Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper

BTM/300/1100/B/G/SL Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper

This Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper was designed to lift and tip an 850mm diameter mixing bowl at a discharge height of 1100mm. The mixing bowl was loaded by being wheeled onto a pair of lifting forks that lifted the bowl clear of the floor. Prior to lifting, an electrically interlocked clamp gate must be closed and clamped to prevent the bowl from moving and the bowl was also securely retained in the tipped position. The Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper was manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a welded construction throughout and is designed to be bolted to the floor. The lifting is achieved by a ¾” Duplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

The Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet. It encloses the machine to a height of 2200mm on two sides, 1000mm at the tipping position with a hinged guard door at the loading position. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the guard door can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised.

Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper Electrical Control

The Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper was fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel mounted on the main column at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site.

The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility. The Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper operation is on a hold to run basis so that holding the ‘Up’ push button will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, holding the ‘Down’ push button once will return the Guarded Mixing Bowl Tipper to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
