Drum Cleaning Systems
High-Performance Drum & Barrel Cleaning Systems
Automated Solutions for Chemical, Food, and Industrial Applications
In industries where cross-contamination is a risk and manual cleaning is a bottleneck, our Dual-Pump Drum Cleaning System offers a turnkey solution. By combining the rugged versatility of Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps with the precision of High-Pressure Plunger pumps, we deliver a system that cleans faster, uses less solvent/water, and ensures 100% residue removal.
How the System Works: The Power of Two
A superior cleaning cycle requires two distinct phases: high-impact impingement to remove scales and high-volume evacuation to prevent pooling.
The High-Pressure Scouring Phase
Powered by: High-Pressure Plunger Pumps
The heart of the cleaning power lies in the plunger pump. This unit generates the intense pressure required to feed specialized 360° rotating spray heads.
- Impact: Mechanical force strips away hardened resins, paints, food products, and chemical residues.
- Efficiency: High pressure allows for lower water/solvent consumption compared to standard wash-down methods.
- Durability: Designed for continuous duty with ceramic plungers and stainless steel manifolds.
The Rapid Evacuation Phase (Slop Removal)
Powered by: AODD (Air-Operated Double Diaphragm) Pumps
As the high-pressure head cleans the drum, the AODD pump acts as the “scavenger.”
- Solids Handling: AODD pumps easily handle the thick “slurry” of dislodged solids and cleaning fluids.
- Self-Priming & Run-Dry: These pumps can run dry without damage, ensuring every last drop of waste is suctioned out of the drum.
ATEX Certified: Safe for use with flammable solvents or in hazardous environments
Applications & Industries
Our systems are engineered to meet the stringent standards of:
- Chemical Manufacturing: Total removal of resins, inks, and adhesives.
- Food & Beverage: Sanitary-grade pumps for 3-A or FDA-compliant cleaning.
- Pharmaceutical: Validation-ready cleaning cycles to prevent cross-contamination.
Waste Management: Efficient reconditioning of industrial IBCs and 55-gallon drums.
Engineering Excellence You Can Trust
We don’t just sell pumps; we provide fluid dynamics expertise. Whether you need a stationary multi-drum station or a mobile cleaning cart, our systems are built with:
- Chemical-resistant seals (Viton, PTFE, or EPDM).
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for precise pressure control.
- Stainless Steel frames for corrosive environments.
