Dust-Free Transfer of Bulk Solids

A TIP-TITE drum dumper can accommodate drums from 30 to 55 gallons weighing up to 750 lbs. and measuring 36" to 48" high.

Flexicon

Flexicon (Bethlehem, PA) offers their new Mobile Drum Dumper-Conveyor System that allows dust-free dumping of bulk solid materials from drums in conveying it to process equipment and storage vessels throughout the plant. Features include:

  • A TIP-TITE drum dumper that can accommodated drums from 30 to 55 gallons weighing up to 750 lbs. and measuring 36" to 48" height.
  • Can be mounted on a mobile frame with quick-action floor jacks to hydraulically raise the drum to form a dust-tight seal between the rim of a drum and the underside of the discharge cone.
  • A separate hydraulic cylinder tips the platform-hood assembly and drum, stopping at dump angles of 45, 60 or 90 degrees with a motion-dampening feature.
  • A vertically-oriented cone mates with a gasketed inlet port fitted to the hopper of the system’s flexible screw conveyor, and to any low-profile equipment throughout the plant.
  • A pneumatically-actuated slide gate valve prevents material flow until the discharge cone has been properly seated in the gasketed receiving ring.
