The Drum Dumper Crusher (DPRCS) is a fully integrated system for efficiently emptying and processing 200-litre drums containing high-viscosity liquid products such as soft-frozen fruit juice concentrates and honey. Drums are loaded onto a roller conveyor, opened, and pneumatically tipped to discharge contents into a hopper. Remaining product is recovered using a hygienic bag squeezer, while a slow-turning vertical chopper breaks down soft-frozen material for smooth downstream transfer via a screw conveyor and twin-screw pump. Designed for hygienic operation, the DPRCS is CIP-ready and built for continuous, long-term industrial use.
