Drum Unloading System

Efficiently transfer materials from drums to downstream processing with ease

Indpro’s drum unloading system was developed to well integrate our conveying systems with drums to avoid material dusting at the source and ensure no contamination in the product being handled.

Why is this so significant? Because we view this as one of the most difficult aspects of the food, chemical, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Contamination in the product at the unloading point leads to various troubles in the manufacturing process or in the quality of the final product.

This space-saving device offers high versatility to work with different drum heights and diameters under inert atmosphere, if required. drum unloading system is extremely cost-effective when compared to conventional isolation systems.

Safety is always a top priority, thus no drum lifting or tipping is necessary even when there is a chance of a partial drum emptying.

There are numerous materials accessible for whole system integration (SS304, SS316, SS316L). Our DIS also manages to integrate to different sizes and types of drums, including plastic or steel drums and cardboard bins.

The drum integration station with suction lance offers the perfect solution in combination with the pneumatic vacuum conveying system. The system is optionally adaptable for a large variety of tasks; therefore, different designs are possible according to the GMP guideline in conformity with FDA or ATEX standards. A loss in weight dosing and the weighing unit can be integrated to enable a partial or complete drum discharge.

Working of drum unloading system:

The drum must be placed into the drum integration platform. After opening the drum and connecting it with the drum integration station, the inner and outer liner must be clamped to the station to ensure sealing at the time of unloading.

Vacuum is generated between the outer liner and the drum wall which ensures suction lance cannot suck in the liner. The suction lance is inserted after opening of the liner and the material is drawn in and conveyed to the desired location without any contact between the powder and the operator or the surroundings. The round ring and inflated seal can be taken apart after the discharging procedure is finished, and the empty inner liner can then be sealed and placed back inside the drum to ensure that the outer liner is disconnected and contained. Rotating spray nozzles and a manual spray gun can be fitted to clean the system.
