Efficiently filling silicone oils from 200-liter drums

Silicone oils with viscosities ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 mPas are transferred from 200-liter drums into 5-liter buckets. The high-viscosity oils are pumped directly at room temperature without additional heating.

Solution
F 550 GS eccentric screw pump with F 457 motor

Task

Fill silicone oils with a viscosity of 5,000 to 10,000 mPas from 200-liter drums into 5-liter buckets. The transfer must be carried out efficiently without preheating the medium and must be suitable for industrial filling processes.

Requirements
  • Pumping of high-viscosity oils without preheating  
  • Pulsation-free, gentle pumping  
  • Constant pressure during the pumping process
Solution in Detail

An F 550 GS progressive cavity pump with an F 457 commutator motor delivers the silicone oil directly from the drum. The pump operates with low turbulence and at a constant rate. Filling is performed using a floor scale or, alternatively, with a FLUX flow meter and FLUXTRONIC® controller.

Result

Precise dosing in the filling process

The combination of an eccentric screw pump, a flow meter, and FLUXTRONIC® enables precise control of the filling volume. Alternatively, dosing is performed using a floor scale. Both methods ensure reproducible results with high-viscosity media. 

Pumping of high-viscosity silicone oils without preheating—eliminates a process step

Gentle, low-turbulence conveyance protects the medium

Pulsation-free operation ensures consistent filling

High dosing accuracy with FLUXTRONIC® or a floor scale

A portable and easily disassembled solution for flexible applications
