Base Handling Ltd - 300 Litre Bin Tipper

• Transferring ingredients or waste from standard 300-litre bins into processing machinery or larger containers.
• Loading hoppers, mixers, or conveyors in food processing lines.
• Handling bulk materials in pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing.
• Emptying waste bins into compactors or skips in industrial settings.

Typical capacity

Designed for standard 300-litre Eurobins, commonly found in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Power supply

Typically electric, requiring a 3-phase supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for hydraulic or electromechanical operation.

Lift height

Commonly ranges from 1.5m to 3m, depending on the intended discharge point. Buyers should confirm exact lift height with the seller.

Construction material

Units for food and pharmaceutical applications are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is generally compact, requiring approximately 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus operational clearance.

Tipping angle

Typically achieves a full inversion or steep angle (e.g., 135-150 degrees) to ensure complete discharge of contents.

• What safety features should I look for on a used bin tipper?
