How can I take product from barrels?
Due to their construction, barrels generally do not have a nice pointed outlet like an IBC or a truck. Emptying a barrel can occasionally be done with a suction lance. A drum turner is the more structural solution for frequent emptying of drums. The drum turner is equipped with a pointed outlet. This leads to better emptying after the vessel has been tilted. A drum turner can be driven manually or automatically. The barrel intake can be fully automated. This includes automatic lid removal, extraction and docking at height via a lift. This can be relevant with harmful products.
