Flexicon Tip-Tite box-container tipper

The Tip-Tite box-container tipper from Flexicon forms a dust-tight seal between container and equipment, tips the container and discharges bulk material through a chute at controlled rates.

The tipper accommodates boxes, including truncated corner boxes, from 915 to 1220 mm on a side, and 990 to 1117 mm overall height.

The container platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the top edge of a box 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 that may otherwise bridge across smaller openings and allows control of the material discharge.

The tipper is available in stainless steel to food, dairy, pharmaceutical or industrial standards and of mild steel with durable industrial coatings.

It is available with optional receiving hoppers configured with the company’s mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location.
