What types of containers can a geobox tipper handle?

Geobox tippers are specifically designed to handle standard industrial geoboxes or similar large bulk containers. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific bin dimensions.

Is this equipment suitable for washdown environments?

Units constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel and with IP-rated electrical components are generally suitable for washdown, which is crucial in food processing environments.

What maintenance is typically required for a hydraulic tipper?

Routine maintenance typically involves checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting hoses and seals for wear, and ensuring electrical connections are secure. Regular lubrication of moving parts may also be required.

Can the tipping angle be adjusted?

Some geobox tippers offer adjustable tipping angles, while others are set to a fixed angle. Buyers should inquire about this unit's specific capabilities if variable tipping is required.

What safety standards should this equipment comply with?

In the UK, such equipment should comply with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and relevant machinery safety standards. Features like 'hold to run' controls and safety check valves contribute to compliance.

BTH/250/900/M Geobox Tipper

The Geobox Tipper was designed to lift and tip Geobox (1200 x 1000 x 740mm High) at a height of 900mm and has a Safe Working Load of 250 Kgs. The lift carriage was fitted with a stainless steel tipping chute which tapered to a 900mm outlet to direct the Vials into the receiving hopper. The Geobox Tipper is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a fully welded construction throughout and was designed to be mobile on castors. This Geobox Tipper was powered via a hydraulic powerpack and tipped the containers by the extension of a pair of stainless steel hydraulic cylinder to an angle of 30 degrees past the horizontal. The hydraulic cylinders were fitted with a safety check valve such that even in the unlikely event of a hydraulic hose failure, the raised bin will be safely retained.

The Geobox Tipper was supplied with a floor mounted location bracket to locate the machine centrally and at the correct distance from the receiving hopper. The bracket was fitted with a magnet which would activate a switch mounted on the machine once the machine was positioned correctly.

Geobox Tipper Electrical Control

The Geobox Tipper was fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel mounted on the main frame at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The Geobox Tipper operates on a dual pushbutton ‘hold to run’ principle such that the ‘Master’ push button and either the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ pushbuttons must be held for the machine to operate. As soon as either button is released, the machine will stop. The control panel has two pair of volt free contacts to allow the control to be interfaced with other equipment.
