Our system is conveniently mounted on a mobile 4-wheel frame, allowing easy transportation to the drum storage area. Once positioned, pallets can be effortlessly delivered using a forklift truck or manual pallet truck. Thanks to our system's sturdy support structure, precise pallet placement is easy, enabling a swift start to the process.

The next step involves utilizing the articulated arm, equipped with the pump, to securely position the scrapping lid on the top of the drum to be unloaded first. After the pump is properly situated, it can be initiated by simply pressing the START button on the control panel. The pump will automatically descend until it reaches the bottom of the drum, at which point it will halt. Alternatively, it can be manually controlled by the operator when opting for manual operation mode.

The final phase of unloading the drum entails removing the lid from an empty drum. To facilitate this task with speed and efficiency, the system provides compressed air between the lid and the drum.

In today's industry, the use of containers like drums and IBCs has become exceptionally commonplace. These versatile vessels are very often used to transporting highly viscous liquids such as pulps or concentrates, which are always stored in drums lined with as aseptic bag.

Straight Drums: Among these container options, the 200-liter straight steel drum takes center stage as the most common and available one. Usually you have the flexibility to use an individual drum delivery, arranged on a compact pallet, or you can choose the convenience of 4 drums positioned on a single pallet.

Conical Drums: In specific industries, conical drums become more and more common, thanks to their space-saving capabilities by nesting together when they're empty, making them a practical choice for a variety of applications, particularly in high-volume production scenarios.

Customized Drum Solutions: Regardless of the type of drum you use, our High Viscosity System (HVS) can be easily adapted to meet your needs. Our HVS is purpose-built for drum unloading systems that handle viscous liquids. It includes a specialized scraping lid (follower plate) designed to extract every last drop of product from the drum and bag. For straight drums, we offer a lid equipped with a versatile lip seal, ensuring thorough scraping while effortlessly adjusting to any changes in the drum's shape, including wall damage, all while providing a cost-effective solution.

When it comes to conical drums, our solution is an inflatable seal integrated with our pneumatic control system. This seal adjusts its size, providing high scraping efficiency as it reaches the lower regions of the drum.

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. This versatility ensures you have a flexible solution at your disposal for a wide range of transport and storage needs. Get in touch with us, and we'll be more than happy to provide a tailored solution that perfectly aligns with your specific requirements.

Our HVS Quattro system is operated through an integrated control panel, providing a user-friendly interface. Within the control system, operators can easily switch between automatic and manual modes. The panel offers convenient pushbuttons for precise pump positioning (RAISE or LOWER) and pump control (START or STOP). Additionally, it enables control of the pumping speed. Each control panel is equipped with the main system switch (ON/OFF) and a safety pushbutton (E-STOP) for added security and peace of mind.

We produce our control panels in-house, giving you the freedom to tailor each Drum Unloading System to your precise requirements. Our specialized team of automation engineers is keen to adjust the controls to align with your processes, all upon your request.

This flexibility enables the HVS Quattro System to be integrated with other equipment in your production line, such as filling machines. Our engineers collaborate closely with you to ensure seamless integration of the HVS into your overall production workflow.

Our system is mounted on a highly mobile 4-wheel frame, which ensure easy transportation to the desired location where your drums are stored. Once the system is in position, you can supply pallets with drums using a forklift truck or a manual pallet truck. Thanks to our system's support structure, pallet placement is a breeze, allowing for an immediate start of the unloading process without the need for precise positioning.

The next step is lowering the pump to the top of the drum that requires unloading. Once the pump is properly positioned, simply press the START button on the control panel. In automatic mode, the pump will autonomously lower and unload the drum until it reaches the bottom, at which point it will stop lowering and pumping. Alternatively, the operator can take manual control by selecting the manual operation mode.

Completing the drum unloading process is as straightforward as removing the lid from an emptied drum. To expedite this step, our system facilitates lid removal by supplying compressed air between the lid and the drum, making it both quick and hassle-free.

The efficiency variation in a discharge line with and without a pulsation dampener.

Tapflo DPT pulsation dampeners change a pulsating flow into a more linear one. The dampener installed at the pump outlet (light blue) decreases the flow pulsation, compared to one without it (dark blue).

Proven pulsation reduction up to 80%. The use of a pulsation dampener is the most effective way to improve the performance of your system by reducing flow pulsations as well as their negative impacts on piping systems.

Hose pumps, due to their design, generate pulsations.

This occurs, when the shoes leave the hose after compression on the discharge side of the pump. The compressed hose of the hose pump returns to its original shape, thus the volume at the discharge of the pump increases. This results in pressure drops at the discharge line of the installation creating unwanted pulsations, vibrations and hammering in the piping.

Tapflo DPT pulsation dampeners reduces these pulses up to 80%, by a compressed vessel with a reinforced hose filled once with compressed air or nitrogen.

The lifetime of the hose in the hose pump, the reliability of the pump itself, as well as the performance of the installation are fully optimized.

Our in-line blending process presents a modern solution to the traditional methods of mixing. By removing the need for manual liquid addition and stirring, we're streamlining the process to save you both time and energy.

The immediate availability of the final product is a significant advantage, reducing the time required to create a batch of the end product – whether it's a detergent or something else entirely.

Our system's precision sets it apart. Unlike manual ingredient measuring, our process ensures accurate proportions, reducing ingredient waste. This precision contributes to cost savings in production while upholding the product's quality.

The system is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) and human-machine interface (HMI) built into a cabinet. The HMI allows the operator to monitor and control the system's operation by selecting one of the recipes, and achieve the desired flow rate, volume of a batch or other parameters. The control program's features make it easy to operate and maintain, while the system's high process safety and time-saving benefits ensure consistent and reliable operation.

To use the Mixing Station the tank with liquid need to be positioned under the mixer. Alternatively, in a case of a mobile mixing station, the unit needs to be transported to the location of the tank. Proper positioning of the container (coaxiality of the container axis and mixer impeller axis) is ensured by the guiding rails. After the placement, the mixer is to be lowered and the rotational speed and mixing time are to be set.

During mixing the operator can focus on different tasks and after the unit is finished it will turn off while indicating the end of the cycle. Thanks to the timer function the mixing time can be set accurately and accordingly to a designated product. The specially designed station allows precise positioning of the mixer above the container. The raising and lowering of the mixer are controlled via a control panel connected to the actuator. Alternatively, the unit comes with a manual rope reel that’s easy to use and made to comply with ATEX requirements. In both cases, the mixer is cannot be uncontrollably lowered.

• Raising or lowering the mixer,
• Setting the rotation speed (frequency inverter),
• Setting the mixing time (timer) and automatic shut-off,
• Stopping after raising the mixer or when the IBC is not placed,
• START, STOP, E-STOP (emergency stop),
• Protected from overloading.
