Hydraulic Bin Tipper

• Efficiently empties bulk bins or containers into processing lines or hoppers.
• Used in food processing for transferring ingredients or waste products.
• Commonly found in waste management for emptying bins into compactors or skips.
• Utilised in manufacturing for feeding components or raw materials from bulk storage.
• Applicable in agricultural settings for transferring produce or feed.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly handle bins from 200 kg to 1,500 kg.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Lift height

Commonly provides a discharge height between 1,200 mm and 3,000 mm.

Bin compatibility

Designed to accommodate standard industrial bins or specific custom containers, often with a maximum bin width of 1,200 mm.

Construction material

Often constructed from mild steel with a painted finish, or stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint might be around 1,500 mm (W) x 1,500 mm (D) x 2,500 mm (H) when lowered.

• What safety features are typically included on a hydraulic bin tipper?

  Common safety features include interlocked guarding, emergency stop buttons, hydraulic safety valves to prevent uncontrolled descent, and often a robust cage or frame to secure the bin during tipping.

• Can this type of equipment be used with different bin sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used hydraulic bin tipper?

• Is a hydraulic bin tipper suitable for outdoor use?

• What are the typical installation requirements for a hydraulic bin tipper?

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.
