Hydraulic Bin Tipper

• Used for emptying bulk bins of ingredients into processing lines in food manufacturing.
• Commonly employed in waste management for tipping refuse containers into larger collection vehicles or compactors.
• Utilised in agricultural settings for transferring produce from field bins into sorting or washing systems.
• Applied in chemical and pharmaceutical industries for controlled discharge of raw materials from containers.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on the specific design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase electrical power, commonly 400V, 50Hz, though hydraulic power packs may also be air-driven.

Bin compatibility

Commonly designed to accommodate standard Eurobins (200L or 300L) or bespoke containers; buyers should verify dimensions.

Tipping height

The maximum tipping height is typically between 1500 mm and 3000 mm, depending on the receiving vessel's requirements.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygienic applications or mild steel with a protective coating for general industrial use.

Safety features

Commonly includes safety cages, emergency stop buttons, and interlocked guarding for operator protection.
