TIP-TITE™ sanitary high lift drum dumper launched by Flexicon Europe

A new sanitary high lift drum dumper has been launched by bulk solids handling specialist, Flexicon (Europe).

TIP-TITE™ allows drums to be loaded at floor level, sealed against a discharge cone, elevated and tipped, mating the cone to a gasketted receiving ring on downstream process equipment.

The new dumper can accommodate drums from 115 to 210 litres and can discharge bulk material into process vessels and equipment inlets 1525mm to 3050mm above the floor.

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

The platform hood assembly is raised vertically by a second hydraulic cylinder before it is tipped to a dump angle of 90 degrees, causing the vertically oriented cone to mate with a sealed receiving ring.

The ring can be 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 stops material flow until the discharge cone has been seated in the receiving ring.

The all-stainless unit can be finished to sanitary or industrial standards.
