Flexicon Europe, Whitstable, UK, has introduced a TIP-TITE® tipper which is capable of discharging the bulk contents of boxes or containers dustfree into vessels from variable heights of up to about 3m above the plant floor. It is designed for applications where cleanliness is a prime requirement. Boxes are loaded at floor level and hydraulically seated against a discharge hood. The assembly is then hydraulically elevated and tipped, causing the discharge hood spout to seat against a gasketed ring installed on the receiving vessel or process equipment. Opening of a pneumatically actuated slide gate valve at the spout outlet allows controlled, dustfree discharge, while closing it allows partially empty boxes and containers to be returned to the plant floor. Constructed of stainless steel finished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards, the unit is engineered to perform with fail-safe reliability under constant use in demanding environments. It is also available fabricated from carbon steel, and offered with optional receiving hoppers configured with the company's mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location. www.flexicon.co.uk
