Drum emptying systems (VISCOFLUX)

For pumping highly viscous media from drums with lids

VISCOFLUX drum emptying systems were specially developed for emptying lidded drums with high-viscosity contents. The medium is continuously and particularly careful extracted with FLUX eccentric worm-drive pumps. All systems achieve an almost complete emptying of the drum with < 1 % residual amount (under 2 % for drums with inliners).

The unique VISCOFLUX drum emptying system is used by various industries for fast, cost-effective conveying of highly viscous, pasty and non-free flowing media. It guarantees virtually complete and gentle emptying from standard drums with lids.

Media-examples:

• Vaseline (including from drums with inliners)
• Cosmetic products such as creams, mascara
• Lanolin and wool wax
• Structural adhesives
• Resins
• Peanut paste
• Greases up to grease class 3 and coating compounds
• PVC printing/insulation dye, liquid PVC
• UV, hydro and wood filling compound
• Paints and silicones
• Sealing paste for sealing with hemp
• Materials, which gasify or react with oxygen

Benefits:

• Low initial purchase costs compared to stationary systems
• High flexibility due to mobility of the system
• Low disposal costs due to small residual quantity in the drum
• Process safety even if the pumping process is interrupted during emptying due to hermetic sealing off the material
• Fast cleaning thanks to dismantling with a few hand movements
• User-friendly handling due to easy operation of the control unit and integrated transport device
• Customised performance due to individually selectable three-phase or compressed-air motor in conjunction with a suitable eccentric worm-drive pump
• Easy system extension due to extensive range of accessories (flow meters, hoses, fittings and valves, etc.)
• Compliant with FDA CFR 21
