Clean drum emptying – efficient down to the last drop.

Drum emptying systems

More product, less residue

Systems for process-safe emptying of drums and containers in industrial applications. Designed for clean, controlled pumping and efficient residual emptying. Depending on the fluid and process environment, design, materials, interfaces, and peripherals can be customized. Support is provided for selection, engineering, and integration into existing processes.

Two Post Ram System

The two-column ram press is a robust solution for emptying drums and larger containers with highly viscous, paste-like, or poor-flowing media. Its stable twin-column design ensures smooth follower-plate guidance and supports safe, efficient, and process-stable material transfer.

  • Emptying of drums and larger containers

  • Clean, controlled pumping of high-viscosity media

  • Stable two-column guidance for uniform contact pressure

  • Efficient residual emptying to reduce product loss

  • Customizable materials, pump options, and interfaces

  • Optional accessories such as roller conveyor, drum centering, empty-drum indication, or mobile design

  • Installation, service, and spare parts from a single source

Single Post Ram System

The single-column ram press is ideal for emptying small to medium containers, pails, and drums containing highly viscous or poor-flowing media. Its compact design allows space-saving integration into existing production environments and enables clean, controlled pumping directly from the container.

  • Compact solution for pails, drums, and smaller containers

  • Clean, controlled pumping of high-viscosity media

  • Space-saving design for flexible use

  • Efficient residual emptying to reduce product loss

  • Customizable materials, pump options, and interfaces

  • Installation, service, and spare parts from a single source

Why we’re the right choice for your drum and container emptying solution

IST stands for practical drum and container emptying solutions—tailored to your product, container, and process requirements. Our systems enable clean, efficient, and reliable emptying, even for highly viscous or difficult-to-pump media. With robust engineering, many years of experience, and application-specific design, we deliver solutions that integrate seamlessly into industrial processes.

Application areas

Drum emptying systems are suitable for emptying drums, pails, and containers with highly viscous or poor-flowing media, as well as for transferring and decanting into tanks, IBCs, and process vessels. They handle paste-like, thick, or sticky products—such as adhesives, sealants, silicones, greases, resins, or pastes—reliably and in a controlled manner. Typical applications include residual emptying to reduce product loss, batch processes with frequent container changeovers, and integration into existing production lines or custom plant concepts.

Optional accessories

Our ram press systems can be flexibly configured with a wide range of accessories to match your process, container sizes, and production conditions—for example roller conveyors, drum centering, empty-drum indication, mobile versions, forklift pockets, sensors, and custom container fixtures. Additional options include lift lids and follower lids, extrusion guns and extrusion/dosing valves, material pressure regulators, hoses, follower plates for 20–200 L containers, heating, wall/mounting brackets, as well as valves and pneumatic accessories (safety shut-off valves, check valves, swivels, and ball valves).
