Material feeding If we want to achieve perfect results with grease and oil metering, it is important that our material be pumped efficiently and without air pockets (air bubbles). An uninterrupted and reliable material supply is absolutely essential to achieve that. With every application, the selection of an optimum feeding system must consider factors such as material properties, process parameters and container size. The DOPAG product portfolio offers an extensive range of solutions for fluid metering, including drum pumps, transfer pumps and pressure tanks. All DOPAG feeding systems rely...

Drum change support Drum pallet Drums can be prepared and centered in advance in the warehouse, saving time when changing drums. Simple and efficient drum change Various drum change support options are optionally available to protect the operator from excessive loads. The drum roll-in mechanism allows containers to get more easily onto the base plate. With the drum roller conveyor the container stands on rollers and can be centred more conveniently under the follower plate. With the third and final expansion stage, lifting is no longer necessary completely. The drum is changed using a mobile...
