Drum unloader for liquid ingredients
In food processing facilities, efficiently unloading liquid concentrates from drums is essential to maintain production flow and ensure product quality. Challenges including time-consuming manual handling and dealing with highly viscous ingredients can slow down operations and introduce errors.
Streamline the unloading process
The Tetra Pak® Drum Unloader is a versatile solution designed to unload drums up to 200 liters in volume. Its water injection technology fluidizes viscous ingredients at the suction head, allowing them to flow up to twice as fast. The small 66 mm lance diameter, nearly 50% lighter than traditional lances, makes handling easier and reduces operator fatigue. The patented suction check valve minimizes pressure loss and prevents liquid backflow, ensuring complete drum emptying without aspirating the inlay. Additionally, its ergonomic weight balancing system allows drum unloading at floor level, eliminating the need for drum tipping and reducing contamination risk. Optional semi-automatic handling further enhances efficiency when dealing with many drums per hour.
