    Drum Unloading System

    Drum Unloading System

    Dust-Free & Automatic Drum Discharge Equipment

    Orchid’s Drum Unloading System ensures safe, dust-free, and efficient emptying of drums. Automatic drum discharge solutions for pharma, food, chemical, and mineral industries.

    Also known as a Drum Discharge System or Automatic Drum Emptying Machine, this solution is ideal for industries like pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, chemicals, paints, nutraceuticals, and construction materials. The system can be integrated with pneumatic conveying, mixers, reactors, or bagging stations for continuous downstream processing.

    How It Works

    •  Drum Placement – Drum is securely clamped and sealed to avoid dust leakage.
    •  Opening & Sealing – The system opens the drum and seals it against dust escape.
    •  Material Discharge – Powders or liquids are emptied using gravity, pumps, or pneumatic transfer.
    •  Dust Control – Integrated suction ensures dust-free operation.
    •  Continuous Feeding – Material flows directly to mixers, conveyors, or process lines.

    👉 Ensures safe unloading, zero spillage, and contamination-free drum emptying.
