This story appeared in the Fall 2017 edition of Plastics Recycling magazine.
Tip-Tite Flexicon's newest hydraulic dumper is used to empty bulk solids from mobile bins into processing equipment or storage vessels. Within the plastics recycling industry, wheeled tote bins can be used to transport shredded plastic. The tote dumper lifts the wheeled tote and seals its rim against a discharge hood. The hood has a spout that can connect to conveying, blending or other processing equipment. The dumper can accommodate bins up to 44 inches high and 48 inches wide. It is constructed from carbon steel, with stainless steel used for its material handling surfaces.
What's new? The dumper.
Benefits Dust-free discharge owing to the pneumatically actuated slide gate valve at the spout outlet.
