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.
