High Viscosity Quattro Drum Unloading System

Up to 99% product removal at 400L per minute.

Our HVS Quattro Drum Unloading System is purpose-built for the high-volume unloading of highly viscous liquids. Designed to work with multiple drums (typically four on a pallet), the Quattro combines speed, automation, and efficiency, unloading up to 400 l/min with a product recovery rate of up to 99%, while handling viscosities up to 100,000cP. At the heart of the system is a Sanitary Double Diaphragm Pump with integrated lifting and lowering functions, mounted on a mobile articulated arm for smooth drum-to-drum transfer. The HVS Quattro System is ideal for industries that require consistent high throughput, hygienic operation, and minimal product loss.
