Drum Unloading

Our range of Drum Unloading Systems are designed for high-viscosity, paste-like, non-self-flowing media in Industrial & Hygienic applications requiring the emptying of drums, with a product removal rate of up to 99% & reduced risk of contamination owing to the sealing section between the piston and drum, ensuring optimal process efficiency.

What is a Drum Unloading System?

Drum Unloading Systems are used across both industrial and hygienic applications, offering a complete range of processing and cleaning capabilities. These systems are used to empty all media that cannot be handled by a drum pump and are ideal for pushing high-viscosity, paste-like, non-self-flowing media out of device drums in a line while maintaining efficiency and process safety.

Advantages of Drum Unloading Systems

All Tapflo Drum Unloading Systems ensure immediate and precise preparation of a less concentrated solution of SLES. Some key benefits of using Drum Unloading Systems are:

Removes up to 99% of the product
Reduce the risk of airborne contamination by creating a sealed section between the piston and the drum
Removes the need for manual handling
Advanced cleanability thanks to the sealless design Diaphragm Pump
Inflatable seal system can be integrated with multiple drum shapes and sizes
Various piston, control, and frame options ensure advanced configurability to suit almost any application requirement
High-capacity capabilities with lower viscosity products

Common Industries & Applications

Food & Beverage
Cosmetics
Pharmaceutical
Industrial

What are your Fluid & Media Transfer Characteristics?

To choose the appropriate Drum Unloading System for your application, ask yourself the following questions:

What media will be pumped? Consider the chemical composition of the media you will be pumping – is it chemically neutral or corrosive, shear sensitive etc.
What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
Is your environment or fluid explosive?
Do you require CIP/SIP?
Do you require self-priming capabilities?

Materials Available

Stainless Steel AISI 304/316: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for prolonged and efficient use

Some of our materials offer an ATEX option on request for explosive applications and environments.

Maintenance Required to Keep your Drum Unloading System Running

Conduct routine visual inspections of the pump’s components
Check and tighten the pump’s main nuts and bolts to the specified torque settings
Monitor and clean/replace the air filter regularly
Keep the air exhaust muffler clear of any obstructions
Inspect diaphragms for signs of wear
Check valve balls and seats for wear or damage and replace any worn/broken components
Regularly inspect suction and discharge pipework for blockages or leaks
Routinely monitor suction and discharge pressure gauges to ensure the system pressure remains within the working parameters of the pump
Consider maintenance intervals

Depending on the size of your pump and the fluid you are pumping, a more detailed maintenance schedule may be required.

Additional Factors to Consider

Will your pump be stationary, or do you need it to be portable? If you require portability, Drum Unloading Systems can be fitted to trolleys of any size to suit your needs.
