This drum-emptying system is available as an Ex version
Flux-Geräte
The Ex version of ViscoFlux lite (photo) opens new opportunities across a diverse range of industries, such as chemicals or surface finishing technology. For example, it is suitable for supplying machinery and fast-running equipment with lubricating greases in Zone 1. Alternatively it can be used for pumping Zone 0/1 flammable media, such as various base materials for paints and lacquer manufacturing, as well as numerous coatings and fillers. The individual components of the Ex version (Ex-marking II 1 G IIB TX) — the pump centering plate and follower plate, including process seal, as well as the compressed-air hose — are made of conductive or static dissipative materials. Comprehensive and precise potential equalization can be carried out over suitable connections for grounding wires. Residual volume in the drum is less than 1%. To continuously and gently transport higher-viscosity materials that are just capable of flowing, the company uses eccentric worm-drive pumps. In combination with a follower plate, a vacuum is created during pumping, causing the follower plate to lower. In doing so, the process seal of the follower plate hermetically seals the remaining material, thus preventing unwanted emissions and changes to the product.
