Flexicon introduces Tip-Tite drum dumper

By Flexicon Europe on

Product Details Supplier Info More products

Flexicon’s latest drum dumper 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 Tip-Tite dumper accommodates drums from 115 to 210 litres.

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 dump angles of 45, 60 or 90 degrees 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 dumper is available in 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.
