Powerprime barrel pumping system
The Powerprime 540 and H540 series drum evacuation systems are pneumatic devices used in conjunction with a Kecol piston pump and a feed pressure plate to transfer semi-fluid cold products from open drums or containers. The Powerprime hinge rod is designed to allow the pump and pressure plate to manoeuvre around 4 containers placed on a pallet without removing the container from the pallet.
The clamping plate can be manufactured to fit almost any container up to 650 mm in diameter.
Selection of materials
Hygienic design
- The H540 series is made of unpainted stainless steel for the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
- Stainless steel with Teflon seals and gaskets
- Stainless steel pressure plate with white food-grade removable ring.
Industrial design
- The 540 Series is made of stainless steel with a painted carriage and articulated rod for industrial applications.
- Stainless steel pump with Teflon or nitrile seals and gaskets
- The wiper blades are made of stainless steel and come with a black nitrile wiper ring
The Kecol Powerprime as a total reach of 1350mm, allowing access to a number of containers as they are positioned around the unit. The base of the system must be permanently fixed to the floor - using eight (18mm diameter) fixing points as shown.
Measuring cylinders used in conjunction with a Kecol piston pump distribute a given volume of liquid or viscous product. They are made of either carbon steel or 316 stainless steel and are available with manual or pneumatic drive and fixed or adjustable outputs from 200 ml to 3 litres.
The variable displacement pump provides a means of varying the stroke length and therefore the output of a Kecol pump. When used in conjunction with a piston stroke counter, the variable displacement pump will deliver a set volume of viscous product and stop when the set number of strokes is reached.
In situations where product temperature needs to be maintained, Kecol pumps can be equipped with a water jacket, that allows hot or cold water to circulate through the entire length of the pump.
The Megaprime twin-cylinder clamping system, based on the Maxiprime system, is suitable for containers up to 1200 mm in diameter and can be adapted to square hoppers.
If your requirement does not fit within the standard pump parameters or systems, Kecol is ready to design and manufacture a unit to meet your requirements. Our engineers are always happy to discuss the many options for upgrading or complicating the system.
