ISCA - Box Dumper

• Transferring bulk ingredients like fruit, vegetables, or meat from large containers into processing lines.
• Emptying waste bins or scrap material from production areas into larger collection systems.
• Loading hoppers or conveyors with raw materials from palletainers or drums.
• Feeding packaging machinery with products from intermediate storage bins.
• Handling and tipping ingredients in bakeries, dairies, and ready-meal facilities.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly handle loads from 500 kg up to 2,000 kg, with custom options for higher capacities.

Common tip height

Units are typically designed for tip heights ranging from 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm, customisable to specific receiving equipment.

Construction material

Many units are constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene, with mild steel options available for less demanding environments.

Power supply

Typically, these machines operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Drive mechanism

Chain drive systems are commonly employed for their robustness and reliability in lifting and tipping operations.

Safety features

Units commonly include fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during unsafe conditions.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on capacity and tip height, but buyers should anticipate a base area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m for standard models.

• What types of containers can a box dumper handle?

  This equipment is typically designed to handle standard bins, drums, palletainers, and various other bulk containers, with custom cradles available for specific container types.

• Is this equipment suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a box dumper?
