What power supply is typically required for a single pillar tipper?

Most industrial single pillar tippers operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK. Buyers should confirm exact voltage and current requirements with the seller.

Are these units suitable for outdoor use?

While constructed from stainless steel, the electrical components and general design are typically for indoor, controlled environments. Specific IP ratings and weatherproofing would need to be confirmed for outdoor applications.

What maintenance is generally involved with a single pillar tipper?

Routine maintenance typically includes lubrication of moving parts, inspection of chains and sprockets, checking electrical connections, and ensuring safety features are operational. Regular cleaning is also essential in food processing environments.

Can the discharge height be adjusted?

While this unit specifies a fixed discharge height, some models may offer limited on-site adjustment via limit switches. Significant changes to discharge height would typically require structural modification or a different model.

What safety considerations should be made for an unguarded tipper?

For unguarded units, a robust risk assessment is critical. This includes clear demarcation of the operating area, operator training, and strict adherence to 'hold to run' controls and emergency stop procedures to comply with PUWER.

BTM/300/1800/B Single Pillar Tipper

This Single Pillar Tipper 200 Litre tote bin tipper is designed to lift and tip at a discharge height of 1800mm. The Single Pillar Tipper is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a welded construction throughout and is designed to be bolted to the floor. The lifting is achieved by a ¾” Simplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column. The unguarded Single Pillar Tipper is fitted with our unique safety latch which engages automatically in the extremely unlikely event of a lift chain failure.

Single Pillar Tipper Electrical Control

This Single Pillar Tipper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the main column at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. The unguarded Single Pillar Tipper operates on a ‘hold to run’ principle such that the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ pushbuttons must be held for the Single Pillar Tipper to operate. As soon as either button is released, the Single Pillar Tipper will stop. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
