What safety features are typically included on hydraulic tote dumpers?

Common safety features include 'hold to run' controls, safety check valves on hydraulic cylinders to prevent uncontrolled descent, and emergency stop buttons. Guards may also be fitted depending on the specific design and application.

Can this equipment be integrated into an automated production line?

Many hydraulic tote dumpers are designed with volt-free contacts or similar interfaces, allowing for connection to external control systems or 'call to run' signals for integration into automated lines.

What maintenance is typically required for a hydraulic tote dumper?

Routine maintenance typically involves checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting hoses and seals for wear, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring electrical connections are secure. Regular cleaning is also essential, especially in food processing environments.

Is this type of equipment suitable for outdoor use?

While stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance, the electrical components and hydraulic power pack are typically designed for indoor, sheltered use. Specific IP ratings and environmental protection should be confirmed for outdoor applications.

What are the typical footprint requirements for a hydraulic tote dumper?

The footprint varies with capacity and design but generally requires sufficient space for the unit itself, plus clear areas for loading and unloading bins, and access for maintenance. Buyers should consult the seller for exact dimensions.

BTH/750/950/M Hydraulic Tote Dumper

This Hydraulic Tote Dumper was designed to lift and tip a standard Dolaf Bin (1200 x 1000 x 800mm High) at a height of 950mm and has a Safe Working Load of 750Kgs. The Hydraulic Tote Dumper is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a TIG welded construction throughout and would be mobile on two fixed and two swivel braked castors. This Hydraulic Tote Dumper 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 10 degrees past the horizontal. The hydraulic cylinder is fitted with a safety check valve such that even in the unlikely event of a hydraulic hose failure, the raised bin will not fall to the floor.

Hydraulic Tote Dumper Electrical Control

This Hydraulic Tote Dumper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is 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 unguarded Hydraulic Tote Dumper operates on a ‘hold to run’ principle such that the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ pushbuttons must be held for the Hydraulic Tote Dumper to operate. As soon as either button is released, the Hydraulic Tote Dumper will stop. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
