Tote Bin Hoist

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for elevating and tipping standard tote bins (Eurobins) into processing machinery.
• Commonly found in meat processing plants for loading mincers, mixers, and stuffers.
• Utilised in bakeries and confectionery for adding ingredients to large mixing vats.
• Applied in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for controlled discharge of bulk materials.
• Suitable for food manufacturing lines requiring hygienic transfer of ingredients.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities typically range from 200kg to 500kg, accommodating standard 200L or 300L tote bins.

Lifting height

The model number suggests a lifting height of approximately 2400mm, suitable for feeding various processing machines.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required.

Construction material

Units designed for food and pharmaceutical use are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene.

Tipping angle

Typically designed to achieve a near-complete inversion of the tote bin for full product discharge.

Safety features

Commonly include safety cages, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during maintenance.

Footprint

The footprint will vary, but buyers should consider the space required for the hoist itself plus operational clearance for loading and unloading bins.
