CM Process Solutions - Column Dumper

• Transferring bulk ingredients from large bins or vats into processing machinery.
• Loading mixers, hoppers, and conveyors in food processing lines.
• Handling and emptying waste bins or containers in industrial settings.
• Feeding raw materials into production lines in chemical or pharmaceutical industries.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from 200 kg to over 1000 kg, depending on the specific bin size and lift height.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power.

Lift height

Typical lift heights for column dumpers range from 1.5 metres to 3.5 metres, suitable for feeding standard processing equipment.

Construction material

Units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygienic applications, or painted mild steel for general industrial use.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly, but typically requires a floor area of 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.5m, plus operational clearance.

Tipping angle

A typical tipping angle for effective emptying is around 45 to 60 degrees, ensuring complete discharge of materials.

• What types of containers can a column dumper handle?

  Column dumpers are designed to handle various standard industrial containers, including Eurobins, V-mag buggies, and custom-sized bins, often requiring specific cradle attachments.

• What safety features are typically included?
