electropolished surfaces for enhanced sanitation. Adhering to EN 10204 and FDA standards, this system delivers optimal performance and hygiene in both Industrial and Hygienic sectors. With a volume per stroke of 2,300 ml, it can remove up to 99% of the product from the drum, accommodating solids passage of up to 15mm (ball valve) and 42mm (flap valve). Its contact surface roughness is Ra<1.6 as standard, with optional smoother finishes of <0.8 & <0.5 available. Additionally, it holds an ATEX-rating, making it suitable for use in hazardous environments.

The High Viscosity System (HVS) is engineered to simplify the unloading of 200L drums containing high-viscosity, paste-like and non-self-flowing substances. This versatile drum unloading machine is incredibly mobile and can empty a drum, even one filled with double-concentrated tomato paste, in under 2 minutes, showcasing it’s speed and efficiency. Designed for handling high viscosity liquids and hygienic applications, the HVS Drum unloading machine empties substances transported in barrels, such as:
Food and Beverage:
Tomato pastes
Caramels
Fruit and vegetable concentrates
Peanut butter
Mayonnaise
Nougat pastes
Chocolate/Fudge
Glycerine Oils
Cosmetic and Pharmaceuticals:
Cosmetic and Pharma Vaseline’s
Ointments
Creams and Lotions
Semi-solid waxes/paraffin
Glycerine
Oils
Lip glosses
Mascaras
Facial cleansers
Being a piece of pneumatically powered equipment, the actuators within the HVS Drum raise and lower the pump, while the AODD pump works due to two diaphragms connected by a single diagram shaft. It is pushed back and forth by alternately pressurising the air chambers behind the shaft and using an automatically cycled air valve system to alternately pressurise the air chambers behind the diaphragms.

Achieve a flow rate of up to 400 l/min depending on the liquid properties and discharge pressures
Safe, simple and easy to use and maintain
Sealless construction with no rotating parts
Significantly reduce processing times compared to manual emptying
Removes up to 99% of the product from the drum
Suitable for a variety of duties in Industrial and Hygienic installations (FDA, EN 10204 compliant)
Hygienic surfaces with perfect cleanability made from polished steel
Reduce waste and associated costs
Lip Seal or Inflatable Seal options
Optional back-up diaphragm system with rupture detection
Flexible installation options – can even be used for direct container filling from palletised drums
For the longevity and reliability of your pump and system, we recommend having spare parts on hand, and based on the application and the severity of the operation, we offer two different spare part kits:
KIT LIQ: Includes parts on pump wetted side
KIT AIR: Includes parts on the pump air side
HVS Quattro:Â incorporates a Sanitary Air Operated Diaphragm Pump for Hygienic applications
HVS Flexi:Â incorporates a Hygienic Progressive Cavity Pump for Hygienic applications
