Bin Tipper

• Used in food processing for transferring bulk ingredients from large bins into processing lines.
• Commonly found in waste management facilities for emptying industrial waste bins into larger containers or compactors.
• Utilised in agricultural settings for tipping produce or feed from field bins into hoppers or conveyors.
• Applied in manufacturing for controlled discharge of components or raw materials from bulk containers.

Typical capacity

Units of this class typically handle bins up to 1,000 kg, suitable for standard Dolav or similar industrial bins.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for the hydraulic power pack.

Discharge height

Discharge heights are variable, typically ranging from 1,200 mm to 2,500 mm, depending on the specific model and application.

Footprint

The footprint for a unit of this type, including the safety cage, is typically around 2,000 mm x 1,500 mm.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel or painted mild steel, with stainless steel preferred for food-grade applications.

Safety features

Typically includes a safety cage, interlocked gates, and emergency stop buttons to ensure operator safety during operation.
