Pennsylvania-based Flexicon have released a new TIP-TITE® High-Lift Box/Container Tipper. Constructed of stainless steel, the unit is engineered to perform with fail-safe reliability under constant use in demanding industrial environments. The unit accommodates boxes and other containers from 915 to 1220 mm on a side, and 990 to 1117 mm overall height.
Boxes and other containers are loaded at floor level and hydraulically seated against a discharge hood. The assembly is then hydraulically elevated and tipped, causing the discharge hood spout to seat against a gasketed receiving ring installed on any receiving vessel or process equipment. Opening of a pneumatically actuated slide gate valve at the spout outlet allows controlled, dust-free discharge, while closing it allows partially empty boxes and containers to be returned to the plant floor.
