Base Handling Ltd - Hydraulic Box Tipper

• Efficiently empties bulk containers of raw materials into processing lines.
• Used for controlled discharge of components onto conveyor systems or workbenches.
• Facilitates waste management by tipping refuse bins into larger compactors or skips.
• Commonly employed in food processing for transferring ingredients from large bins to hoppers.

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for the hydraulic power pack.

Tipping height

Commonly found tipping heights are between 1200 mm and 2500 mm, designed to suit various receiving hoppers or conveyors.

Construction material

Typically constructed from mild steel with a painted finish; stainless steel options are common for food-grade or corrosive environments.

Control system

Units often feature a simple push-button control panel, with options for integrated safety interlocks.

Footprint

The footprint for a hydraulic box tipper typically varies, but buyers should anticipate a base area of approximately 1500 mm x 1500 mm, plus clearance.
