High viscosity liquid drum unloading system – HVS Quattro
Simplify the unloading of highly viscous liquids with our High Viscosity System Quattro-type (HVS Quattro). It is designed for high-volume applications where multiple drums (typically four) are stored on pallets. The HVS Quattro allows you to switch between the drums easily, thanks to our revolutionary articulated arm. Experience an impressive product removal rate of up to 99% which will reduce your production costs.
Our HVS Quattro drum unloading solution incorporates a sanitary double diaphragm pump with built-in lifting and lowering functions, designed for the swift and efficient unloading of 200-liter drums. This mobile system ensures the rapid extraction of contents, such as double-concentrated tomato paste, from a drum in less than two minutes, highlighting its exceptional speed and effectiveness in real-world applications.

Maximize Your Savings: Achieve a 99% product extraction rate, significantly reducing product wastage and resulting in production cost savings over time. Our system is designed for rapid drum unloading. It is capable of pumping up to 400 liters per minute, depending on the liquid’s properties and discharge pressure.
Time Efficiency: Our automated unloading system saves valuable operator time, enabling them to concentrate on other important tasks. Once the pump is positioned inside the drum and initiated, it operates autonomously, stopping automatically once the drum is empty. During this process, operators can focus responsibilities, or prepare another drum by opening and securing the lining bag.
Our system is conveniently mounted on a mobile 4-wheel frame, allowing easy transportation to the drum storage area. Once positioned, pallets can be effortlessly delivered using a forklift truck or manual pallet truck. Thanks to our system’s sturdy support structure, precise pallet placement is easy, enabling a swift start to the process.
The next step involves utilizing the articulated arm, equipped with the pump, to securely position the scrapping lid on the top of the drum to be unloaded first. After the pump is properly situated, it can be initiated by simply pressing the START button on the control panel. The pump will automatically descend until it reaches the bottom of the drum, at which point it will halt. Alternatively, it can be manually controlled by the operator when opting for manual operation mode.
The final phase of unloading the drum entails removing the lid from an empty drum. To facilitate this task with speed and efficiency, the system provides compressed air between the lid and the drum.

In today’s industry, the use of containers like drums and IBCs has become exceptionally commonplace. These versatile vessels are very often used to transporting highly viscous liquids such as pulps or concentrates, which are always stored in drums lined with as aseptic bag.
Straight Drums: Among these container options, the 200-liter straight steel drum takes center stage as the most common and available one. Usually you have the flexibility to use an individual drum delivery, arranged on a compact pallet, or you can choose the convenience of 4 drums positioned on a single pallet.
Conical Drums: In specific industries, conical drums become more and more common, thanks to their space-saving capabilities by nesting together when they’re empty, making them a practical choice for a variety of applications, particularly in high-volume production scenarios.
Customized Drum Solutions: Regardless of the type of drum you use, our High Viscosity System (HVS) can be easily adapted to meet your needs. Our HVS is purpose-built for drum unloading systems that handle viscous liquids. It includes a specialized scraping lid (follower plate) designed to extract every last drop of product from the drum and bag. For straight drums, we offer a lid equipped with a versatile lip seal, ensuring thorough scraping while effortlessly adjusting to any changes in the drum’s shape, including wall damage, all while providing a cost-effective solution.
When it comes to conical drums, our solution is an inflatable seal integrated with our pneumatic control system. This seal adjusts its size, providing high scraping efficiency as it reaches the lower regions of the drum.
IBC, Goodpack, and Bag-in-Box® Options: Our HVS systems can also be configured to unload IBC containers, Goodpack multimodal containers, or Bag-in-Box® containers. This versatility ensures you have a flexible solution at your disposal for a wide range of transport and storage needs. Get in touch with us, and we’ll be more than happy to provide a tailored solution that perfectly aligns with your specific requirements.
Our HVS Quattro system is operated through an integrated control panel, providing a user-friendly interface. Within the control system, operators can easily switch between automatic and manual modes. The panel offers convenient pushbuttons for precise pump positioning (RAISE or LOWER) and pump control (START or STOP). Additionally, it enables control of the pumping speed. Each control panel is equipped with the main system switch (ON/OFF) and a safety pushbutton (E-STOP) for added security and peace of mind.
We produce our control panels in-house, giving you the freedom to tailor each Drum Unloading System to your precise requirements. Our specialized team of automation motorers is keen to adjust the controls to align with your processes, all upon your request.
This flexibility enables the HVS Quattro System to be integrated with other equipment in your production line, such as filling machines. Our motorers collaborate closely with you to ensure seamless integration of the HVS into your overall production workflow.
