Advanced Features
Unload Smarter: Ampco’s High-Efficiency Drum and Tote Solutions
At Ampco Applied Products, our ADU Drum Unloaders and ATU Tote Unloaders are engineered to transform your material handling processes, offering a suite of benefits that directly impact your bottom line and operational efficiency.
Superior Performance with Viscous Products:
Our unloaders excel where others falter. The powerful twin-screw pump and sealed inflatable follower plate enable efficient and consistent container evacuation of highly viscous products, handling viscosities up to an impressive 1,000,000 cP. This robust capability means you can transfer challenging materials without the need for heating or diluting the product, preserving its original properties and reducing processing steps.
Minimize Product Waste with Unmatched Efficiency:
Say goodbye to costly product waste. The Ampco Applied Products ADU and ATU systems boast an impressive evacuation efficiency of up to 99%. This is achieved through the innovative combination of a twin-screw pump and the unique sealed inflatable follower plate, which effectively scrapes the interior of drums and totes, ensuring nearly all product is recovered. This superior material recovery translates directly into significant cost savings and reduced disposal expenses.
Precision Batch Dosing and Low Pulsation:
Achieve unparalleled accuracy in your production with our systems’ precise batch dosing capabilities. The twin-screw pump design delivers a consistent, low-pulsation flow, making it ideal for applications requiring exact quantities of material. This gentle handling of product also means no agitation or shearing, preserving the integrity of sensitive ingredients.
Energy Efficiency and Reduced Air Usage:
Our drum and tote unloaders are designed with efficiency at their core. The electric-driven twin-screw pump reduces energy consumption compared to full pneumatic-driven pump systems. This significantly reduced air usage contributes to lower operational costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
Enhanced Safety in Product Transfer:
Safety is paramount in any industrial setting, especially when lifting or tipping barrels and manually unloading viscous or potentially hazardous products. Our ADU and ATU units are designed with operator safety in mind. The sealed inflatable follower plate creates a contained environment during product transfer, significantly reducing the risk of spills, splashes, and exposure to personnel.
Streamlined Operations with Easy Cleanup and CIP Module:
Maintenance and cleanup are simplified with the ADU and ATU units. The included Clean-In-Place (CIP) module allows for automated, thorough cleaning without extensive disassembly, minimizing downtime and labor costs. This feature, combined with the sanitary design of the sealed inflatable follower plate, ensures rapid and effective cleaning, maintaining the highest levels of hygiene.
Test your product with our unloading systems
Ampco Applied Products offers product unloading testing to customers on request. Our engineers can perform product unloading tests in our on-site state-of-the-art lab using customers’ provided product drum or tote samples to ensure the desired results are met.
