What types of drums can this tipper handle?

Guarded drum tippers are typically designed to handle standard industrial drums, including steel, plastic, and fibre drums, often with specific cradle attachments for different drum diameters and heights. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific drum types.

Is this unit suitable for hazardous environments?

While the description highlights robust safety features, suitability for hazardous (e.g., ATEX) environments is not specified. Buyers requiring ATEX compliance should confirm this directly with the seller.

What maintenance is typically required for a drum tipper?

Routine maintenance commonly involves checking hydraulic fluid levels (if applicable), inspecting moving parts for wear, lubricating bearings, and verifying the functionality of safety interlocks and limit switches. Regular cleaning is also essential, especially in food processing environments.

Can the tipping angle be adjusted?

Many drum tippers offer adjustable tipping angles to ensure complete discharge of various materials. The extent of adjustability can vary between models, so buyers should confirm this with the seller.

What are the key safety considerations for operating a guarded drum tipper?

Key safety considerations include ensuring the safety guard is fully closed and interlocked during operation, adherence to PUWER regulations, proper training for operators, and regular inspection of emergency stop functions and limit switches.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

This Guarded Drum Tipper was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet. The safety guard encloses the Guarded Drum Tipper to a height of 2200mm on two sides, 1800mm on the tipping side with a hinged guard door on the fourth side. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Guarded Drum Tipper from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the guard door can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised.

Guarded Drum Tipper Electrical Control

This Guarded Drum Tipper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the main column at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility.

The Guarded Drum Tipper operation is latched so that pressing the ‘Up’ push button once will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, pressing the ‘Down’ push button once will return the Guarded Drum Tipper to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
