Solution
Mobile drum emptying system VISCOFLUX mobile S with progressive cavity pump F 560 S
The Challenge
High-viscosity petroleum jelly must be metered from 200-liter drums over a long conveying distance into a mixing tank. High viscosity and line pressure make it difficult to maintain a stable process.
High viscosity
Vaseline is not a free-flowing substance and creates high flow resistance in the system.
Long conveyor route
A 14-meter line increases back pressure and makes dosing more difficult.
Monitor Process Pressure
A pressure increase when the outlet is closed requires a safe shutdown.
Process Flow
From the keg to controlled dispensing in four steps.
The VISCOFLUX mobile S is driven up to the drum and placed on top of it.
The eccentric screw pump conveys the petroleum jelly through the heated pipeline.
Heating the pipe lowers the viscosity and reduces the back pressure.
A ball valve controls the flow, and a pressure switch automatically stops and starts the pump.
Result
Reliable dosing over long conveying distances
Reduced back pressure due to a heated pipe
Automatic pressure monitoring prevents overload
