Flexicon Tip-Tite sanitary box tipper

Tuesday, 19 March, 2013 | Supplied by: Flexicon Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited


The Tip-Tite Sanitary Box Tipper from Flexicon forms a dust-tight seal between the container and the equipment, tips the container, and discharges bulk material at controlled rates. The unit is intended for tipping of bulk foods, pharmaceuticals and contamination-sensitive chemicals from boxes weighing up to 1134 kg and measuring 915 to 1220 mm on a side and 990 to 1117 mm in height.

The container platform is raised by dual hydraulic cylinders, creating a dust-tight seal between the top edge of a box and the underside of a discharge hood. Twin hydraulic cylinders then pivot the platform-hood assembly, with dust-tight seal intact, to 45, 60 or 90° beyond horizontal, including a motion-dampening feature at the termination of container rotation. A pneumatically actuated slide gate at the discharge end of the cone controls the flow of material into storage vessels or process equipment.

An optional, gasketted discharge gate actuated by twin pneumatic cylinders provides a large opening with chute for the passage of larger objects or non-free-flowing bulk solids that may otherwise bridge across smaller openings, and allows control of the material discharge.

The tipper is constructed of stainless steel with continuous welds ground and polished to sanitary standards. All horizontal frame members are fabricated of round stainless steel tubing to promote water run-off in washdown environments. Other sanitary features include capped threads, sloped-top control enclosures, guarding stand-off brackets and food-grade epoxy paint on hydraulic cylinders.
