Concentrate drum emptying system

Efficiently extract every drop of fruit concentrate from your drums with precision and ease, ensuring optimal product recovery and minimal waste in your processing line.

Empties and Pumps Fruit Concentrate from Drums

The Concentrate Drum Emptying System from Della Toffola is engineered to optimize the transfer of viscous fruit concentrates and liquid formulations from drums, accommodating both manual and automatic operations. This system excels in its ability to turn drums upside down for efficient emptying while integrating stainless steel pumping solutions that maintain the integrity of all fruit concentrates. It is particularly adept at processing orange juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate, grape juice concentrate, and other liquid nutritional supplements, offering versatility across the food, beverage, dairy, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Capable of handling a range of drum sizes from 25 to 1,000 kg, the system includes optional ice crushing/chopping and defreezing features, enhancing its adaptability to different process needs. Once the concentrate is extracted, a precise rinsing function, monitored via flowmeter, ensures complete product recovery, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, it maintains sanitary standards critical for food and pharmaceutical applications. Della Toffola’s system seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, whether in a manual or PLC-controlled automatic setup, and provides easy maintenance with accessible CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems. Configurations can be customized to meet specific production demands, backed by Della Toffola’s engineering support to ensure seamless implementation.
