The HVS Drum Unloading System is designed for handling highly viscous liquids in industrial as well as hygienic applications. The system is emptying substances transported in barrels, such as:
- tomato paste
- coconut oil
- tahini oil
- resins
- fruit
- vegetable pulps
While the pump is operating, the actuators move the pump down and the liquid is pushed into the pump chambers for easier pumping into the discharge line.
The system is custom designed for best efficiency and safety in the process of pumping high viscosity, paste-like, liquids out of transport drums.
Fast facts
- Max. capacity: 590 l/min
- Volume per stroke: 2 300 ml
- Max discharge pressure: 8 bar
