New Equipment Roundup: November

Flexicon's new Tip-Tite mobile drum dumper with integral flexible screw conveyor is designed for use in hazardous locations.

The unit allows volumetric feeding of bulk material from drums into downstream processes dust free and with minimal operator intervention. The system is mounted on a mobile frame with quick-action floor jacks for stable operation anywhere in the plant.

The hydraulic power unit used to lift, seal, and tip the drums is powered pneumatically, eliminating the risk of potential sparks from electrical or other equipment that might otherwise be used to actuate the hydraulics. As an additional safeguard, the controls for the flexible screw conveyor are mounted on extended support brackets, placing them outside of the hazardous zone.
