Drum tipper

Tuesday, 01 September, 2009 | Supplied by: Flexicon Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited


Flexicon’s Tip-Tite drum tipper seals drums against a discharge cone, tips the drum, mates the cone against a gasketted connection and discharges bulk material dust-free through a slide gate valve.

The tipper accommodates drums from 114 to 208 L.

The drum platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the rim of a drum and the underside of the discharge cone.

A second hydraulic cylinder tips the platform-hood assembly and drum, stopping at tip angles of 45, 60 or 90° with a motion-dampening feature. The vertically oriented cone mates with a gasketted inlet port fitted to the lid of an optional hopper with integral flexible screw conveyor or pneumatic pick-up adapter, or to existing process equipment.

A pneumatically actuated slide gate valve prevents material flow until the discharge cone has been properly seated in the gasketted receiving ring.

The drum tipper is available constructed in all-stainless-steel finished, to food, dairy, pharmaceutical or industrial standards, or mild steel with durable industrial finishes, with material contact surfaces of stainless steel.

The company also manufactures high-lift drum tippers, drum fillers, bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag fillers, flexible screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, bag dump stations, box/container tippers, weigh batching and blending systems and engineered plant-wide bulk handling systems with automated controls.
