Bürkle, dispensing system for solvent drain hoses, 95 cm, #5603-5004

Product information "Bürkle, dispensing system for solvent drain hoses, 95 cm, #5603-5004"

Anyone who regularly fills containers from 220-litre drums will eventually reach the limits of their physical strength when using a hand or foot pump. The solvent dispensing system with a discharge hose replaces manual labour with compressed air or an inert gas such as nitrogen, and provides a complete system including a pressure regulator, transport stand and accessories, rather than just a single pump.

Compressed air or inert gas instead of muscle power

The pressure control unit builds up the delivery pressure in the drum in a controlled manner; the solvent then rises through the dip tube to the outlet hose. As there is no longer any need to tread or pump, the flow rate of around 10 litres per minute remains constant throughout the entire filling process, regardless of how many drums are emptied in a day. The system is therefore particularly suitable for businesses with a high, recurring volume of filling work.

Flexible discharge hose for various types of containers

The 1-metre-long discharge hose, with an external diameter of 13 millimetres, can be freely positioned and thus adapts to different target containers without the need to reposition the drum itself. The dip tube, with a diameter of 21 millimetres, can be continuously adjusted to the depth of the drum; when fully submerged, it extends up to 95 centimetres into the drum. For containers with a G2-inch external thread and a viscosity of up to 500 mPa·s, the system is designed for container sizes of up to around 220 litres.

Suitable for use with UN drums with a test pressure of 150 kPa or more

The system is suitable for use with UN containers and drums with a test pressure of at least 150 kPa. This specification is relevant when setting up the pressure-regulating unit, as the delivery pressure must remain within the pressure resistance limit of the respective container. For a wide range of media, including high-purity liquids, operation is possible using either compressed air or an inert gas such as nitrogen.

Materials and safety when handling flammable liquids

Parts in contact with the medium are made primarily of 1.4301 (V2A) stainless steel, supplemented with PTFE. Bürkle expressly points out that the pump and pressure regulator must be earthed; the pump must also be fitted with an anti-static kit. The product page does not specify a particular ATEX certification number; the information provided consists of general recommendations for safe operation with flammable liquids.

A complete system rather than a single pump

The scope of delivery includes more than just the pump: a pressure regulator unit, a transport stand, two protective plugs, an earthing cable for the pressure regulator unit, a connecting hose, a key for the pressure supply and three adaptors for the pressure supply with a G1/4-inch connection. This reduces the effort involved in setting up the system for the first time, as it is not necessary to procure each individual part separately to make the system operational.

If a fixed outlet bend or another type of drive is required

If the solvent is to be dispensed via a fixed, non-flexible spout, the identical in design Solvent extraction system with an outlet elbow the appropriate version, which is also available there in a shorter version for 60-litre containers. If compressed air is not available on site, the mechanical Foot-operated solvent pump with outlet hose covers the same immersion depth range. For particularly aggressive or high-purity media, for which stainless steel is not suitable, the Ultrapure PTFE drum pump with hose and tap Of the two, PTFE and FEP, the more chemically resistant alternative.

Typical applications

Service and Procurement

Businesses with larger facilities or multiple filling stations are welcome to discuss the configuration and accessories, such as compressed air adaptors or spare hoses, with us in advance, so that the system arrives ready for immediate use. A comparison with the fixed outlet elbow version or with mechanical alternatives without a compressed air connection is also available on request.
