How to Improve Drum & IBC Decanting Speeds

August 11, 2021

The Adelphi Masterfil Drum Decanting Unit – for the Chemicals & Lubricants Industries

Time-Efficient, High Throughput

• Fast decanting, using high viscosity variable speed progressive cavity pumps.
• 4” I/D hose option between nozzle and pump, to optimise pump performance.
• Decanting pump speed feedback loop, to maximise product flow rate.
• Suitable for decanting high viscosity additives, typically up to 23,000 cst.
• Can be configured to decant from either single drums and/or IBC’s.

Maximise Additive Retrieval, for Greater ROI

• Drum tilting station and spray cleaning rinse cycle, to optimise additive recovery.
• Pipework can be air purged, to minimise expensive additive loss.
• Nozzle wiper and flying drip tray, to improve the amount of retrieval.
• Manifold inlet option to decant from multiple additives sources.

Intuitive Operation & Improved Operator Safety

• Accurate vertical decant/rinse lance movement by SERVO drive.
• Unique lance design, to effectively decant and rinse sequentially.
• Nozzle tracking to prevent the nozzle from being immersed too deeply in the product.
• PLC with HMI on swivel arm for ease of operation.
• Rinse kettle weight monitoring option, to improve functionality.
• Mounted on a skid for easy transport and installation.
• Infeed and outfeed can be automated with a roller conveyor, driven for efficiency and using gravity to save energy.

Superior Build Quality for Complete Regulatory Compliance

• 316L stainless steel wetted parts offer exceptional chemical resistance and compliance with regulatory specifications.
• Compliant with either CE and/or new UKCA regulations.
• Many of our machines are still fully operational over 30 years after purchase!
