VISCOFLUX lite Drum Emptying System EX

Product catalog summary

Overview
The VISCOFLUX lite is a drum emptying system designed for transferring higher-viscosity materials that are just capable of flowing. It is suitable for use with ISO drums with lids and can operate in hazardous areas (Ex version for zone 0/1). The system ensures gentle and continuous transport of media, leaving less than 1% residue in the drum.

Functional Description
The system comprises a FLUX eccentric worm-drive pump with a motor, a pump centring plate, and a follower plate with a process seal. The follower plate is placed directly onto the media, and the pump is routed through the centring plate to the drum's bottom. The pump creates a vacuum, causing the follower plate to descend, ensuring minimal material remains on the drum wall. After transfer, compressed air releases the follower plate from the drum bottom.
