ISCA - Mail Package Tipper

• Efficiently empties mail packages, roll cages, or pallet boxes into processing lines or hoppers.
• Used in food processing for transferring bulk ingredients from containers to mixers or conveyors.
• Applicable in waste management for tipping bins into compactors or shredders.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical manufacturing for controlled discharge of raw materials.
• Suitable for logistics and distribution centres to transfer goods from large containers to smaller sorting systems.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on the specific model and design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor power for hydraulic or electric actuation.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications or mild steel for general industrial use, with fully TIG/MIG welded construction.

Typical tip height

Tip heights are highly customisable but typically range from 1.5 metres to 3 metres to suit various receiving hoppers or conveyors.

Safety features

Units commonly feature fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocked gates to ensure operator safety.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with capacity and tip height, but buyers should anticipate a base area of approximately 1.5m x 2m for standard models.

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.
