Drum discharge system for bulk material handling
Handling bulk materials from drums in industries like pharmaceuticals or chemicals often requires a method that minimizes damage to delicate goods while ensuring efficient transport.

Efficiently unload materials from drums
The Volkmann Drum Discharge System excels in discharging bulk material from drums by using either a tilting mechanism or an automatic guided suction lance. The lance can function automatically or be manually operated, providing flexibility based on user needs. A special secondary air entrainment feature allows the system to efficiently transport materials from barrels or sacks. Additionally, the system monitors and regulates the suction air flow to avoid excessive pressure, ensuring that sensitive materials like delicate tablets remain undamaged.
