High-Lift Box/Container Dumper
June 21, 2011
The Tip-Tite high-lift box/container dumper discharges dust-free into vessels 6 to 10 ft above the plant floor. The dumper allows boxes and other containers to be loaded at floor level, sealed against a discharge hood, elevated and tipped, mating the hood outlet to a gasketted inlet port fitted to any receiving vessel. The dumper accommodates Gaylords and other boxes from 36 to 48 in. on a side and 39 to 44 in. overall height. The container platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the top edge of the container and the underside of the discharge hood. A second hydraulic cylinder raises the platform-hood assembly vertically, before tipping it to a motion-dampened stop at 60 degrees beyond horizontal, causing the vertically-oriented hood outlet to mate with the receiving vessel's horizontally-oriented inlet port.
