Flexicon unveils box-container dumper

Published: 13-Jan-2010

The latest addition to Flexicon’s Tip-Tite series of dumpers is a box-container dumper, which forms a dust-tight seal between the container and the equipment, tips the container and discharges bulk material through a chute at controlled rates.

The product from the Herne Bay, Kent, UK firm accommodates boxes and bins from 915mm to 1220mm on a side and 990mm to 1120mm overall height. A single hydraulic cylinder raises the cylinder platform, creating a dust-tight seal between the top edge of a box (or rim of a drum) and the underside of the containment hood.

Twin hydraulic cylinders then pivot the platform-hood assembly, with container intact, to 45, 60 or 90 degrees beyond horizontal, including a motion-dampening feature once the container has stopped rotating.

An optional, gasketted, top discharge gate, actuated by twin pneumatic cylinders, provides a large opening with chute for the passage of non-free-flowing bulk solids.

The dumper is made from stainless steel to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.

It is available with optional receiving hoppers configured with the company's mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location.
