MixSys Drum Unloader: Efficient, Safe, and Clean High-Viscosity Material Transfer


In the food and manufacturing industries, moving high-viscosity ingredients from drums can be a major bottleneck. Manual scooping is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often messy, leading to wasted product and potential safety risks. The MixSys Drum Unloader solves these challenges by providing a fast, safe, and efficient way to pump medium to high-viscosity materials from 55-gallon drums—without adding heat or diluting the product.


What is the MixSys Drum Unloader?


The MixSys Drum Unloader is an industrial-grade pumping system designed for high-viscosity materials such as nut butters, caramels, jams, jellies, frostings, tomato paste, and corn syrup. With a clean drum evacuation rate of up to 99%, it ensures nearly complete transfer of product from drums, reducing waste and streamlining production.


Unlike traditional methods, the MixSys Drum Unloader requires no heating or dilution, maintaining ingredient integrity and flavor profiles while speeding up production processes.


Key Benefits of Using a Drum Unloader


1. Clean Drum Evacuation

Efficiently empties 55-gallon drums without leaving excess product behind. This reduces waste, cuts down on cleanup time, and ensures consistent ingredient usage in your recipes.


2. Safe and Efficient Transfer

Manual scooping can lead to repetitive strain injuries and contamination risks. The MixSys Drum Unloader provides a safer, ergonomic alternative, improving both employee safety and production efficiency.


3. Wide Material Compatibility

From thick nut butters and caramels to jams, jellies, frostings, and tomato paste, this system handles a wide variety of high-viscosity food products and other viscous materials.


4. Faster Production and Reduced Labor Costs

With up to 99% evacuation, drum changeouts are faster, helping manufacturers save time and reduce labor costs while keeping production moving smoothly.
