HV High Viscosity
Platen System

Mahr Drum Metering Pumps are designed for precise metering of products with varying viscosities, from thin to thick. Each system uses a gear metering pump, force-fed by a patented impeller design, ensuring metering accuracy of better than ±1%. The impeller helps minimize cavitation within the pump. The platen rides on the product surface, descending to the bottom of the barrel, and can be heated. A rubber gasket on the platen ensures complete cleaning of the container sides. Mahr Drum Pumps also prevent product contamination from air, gas, and moisture.

  • viscosities up to 1,500,000 cP
  • efficiently meters product to the drum's bottom
  • metering accuracy better than ±1%
  • available for 5 gal pail or 55 gal drum

With a Mahr drum pump, no feed pump is required, as it is mounted to a pressurized platen, eliminating the need for costly additional equipment. The drum metering pump provides high accuracy, with or without additional controls.

Versatile, modular construction:

MarDrum HV can be sized for pilot plants or higher-volume full production facilities. This machine can be used independently or coupled with any of Mahr’s other machine to create a fully custom system tailored for the process requirements. Complete metering systems are available, including recirculation loops, flow meter readouts, PLC controls, data logging, touch screen interfaces, and mixing systems.
