Preparation for drum emptying

Ensure that a mains socket (for pumps with electric motor) and a compressed air supply
are available in the immediate vicinity of the drum emptying site.
> Hold the follower plate on both handles and
put it on the fluid.
Observe the drum diameter.
The process seal of the follower plate must
finish flush with the edge of the drum.
> Hold the pump-centring flange on both handles
and put it onto the drum in a way that the
handles of the follower plate fit into the recess
of the pump centring plate.
> Lock the locking bolts to fix the pump centring
plate.
On drums with a filling height of less
than 5 cm to the drum edge, the
pump-centring flange cannot be
immediately correctly fixed on the
edge of the drum. In this case,
pump off the medium until the pump
centring plate finishes flush with the
edge of the drum and then lock the
locking bolts.
> Put the standpipe of the eccentric worm-drive
pump through the opening of the pump-
centring flange and the guide of the follower
plate.
> Push the eccentric worm-drive pump until it
gets in contact with the bottom.
> If not already done so, fix the material hose
(suited to the medium) at the manifold
(discharge side) (3) of the discharge tube.
> Connect the compressed-air hose of the
follower plate with the compressed-air coupling
of the pump centring plate (4) (ball valve
closed).
