NNP IBC Tilting Frame

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in food processing to facilitate the controlled discharge of ingredients from Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs).
• Commonly employed in bakeries and confectionery for dispensing dry ingredients like flour, sugar, or cocoa.
• Utilised in dairy and beverage production for emptying liquid or semi-liquid ingredients from IBCs.
• Applicable in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for precise material handling and discharge from bulk containers.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Designed to accommodate standard IBCs, typically ranging from 500 to 1,500 litres.

Power supply

Pneumatic operation is common for this type of tilting frame, requiring a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar.

Material of construction

Units for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Tilting mechanism

Pneumatic cylinders are commonly used to provide a controlled and smooth tilting action for discharge.

Discharge angle

Typically offers a maximum tilt angle of 30-45 degrees to ensure complete material evacuation.

Footprint

The footprint will vary, but buyers should consider the space required for the frame and the IBC when tilted.
