Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this unit is fully pneumatic, no hydraulics, and no electrical requirements. It is equipped with a manual turntable to hold the drums, floor locks, two-handed controls for safe operation, and four abrasion-resistant polyurethane wheels to allow for easy maneuverability. The METO Systems drum conditioner is applicable in warehouse environments, GMP areas, hazardous locations, or simply anywhere on site with an air supply.
The drum, box, or bag must be lifted and placed onto the manual turntable. The unit then applies pressure through horizontal and vertical bars, with the drum, box or bag’s internal liner still tied and the lid still attached. Four, 2.5” air cylinders then generate up to 1600 pounds of crushing force to apply pressure evenly yet through multiple points of contact over the drum surface.
The manual turntable on the standard unit can be used for plastic and fiber drums ranging from 12” to 36” in height, and 12” to 24” in diameter; cardboard boxes ranging from 12” to 24” in square base area, and 12” to 36” in height ; and multi-ply paper or plastic bags ranging from 12” to 36” in height.
