Drum unloader for liquid ingredients
Unlock efficient unloading of viscous and liquid ingredients without the hassle of lifting or tipping, ensuring smooth integration into your existing process. Designed to reduce batch preparation times and improve ergonomic handling, it’s the ideal solution for high-capacity production lines handling diverse ingredients.
Unloads and Fluidizes Viscous Liquid Ingredients
The Tetra Pak® Drum Unloader offers a sophisticated solution for unloading viscous liquid ingredients efficiently in food and beverage production. Featuring water injection technology, it facilitates quicker flow and fluidization right at the suction head, effectively streamlining the unloading of fruit concentrates, oat slurries, and pastes. With a lance diameter of just 66 mm, this unit offers reduced handling weight compared to conventional systems, enhancing operator ergonomics and reducing manual strain. The patented suction check valve ensures no liquid backflow, maintaining high capacity operations while preventing the suction of drum inlays. Designed for integration into existing setups, this equipment is ideal for semi-automatic or manual operations, catering to processing departments handling liquid and slurry product types. The weight balancing system offers ergonomic benefits, removing the need for drum tipping and minimizing contamination risks. This unloader can be customized with a pneumatic arm for operations handling multiple drums per hour, making it a versatile choice for juice and concentrate producers, dairy product manufacturers, and more.
