Focus on work safety: DOPAG simplifies drum changing for lubricant and adhesive pumps

In view of increasingly stringent requirements for work safety and worker protection, more and more industrial companies are setting maximum load limits of 15 kg per operator. However, drums for lubricants and adhesives often exceed this limit. DOPAG has therefore developed a range of drum change equipment that makes everyday work in production significantly easier and more efficient.

The drum change equipment is suitable for lubricant and adhesive pumps, which are available in three sizes: 30, 80 and 200 litres. These versions can be ordered:

Drum roll-in mechanism:
With a roller attached, 200-litre drums can be lifted onto the pump base plate and positioned with ease and minimal effort.

Integrated drum roller conveyor:
The integrated drum roller conveyor makes operation even easier and allows full mobility of the 200-litre containers. They can be pushed completely to the rear and centred under the pump lifter.

Drum pallet:
The drum pallet is the third and final upgrade for the 200-litre pumps. The transportable pallet structure reduces the strain on the operator and ensures time-saving, quick drum changes. Several pallets can be pre-positioned and prepared in the warehouse – drum changes require minimal effort and reduce production downtime.

Drum trolley:
For small container sizes (30 and 80 litres), DOPAG has designed an easily movable drum trolley with integrated rollers. It can be pushed directly under the pump lifter and securely locked in place with the aid of parking brakes.

With DOPAG's drum changing equipment, customers can work safely, efficiently and in a resource-saving manner.

The advantages for operators at a glance:
• Increased occupational safety
• High operating comfort and ergonomic working
• Reduced strain on operators
• Efficient and time-saving drum changing
