Drum Dumper DL Paste

Move, lift and empty drums safely and efficiently

Does your industry require transferring thick materials like pastes from drums to production processes or storage? The DL-Paste from Fluidor Equipment is designed to lift, move and empty your drums quickly, safely and efficiently.

The drum emptying system DL-Paste is designed for an efficient handling of 200 litre open top drums containing aseptically packed viscous products, like tomato paste, (up to 38° brix) with a maximum viscosity of 25.000 cP.

Depending on the infeed and your product, it can handle up to 50 drums per hour.

How the DL Paste works:

• After production, the DL-Paste can be integrated into your CIP process. The installed complete set of nozzles will clean the inside of the hopper section according to the set cleaning program.
• The drums are placed on the roller conveyor section by forklift with drum gripper. The rings and lids will be removed at the drum opening station including rotating rollers, platform and bolt cutter.
• The drum will automatically be lifted and emptied. The aseptic bag falls on a stainless steel wire belt for transport through the washing section, where the aseptic bag is washed externally by hot or cold water. Washing water can be re-circulated after filtering.
• After washing, the bag is gripped by the squeezer that pulls the bag over rotating circular knives that cut open the bag. 
• The product falls into the product hopper and is discharged by a screw conveyor and twin screw pump. 
• The bag is squeezed by the squeezer, equipped with a partly stainless steel lower roller and a rubber covered upper roller, so the filler caps do not have to be removed up front. 
• Due to variation in quality (hardness), some specific filler caps can break during squeezing, which cannot be influenced by Fluidor. We advise to use transfer caps to put on these filler caps. 
• The empty bag is collected at the end of the machine in a collecting container.
