Description
Overview
Volkmann drum discharge stations provide clean, controlled emptying of bulk materials from drums and containers. Material is extracted and transferred to a vacuum conveyor system. Systems can operate by tilting drums into a pick-up hopper or by using an automatically guided suction lance; lance feeding can also be performed manually as required.
Key features and operation
Volkmann systems for drum discharge include:
Containment and control
The system continuously monitors and regulates suction airflow to avoid excess pressure on sensitive bulk goods. Configurations support discharge from drums with liners under full containment so the station can function as a closed system in controlled environmental conditions.
Custom drum tipping and emptying station (example)
This example is a customised solution developed for specific customer requirements. Operational modes and capabilities include:
Video / Demonstration
A demonstration video is available showing the operation and features of the drum tipping / emptying station.
