ISCA - Dump Buggy Platform Elevator

• Elevating and tipping standard dump buggies (200L Eurobins) into processing machinery.
• Transferring bulk ingredients such as meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables from floor level to higher hoppers or conveyors.
• Integrating into production lines for automated feeding of mixers, grinders, or fillers.
• Use in food preparation areas requiring hygienic material handling.
• Facilitating ergonomic loading of processing equipment, reducing manual lifting.

Typical capacity

Designed for standard 200L Eurobins; custom units can accommodate other container sizes.

Lift height

Commonly ranges from 1.5m to 3m, depending on the receiving equipment's infeed height.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase electrical, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power based on lift capacity.

Material construction

Units in this class are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Safety features

Commonly includes safety interlocks, emergency stop buttons, and guarding to prevent access during operation.

Footprint

The base footprint is typically compact, designed to fit within existing production layouts, but varies with lift height and tipping angle.

Cleaning access

Designed for easy cleaning with open frame construction and smooth surfaces to meet hygiene standards.
