Operating Principle

  • Once the system is positioned, pallets with drums can be easily supplied using a forklift truck or manual pallet truck.
  • The next step is lowering the pump to the top of the drum that is to be unloaded. Once the pump is in place, it is started by pressing the START button on the panel.

 

  • In automatic mode, the pump will automatically lower and unload the drum until it reaches the bottom, then it will stop lowering and pumping.
  • Lastly, the unloading of the drum involves removing the lid from an empty drum.

 

Drums & Containers

Drum Type Details
Straight Drums: The 200-litre straight steel drum stands out as the most common and available choice. For efficient handling
Conical Drums: These containers offer exceptional space-saving capabilities by nesting together when empty. This design not only optimises storage efficiency but also ensures a clutter-free workspace.
Drum solutions tailored to your needs: Our High Viscosity System (HVS) is expertly adaptable, the system is specifically designed for drum unloading systems handling viscous liquids.
IBC, Goodpack, and Bag-in-Box® Options: Our HVS systems can also be configured to unload IBC containers, Goodpack multimodal containers, or Bag-in-Box® containers.
