ROBADRUM 200 - DRUM UNLOADER FOR HIGH MELTING CAPACITY

RobaDrum 200 is a pneumatically operated drum unloader that gently processes thermoplastic and reactive hot melt adhesives, sealants, and butyl from 200-liter steel or cardboard drums. Due to the large selection of freely selectable delivery rates and melting capacities, RobaDrum 200 is suitable as a pre-melter for tank or basin filling and for surface application in laminating and profile wrapping systems as well as coating and laminating systems.

ADVANTAGES OF ROBADRUM 200 AT A GLANCE

  • Large selection of pumps and melting plates. This allows your drum unloader to be optimally configured for your production process.
  • Little adhesive residue. This saves you costs and protects the environment.
  • Easy drum unloader operation via touchscreen with graphical user interface.
  • Due to the robust FEP coating, you can clean the melting plates easily and quickly.
  • Choose the Tandem or Quattro variant so that your production continues without interruption when you change drums.
  • Straightforward system integration thanks to standardized fieldbus systems or open interfaces for direct component control.

MELTING CAPACITY: FLAT OR RIBBED MELTING PLATE?

The thermal conductivity of the adhesive used and the desired melting capacity define the melting plate suitable for your process. RobaDrum 200 offers flat and ribbed melting plates for EVA, PSA, and PUR adhesives. Butyl is melted using a ribbed melting plate specially developed for sealants

All melting plates are FEP-coated and therefore easy to clean. The optimized plate design reduces the amount of adhesive residue to a minimum - a pivotal detail to reduce your operating costs and protect the environment.

Melting plates: ribbed (B1), flat (B2), ribbed high (B3), ribbed butyl (B4)

Gentle Melting for Optimum Adhesive Application Quality

RobaDrum 200 melts adhesives, sealants, and butyl according to the melt-on-demand principle. This means that only the top layer of the adhesive in the drum is melted. The remaining adhesive in the drum is not subjected to thermal stress. This keeps the bonding properties of the material intact, and your product is reliably coated and bonded.

VARIABLE PERFORMANCE SPECTRUM FOR INDUSTRIAL SURFACE APPLICATION

Whether you are a manufacturer in the converting, textile, wood, construction supply, automotive, or graphical industry, with RobaDrum 200 and a surface application head, you can coat and laminate a wide variety of materials uniformly and reliably. This is ensured by the numerous options and practical variants:

  • You select the desired gear pump from our range: From a low delivery rate with precise fine adjustment (0.7 kg/h*) to a high delivery rate (205 kg/h*) with quantity control.
  • Even highly viscous sealants, filled and abrasive adhesives are delivered reliably and in high quantities.
  • Integrated pattern control enables continuous and intermittent surface and bead application.
  • With the optional quantity control, you can easily achieve a uniform surface application, even at dynamic production speeds
  • You can operate RobaDrum 200 with two heated hoses and up to eight individually controlled application heads.
  • A powerful piston pump is available for processing butyl.
  • You can use RobaDrum 200 in Tandem or Quattro mode for continuous surface application

PRE-MELTER: SEAMLESS TANK OR BASIN FILLING

RobaDrum 200 is the perfect pre-melter for filling melter tanks or basins. Depending on your needs, select a suitable gear pump for a maximum delivery rate of up to 205 kg/h* (*dependent on adhesive, viscosity, and temperature). You can vary the required adhesive quantity quickly and easily at any time via the Robatech Control System.

If you are looking for continuous filling, we recommend running RobaDrum 200 in Tandem or Quattro mode. As soon as the level in the drum of the active system reaches the lower threshold, the controller automatically starts the preheating function for the redundant system and switches operation in time.

ROBADRUM 200: EASY AND SAFE TO USE

RobaDrum 200 offers standardized safety devices and accessories to increase the safety of your personnel during operation.

  • With the two-hand control, the operator activates the lifting cylinders to raise or lower the melting plate while remaining outside the danger zone.
  • When the melting plate is raised, the automatic drum ventilation is activated. The drum can be replaced in a controlled and safe manner.
  • The drum must be vented when lowering the melting plate. You can choose between manual or automatic venting.
  • An optional drum restraint is available for added safety and stability. It is attached to the front of the drum unloader and ensures that the drum remains in place when the melter plate is raised.
  • Do you want to avoid exposing your operating personnel to harmful adhesive vapors during drum changing? The optional extraction system is the ideal solution. It is connected to an existing venting system and requires a volume flow of 350 m3/h and a pressure difference of 450 Pa.

ROBADRUM 200: SUITABLE FUNCTIONS FOR PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

You can select additional optional system functions to optimize your adhesive process. Activation is convenient via software key without installation effort.

For efficient control and management of application lengths and application quantities for hotmelt and cold glue
For monitoring the adhesive consumption and adhesive application position
For the acquisition and evaluation of system and measurement data
