FLOTRONIC INTRODUCES ‘ONE NUT’ BARREL UNLOADING
Flotronic has introduced a new barrel and
drum unloading system, combining the
unique ‘ONE NUT’ pump with their barrel
unloading skid. The new system enables you
to pump highly viscous materials out of your
barrel at significantly increased flow rates.
This system is built around our ‘ONE-NUT’
sanitary style pump which is based on our
3A and EHEDG design. This style of pump
has already proven itself in the hygienic /
sanitary industries and is a match for any
environment or process where avoidance of
product contamination is paramount. The
system can be Cleaned in Place using the
pump itself or an external CIP rig or, because
of the ‘ONE NUT’ design of the pump, it can
be easily stripped down for cleaning.
“Using an inflatable seal, the system
ensures minimal wastage is achieved and
the minimum of product remains in the
barrel.” Says Leighton Jones, Sales Director,
Flotronic Pumps. “As the seal inflates it
creates an excellent seal while moving down
the barrel and at the end of the process it
deflates for easy removal. There is less hold
up compared to other systems, which means
you can empty challenging viscous fluids
from full size drums in a matter of minutes,
improving productivity with increased profit
potential.”
This hygienic hands-free control of the
unloading is efficient and reliable using
proven technology, with application across
the food, beverage and pharmaceutical
industries. Flotronic provide bespoke systems
to customer requirements and can cater for
any fibre, metal or plastic 200 litre/55 gallon
drum or similar. The barrel unloading skid
can be fully mobile or fixed in place, with the
system designed to suit your needs, including
roller systems if required.
