CFE-K-OC - Containment drum emptying

The patent-pending HECHT containment drum emptying station with tilting device "CFE-K-OC" combines maximum containment with semi-automated drum handling. It enables low-contamination, safe and ergonomic emptying of drums up to OEB 3.

The entire process - from lifting the drum and positioning it at the airlock to automatically removing and replacing the drum lid - is semi-automated. This minimises manual intervention and therefore increases operator safety, process stability and efficiency.

Inside the glovebox, the bag is opened and emptied using the gloves and the empty bag is discharged via a waste port. An optional vibration unit supports the complete discharge of the product. After emptying, the drum is automatically returned, the airlock is closed and the lid is securely fastened - ready for the next cycle.

Thanks to this automation, combined with a robust stainless steel design and modular options, the CFE-K-OC is the ideal solution for pharmaceutical, chemical and battery applications where safety and ergonomics are crucial.
