ISCA - Combo Dumper

• Used for controlled emptying of bulk containers into processing lines.
• Ideal for transferring ingredients from combo bins or drums into mixers or hoppers.
• Applicable in food processing for handling raw materials, semi-finished products, and waste.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical and chemical industries requiring hygienic material transfer.
• Utilised in bakeries, meat processing, dairy, and confectionery for efficient product flow.

Typical lifting capacity

Units in this class commonly handle loads ranging from 500 kg to over 2000 kg, with custom designs often exceeding this.

Typical tip height

Commonly ranges from 1.5 metres to 3.5 metres, customisable to specific receiving equipment.

Construction material

Typically available in 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical applications, or mild steel for less stringent environments.

Power supply

Most units operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power ratings depending on lift capacity and speed.

Drive mechanism

Often features a robust chain drive system for reliable and controlled tipping.

Safety features

Typically includes fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during unsafe conditions.

Footprint

Varies significantly based on lift height and container size, but typically requires sufficient floor space for the base unit and operational clearance.
