ISCA - Dough Tub Dumper

• Transferring dough from large tubs into mixers or hoppers in bakeries.
• Tipping bulk ingredients like flour, sugar, or grains into processing lines.
• Emptying waste or by-products from containers into skips or disposal systems.
• Loading raw materials into hoppers for snack food production.
• Moving semi-finished products between stages in confectionery manufacturing.

Typical lifting capacity

Units in this class commonly handle loads from 100 kg up to several tonnes, depending on the specific design.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power ratings based on lifting capacity.

Construction material

For food processing, units are predominantly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet hygiene standards.

Tip height

Commonly customised to suit the receiving vessel, with standard models often reaching tip heights of 1.5 to 3 metres.

Drive mechanism

Chain drive systems are frequently employed for their robustness and reliability in industrial tipping applications.

Safety features

Units typically include fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stops, and interlocks to protect operators.

  Dough tub dumpers are typically designed to handle various industrial containers, including dough tubs, bins, drums, and palletainers, often with customisable cradles or clamping mechanisms.

• Is customisation available for specific operational needs?

• What are the typical hygiene requirements for this equipment?

• What is the typical footprint of a dough tub dumper?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of dumper?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
