No-Tip Drum Unloader

Volkmann Inc. introduces its next generation No-Tip Unloader, a device for unloading drums, eliminating the need to lift and tip the drum as required by traditional drum tippers. The No Tip Unloader uses a vacuum conveying lance, complete with suitable sensors and controls, to enter the drum from above to unload materials.

Unloading is achieved while maintaining the security of any liner, and an optional dust container can be added to the unit for containment at levels up to the HEPA standard. When the No-Tip is coupled with a vacuum receiver, it is possible to unload a drum as far as 200 ft from the discharge point. The No-Tip can be assembled on either a floor-mounted post hoist or a mobile trolley, providing flexibility in the production process.
