The HECHT Containment Drum Discharger with lance type CFE-L is used for contamination-free emptying of drums with inner liners up to OEB 5. To ensure operator and product protection, the products supplied in drums are additionally packaged in films, also known as liners. The product must be packed in at least one liner. Drum emptying using a suction lance is particularly suitable where space is at a premium or where weight-controlled product removal is required. The ergonomic handling of our drum unloader won the POWTECH Technology Award in 2016.
