Drum unloader for liquid ingredients
Streamline the unloading of viscous liquid ingredients with advanced water injection technology, ensuring faster flow and reduced batch preparation times while maintaining optimal product integrity.
Efficiently Unloads and Transfers Liquid Ingredients
The Tetra Pak® Drum Unloader is a versatile solution for food and beverage manufacturers designed to optimize liquid ingredient handling. Utilizing innovative water injection technology, it fluidizes and rapidly transfers viscous materials like fruit concentrates and pastes from 200-liter drums. This system is compatible with various applications, including yogurt bases, plant-based cheese mixes, and tomato pastes. With a small-diameter lance and lightweight design, it enhances operator ergonomics and minimizes manual effort. Semi-automatic options further boost efficiency for high-volume environments. The unit’s patented suction check valve ensures complete emptying without contamination risk, making it both reliable and efficient for integrated production lines. Available with mechanical support systems, it avoids tilting risks and supports floor-level operations, maintaining rigorous hygiene standards. Designed for easy integration and reduced energy consumption, it supports modern processing needs with precision and reliability.
