TIP-TITE is mounted on a mobile frame with quick-action floor jacks for stable operation.
The new TIP-TITE Mobile Drum Dumper from Flexicon enables dust-free transfer of bulk materials from drums into process equipment and storage vessels.
Ready to plug in and run, it is mounted on a mobile frame with quick-action floor jacks for stable operation.
A hydraulic cylinder raises the drum carriage which seals the drum rim against a discharge cone. A second hydraulic cylinder with a motion-dampening feature tips the carriage-hood assembly and drum, stopping at a predetermined dump angle of either 45, 60 or 90 degrees.
As the assembly approaches its fully-tipped position, the outlet of the discharge cone mates with a gasketed receiving-ring inlet. The inlet can be fitted to existing process equipment or to the lid of an optional hopper with an integral pneumatic, tubular cable or flexible screw conveyor, creating a dust-tight seal.
Once the discharge cone is seated against the gasket, a pneumatically-actuated slide gate valve opens, allowing material to enter the receiving vessel.
The unit accommodates drums from 30 to 55 gal (114 to 208 liters) weighing up to 750 lbs (340 kg) and measuring 36” to 48” (91 to 122 cm) in height.
An optional pneumatically-actuated vibrator on the discharge cone promotes complete evacuation of non-free-flowing materials.
The drum dumper is constructed of mild steel with durable industrial finishes, with material contact surfaces of stainless steel or in all-stainless steel finished to food, dairy, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.
