Container Dumper
Box Container Discharge
11.02.2010 | Deskman: Marcel Dröttboom
Dust free discharge of bulk material from box containers at controlled rates can be achieved with Flexicon’s box-container dumper.
The system accommodates boxes and bins from 915 to 1220 mm on a side and 990 to 1120 mm overall height. The platform is raised by a hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the top edge of a box (or rim of a drum) and the underside of the containment hood. Twin hydraulic cylinders then pivot the platform-hood assembly, with container intact, to 45, 60 or 90 degrees beyond horizontal, including a motion-dampening feature at the termination of container rotation. An optional, gasketted, top discharge gate, actuated by twin pneumatic cylinders, provides a large opening with chute for the passage of non-free-flowing bulk solids, which may otherwise bridge across smaller openings, allowing control of the material discharge. The box-container dumper is available with optional receiving hoppers configured with the company’s mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location.
