Intended use
The VISCOFLUX mobile S drum emptying system is a mobile conveying system used to
conveniently empty high-viscosity materials out of ISO drums with lids and, for foodstuff, for
filling containers from conical drums with aseptic bags (cosmetics and pharmaceutical
industry).
Emptying takes place under supervision.
The drum emptying system is used in combination with eccentric worm-drive pumps
(e.g. F 550 S-TR, F 560 S-TR).
The drum emptying system must not be used for flammable materials or in hazardous areas.
The drum emptying system must not be exposed to weather.
The chemical resistance properties must be observed.
The drum emptying system must always be adjusted to the pumped material (see resistance
chart).
When changing the pumped material, the internal process instructions applicable at the plant
must be observed.
Possible chemical reactions and resulting health hazards and damage to materials have to
be taken into account.
The process device must not be used to lift persons.
Non-observance may result in damage to the drum emptying system and injury to operating
personnel.
