TIP-TITE Hydraulic Dumper discharges bulk solid materials from mobile bins at controlled rates into downstream process equipment or storage vessels free of dust.
After securing the bin with a safety-interlocked door, a pair of hydraulic cylinders raises the bin vertically, seating its rim against the underside of a rectangular discharge hood. A second pair of hydraulic cylinders then elevates and tips the assembly, causing the discharge spout on the hood to mate with a gasketed inlet ring fitted to the lid of receiving hoppers, storage vessels or process equipment.
Opening a pneumatically-actuated slide gate valve at the spout outlet allows dust-free discharge at controlled rates, while closing the valve allows empty or partially empty bins to be returned to the plant floor with no dust emission.
The unit can be sized to accommodate bins with rim dimensions up to 48 in. (1220 mm) on a side, and up to 44 in. (1117 mm) in height. It is constructed as standard of carbon steel with stainless steel material contact surfaces, or in all stainless steel.
Features:
- stops dust with tight seal
