Double Pillar Tipper

• Used for controlled discharge of bulk materials from bins, drums, or containers into process equipment.
• Commonly employed in food processing for transferring ingredients into mixers or hoppers.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical manufacturing for handling raw materials and intermediate products.
• Applied in chemical industries for safe and efficient material transfer.
• Found in waste management for emptying bins into larger collection or processing units.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from 200 kg to 1500 kg, depending on the specific model and design.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power requirements.

Lift height

Commonly, lift heights for double pillar tippers range from 1.5 metres to 4 metres, suitable for feeding various processing lines.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Tipping angle

Most units offer a tipping angle of 135 to 150 degrees, ensuring complete discharge of materials.

Safety features

Commonly include safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during unsafe conditions.

• What type of containers can a double pillar tipper handle?

  These units are typically designed to handle standard bins, drums, or tote bins, often with customisable cradles to suit specific container dimensions. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their existing containers.

• What are the common maintenance requirements for this type of equipment?

• Is this equipment suitable for outdoor use?

• What footprint does a double pillar tipper typically require?

• Can the tipping speed be adjusted?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
