T65 - DDU: Drum Decanting Unit with integrated pig launching and receiving station

Environmental friendly and cost effective conveying with I.S.T. pigging systems - of course also including filling, separating and cleaning
Application example: DDU for emptying drums and IBCs in the mineral oil industry

A perfect supplement in pigging technology in order to provide safety and functionality when emptying drums and containers (IBC). Here the pumped products are often used as additives for blending processes. The decanting process is semi-automated. With a pre-heated base product the drums will be almost completely emptied. The product is decanted with a pneumatically driven lance which transports the product directly into the piggable transport line. The product will be conveyed directly to the storage tanks or into the subsequent blenders. The exact dosing of the product is effected by a weighing system that is connected to the central control unit of the DDU. A quick change-over from drum decanting to container decanting can be done with help of the flexibly designed roller conveyor. The system can be retooled for the decanting of a completely different kinds of packaging within seconds.

Advantages

  • Compete discharge of high quality additives
  • No product losses thanks to pigging technology
  • No cross-contamination between drummed additives
  • Local control system for automated filling processes
  • No product residues in the container = cost saving
  • No contaminated products = cost saving
  • High quality standards when emptying different additives with one DDU
  • High operational reliability due to automatic control of emptying processes
