Highly Efficient, Gentle on Product and Your Bottom Line
Unload drums quickly and easily with up to 99% or better product removal when you use the ADU from Ampco Applied Products. The ADU utilizes the Bornemann SLH-4G sanitary twin screw pump paired with an inflatable drum seal suction head that stays sealed to the wall of the drum as it moves down unloading the contents. The SLH-4G and included cleaning module are fully CIP-able.
The ADU can unload a wide range of products with viscosities from 1-1,000,000cP with ease. The gentle conveyance and low pulsation operation of the SLH-4G maintains product integrity as the contents are emptied.
The ADU sanitary drum unloading system offers greater energy efficiency when compared to air-driven units. The main system utilizes an electrically powered pumping system and controls, requiring only a small amount of air to lift/lower and seal the bladder to the drum.
Drums can be quickly positioned for unloading from the ground or from a pallet via the drum stops on the unloading deck and a v-block stop is available for pallets.
The ADU’s sturdy modular design offers affordability and ease of maintenance.
