A handle 8 is provided on top of the follower plate 5 .

The dispenser is connected to the follower plate outside the middle thereof.

The disk 3 is then fixed to the pressure follower plate 4.

During the filling process, the pressure follower plate becomes soiled with material.

The pressure follower plate can then be introduced into another container without any further measures.

When the NEMO pump is started, a vacuum is created under the follower plate.

The stirring propeller 4 is able to rotate freely under the follower plate 2.

Prevent any risk that the operator will trap his fingers between the drum and the follower plate.

Ram air cylinders push pump and follower plate into the fluid.

This container centering guarantees an optimal seal of the follower plate to the container.

The process seal of the follower plate hermetically seals the material to be conveyed.

A further drawback is that a properly fitting follower plate is needed for each container size.

Due to the fact that the lid 1 simultaneously performs the task of a secure container closure and, after detachment from the closure ring 5, the function of a movable follower plate 11, there is attained not only a greater flexibility in the use of barrel pumps, but also a simplified and assured pumping-out of the container contents.

The disadvantage of this known drum is that because it lacks suitable filling and ventilating and/or venting provisions, it is suitable for only a single use, and because it also has a costly follower plate, it does not make economic sense to use.

When the highly viscous medium is loaded under pressure through the filling channel into the filling chamber of the container according to the invention, the follower plate is lifted by the increasing pressure as the filling level rise, said plate resting on the top of the medium located in the filling chamber and being sealed off from the side walls of the container, so that the filling chamber is sealed off in an airtight fashion on all sides and premature aging of the loaded medium is ruled out, which could otherwise occur as the result of contact with ambient air.
