Salad Bin Tipper

• Transferring salad leaves and other delicate produce from bulk bins into processing lines.
• Feeding washing, drying, or packaging machinery in a controlled manner.
• Minimising manual handling and improving ergonomic safety in food processing environments.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical capacity

Designed to handle standard industrial bulk bins, commonly 200-500 kg capacity depending on product density.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase electrical supply, 400V, 50Hz, with a power draw suitable for hydraulic or electric motor operation.

Tipping height

Commonly adjustable or fixed to discharge at heights suitable for standard processing equipment, often between 1200mm and 2000mm.

Construction material

Predominantly stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Control system

Typically features simple push-button controls for lift and tip functions, often with safety interlocks.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint will accommodate the bin and lifting mechanism, typically 1500mm x 1500mm to 2000mm x 2000mm.
