ISCA - Guarded Bin Tipper

• Transferring ingredients from large bins into processing machinery.
• Loading raw materials into hoppers or mixers at elevated positions.
• Emptying waste or by-products from containers into disposal systems.
• Feeding bulk solids into packaging lines.
• Moving ingredients between different stages of a food production process.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities are highly variable, with many units capable of handling several hundred kilograms, and some designed for significantly heavier loads.

Common tip heights

Units commonly offer tip heights up to approximately 1500mm, though customisation for specific applications is frequent.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene-critical environments, or mild steel for less demanding applications.

Power supply

Hydraulic or pneumatic systems are commonly used, requiring appropriate power and air supplies for operation.

Suitable container types

Designed to lift and tip various containers, including standard bins, drums, dolafs, and palletainers.

Safety features

Units commonly include fully enclosed safety guards and hose burst fuses on hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on lifting capacity, tip height, and guarding options, requiring site-specific assessment.
