ISCA - Dough Tub Tipper

• Transferring dough from tubs into mixers or hoppers in bakeries.
• Loading ingredients from bulk containers into processing lines in food factories.
• Tipping waste or by-products into disposal units in food manufacturing.
• Handling and transferring powders or granular materials in pharmaceutical production.
• Emptying large bins of raw materials into smaller feed systems.

Typical lifting capacity

Units in this class commonly handle loads from 100 kg up to several tonnes, with custom designs often exceeding standard capacities.

Typical tip height

Commonly ranges from 1.5 metres to over 3 metres, depending on the receiving vessel's height.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on motor size.

Construction material

Often manufactured from 304 or 316-grade stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical applications, or mild steel for less stringent environments.

Drive mechanism

Units commonly feature hydraulic or chain-driven lifting mechanisms for robust and controlled operation.

Footprint

The base footprint typically ranges from 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.5m, varying with capacity and tip height.

Safety features

Units commonly include fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during unsafe conditions.

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.
