Drum Dumper Ice Crusher (DPRICS)
With the Drum Dumper Ice Crusher (DPRICS), you can efficiently handle and crush liquid or frozen product contained in drums.
Empty drums with liquid or frozen product in bags
Does your industry benefit from emptying drums with frozen liquid or frozen product and crush it into smaller, manageable flakes for further processing or use?
Speed up your process with the Drum Dumper Ice Crusher (DPRICS). Designed for an efficient emptying of drums with liquid or frozen product in bags.
Depending on the infeed and your product, it can handle up to 60 drums per hour.
How the DPRICS works:
- After production, CIP covers are placed and DPRICS can be integrated into your CIP-process.
- The drums are placed on the roller conveyor system by a forklift with a drum gripper.
- The covers are removed and the bag is opened by an operator.
- Drums are centred for correct infeed in the drum holder for pneumatic clamping and lifting.
- The liquid product falls into the hopper and flows towards the product discharge pump.
- The hard frozen product is smoothly guided by a pneumatic safety grid to the driven crusher with pins that crushes it into flakes.
- At the bottom of the hopper, the driven screw conveyor pushes the product into the twin screw product pump.
- The operator feeds the bag into the squeezer, reducing the product loss to a bare minimum.
The DPRICS automatically empties drums with liquid or frozen product in bags and crushes it, making it easier to handle and use in other processes and improves efficiency.
The DPRICS incorporates safety mechanisms to reduce the risk of accidents during operation and improves workplace safety standards.
The DPRICS can be integrated into automated production lines, reducing the need for manual labour and enhancing operational efficiency.
